CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Chairnwn'5 Siatement
It is a pleasure once again to present Essex Community Foundation Trustees, Annual Report and Financial
Statements for the year ending 30 June 2023.This report, complemented by our Annual Review, highlights
our key activities and achievement
This has been my frfth yearas Chair of Trustees. during which I was also privileged to seNe as High Sherrff of
Essex which gave me a helpful additional perspective to the work of the Foundation. I have been struck by
how our communities have stood strong in the face of another turbulent year. Without doubt the ongoing
cost-of4iving crisis, the lingering impactof the COVILY19 pandemic and global economic uncertainties have
created a challenging environmentforour local charities and voluntarygroups. But we have seen resilience.
commitmenL and adaptabilityfirst hand and through our grantmaking.
Thanks to the incredible generosiiyof our donors, this year we have paid out grants totalling £4.4 million to
support a wide range of small charities working at the heart of their local communities. We remain
committed not only to help charities expand and develop their work, but also to provide financial sUPPOrt
towards their core costs with 55% of our grants supporting these everydaydemands.
Our Community Listening Projects give us a deeper understanding of the ongoing challenges that local
groups are tackling and of what we can do to help.our latest research highlights the impact of the cost-of-
living crisis and the pandemic, both on organisationsand on iheir beneficiaries. In response, during the year
trustees agreed to offer an immediate, and well-re(eived uplift to oursmall existing grant partners you can
read more on pages 910.
We have Ixn in our new home forjusi overa year now and this has given us the opportunity to widen our
support by offering free meeting and workspace. We have actively promoted the Foundation Hub to
charities we supporL and the Hub has al￿adY been used for over 2.200 hours.This is just one way we
facilitate collaboration and networking among charities, and we continue to explore how we can advocate
forthem and enhance their collective impact.
The development of our philanthropy work has remained a priority. and during the year, new and existing
donors gave £2.7 million into endowed funds. Our core offer remains to engage our donors in loni>term,
philanthropic giving by working with them to understand and meettheircharitable aims. Our Private Client
Networking events have proved a particularly popular way to share the benefits of working with the
Foundation to a range of finance and legal professionals and we will coniinue this successful initkltive. we
write more about this on pages l 0-11.
Finally, l am excited that our trustees and the team have started io consider our next strategic plan, which
11 come into effect in 2024. This work will develop over the coming year as we consider how we can use
all our resources to further our workfor the benefit of Essex.
On behalf of the Foundation. l express my deep gratitude to our fundholders and donor& our volunteer&
trustees, and staff team. led by our CEO, Caroline Taylor. You are the"Essex Community Foundation
family'.Together with our friends and colleagues across the voluntary sector we are making a difference in
our local communities, and l am excited to see what morewe can accomplish in the year ahead.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Essex Community Foundation currently has 146 endowed funds, iogether with 40 flowrhrough
funds currently under its management.
Significant Artlvlties
2023 was thefourth year of our fiv*year strategic plan and wecontinue to make good progress against
our objectives. The Board of Trustees reviewed our progress at an annual straiegy day in April and within
the year started to plan for our next strategic plan, which will commence in 2024.
Our latest Community Listening Project research, which is the third report commissioned. helped us to
understand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on our grant partners. Unsurprisingly key findings
included higher costs and lower income levels, the volume and complexity of demand, and volunieer
capacity with falling numbers. In response, trustees agreed to offer a 10% or £500 uplift, whichever was
the greater. to all existing endowmeni grant partners as the most immediate and practical way to offer
support.
We have had a full year working from our new office premises in central Chelmsford which we were
generously gifted the use of at a peppercorn rent of £1 txa. for 25 years by a local family. The team has
settled into our new home, and we held four open house events in the first 6 months of the year. io
welcome a range of guesis, including our founding CEO, Laura Warren. We started to promote and
increase the use of our ground floor space, Foundation Hub. which our grant partners and charities can
use for free.This is another way in which we can extend our support and resources to charities. The Hub
now has 60 registered users from 40 different organisations. Since it was launched in November 2022
over 2200 hour5 have been utilised. This equates to almost £40,000 at commercial rates.
Our CRM system is an integral operating tool that enables us to manage effectively our grantmaking,
finances, communications. and fund management. Our current Sysiem is no longer fit for purpose and
trusteesagreed to work with colleagues at Kent Community Foundation to share the costs of developing
a new CRM system that will meet both our requirements. This is a significant project that will pul us on a
firmer footing for the future and will ensure we can continually develop in line with our operating needs.
Head of Operations, Steve Mackenzie is leading on this project and the first phase is due to rolled out later
this year.
Newly appointed Trustee, Atul ManeL who succeeded Russell Edey as chair of our Audit & Risk
Committee. commenced a review of our risk framework. statement, and register. Atul is an experienced
Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and is working with all committees and the executive
team to lead on ihe review which will conclude in 2023124. Interim results show that our approach is
Strong with minor improvements and additions required.
We were humbled to learn that a long-time supporter, DrGeoffrey Sneed whodied this year, had chosen
to leave his legacy to local communities. under our management. With a passion for engineering and
educaiion it will be a privilege to support future generations with an interest in these important subjects.
Finally, we developed a new relationship with Essex Life magazine and now publish monthly articles
showcasing the benefits of giving io communities through the Foundation.We regularly write articles for
several relevant business publications and are active on all social media plarforms. Our annual
programme of events commenced with our AGM ai Haifield Place in November where we were joined
by 130 guests. In March we hosted the annual High Sheriff Awards at Hylands Park, Chelmsford in
partnership with BBC Essex who broadcasted live from the event and two Spring receptions for
fundholders and supporters, held in April ai Ingaiestone Hall and in May at Layer Marney Tower. Events
focused on fund development continued with a series of networking meetings for professional advisers.

Environmental Social •nd Governance1$5ues
During the year ESG was embedded in each of the Board'scommittees Irather thèn working groups), with
the Chair taking responsibility for ensuring ESG remains a priority and reporting back to the Board. We
take ESG to mean recognising the importance of considering environmental, social and governance
issueswithin the organisation and across the organisation's work.
A key focus for our ESG work continues to be within our Finance & Investment Commiltee, particularly in
relation to the Foundation's investment porrfolio where funds are invested on behalf of our fundholders
to provide ongoing support io charities and voluntary organisaiions across Essex. Work in this area has
included..
Requiring more detailed ESG and responsiblelsustainable investment reporting from our three
fund managers and raising queries on these areas in our bi-annual factritrface meetings with
them.
Ensuring our approach to ESG is noted as a managed risk within our Finance & Investment
Committee risk register.
Organising workshops for trustees and staff to consider potential investment exclusions
ionsidering the range of stskeholders we work with and on behalf of. These lively participatory
sessions explored issues including the Foundation's objects, defining our stakeholders,
recognising that responsibility for investments lies with all trustees, the spectrum of capital, the
legal and regulatory framework for charity investments, investment policy examples and how
investment screens work.
The outcomes of these sessions will be considered by ihe Board. prior to a potential rewriting of the
Foundation's Investment Policy to take greater account of ESG issues.
In addition to the work above, on a broader level:
We remain a signaiory to the Living Wage and the Funder Commitment on Climate Change.
Grantmaking is now coded to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of our
management reporting framework.
We have a continued focus on managing environmental factors within our office building which
was designed with efficient heating and cooling systems and insulation for maximum energy
efficiency.
GrantmakiThg
We have paid out £4,427,366 in new grants this year, just ahead ofthe £4.422,122 paid in 2022. We were
able to pay 1,050 grants funding 629 organisations and 131 individuals. Our average grant is similar to
prÈYovid values at £5,238, and although a slight decrease, Ihis is generally due to the types of funding
programmes that we manage. so will vary from year to year. We continue to attract organisations that
had not applied to us before, with these firsi-time applicants receiving 27% of the total amount paid.
Grants to individuals increased from £110,494 in 2022 to £198.793.This is due to managing several new
funds with a focus oneducational grants and sUPPOrting physical health and people with disabilities.
The cost-of-living crisis has continued to impact the voluntary sector and the communities they sUPPOrt.
As a significant funder of small and grassroots organisations, we needed to provide an effective response
through a range of measures We promoted core costs funding, we priorilised'cost of living, applications,
we provided opportunities to discuss the impact of the crisis with groups and instigaied our ihird
community listening projeu ICLPI.
At the beginning of February 2023, Trusteesconsidered the analysis from the half-year grantmaking data
and the initial insighi from the CLP and agreed that we needed to do more to address the effects of the
cost-of-living crisis on organisations and small grassroots groups.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
As a resuli, we immediately offered a cost-of-living uplift of l 0% or £5(M) Ibased (n their original granL
whichever was greaierl to small and grassroots organisations, which cost £134,646 and came from the
Acorn Fund. We also provided an additional funding of £65,000 from our Acorn Fund to support
organisations wiih an urgent COSt-of-living related issue identified by the CLP. Additional emergency
funding was also received from fundholders to address the immediate impact of the crisis, including
Douglas Allen Estate Agenis providing £133.950 in emergency funds, East of England Ctrop awarding
£23.000 for warm hubs and our surviving winter/cost-of-living appeal raising £21,000.
We also continued to increase and improve access for underrepresented groups Wlth our funding to
minority ethnic community organisations and those sUPPOrting refugees and asylum seekers increasing
again this year to £313,000 from £229.270 last year. This demonstrates our continued commitment to
building relationships with marginalised groups including minority ethnic communities, to ensure equal
access to our funding. As a result, we were also able to deliver a Mental Health Inequalities programme
on beha￿of Mid & South Essex NHSTrustwith a focus on marginalised and historically underrepresented
iommunities.
Our support for the sustainability of the voluntary and community sector includes a focus on awarding
funding for core cost& This year we have paid 295 core grants. which is up by 73.5% from last year. and
core grants accounted for the largest percentage of grants paid at 55%. Of this, £1.548,982 came from
endowed and donor advised funds, which demonstrates the enthusiasm of our donors to support the
important everyday work undertaken by charitable and voluntary organisations across Essex.
The Thrive Programme, which provides tailored strategic and organisational development support in
partnership with the Cranfield Trust has completed three iohorts. The fourth cohort, which started in
March 2023 includes organisations from Southend and Thurrock, and this will complete at the end of
2023.
Grant Distributlon Pollcy
Each year the Board of Trustees approves a level of grant expenditure from endowed funds which is
consistent with the aim of maintaining the nominal value of endowment funds and subject to any
conditions imposed by donors. The Finance & Investment Committee recommends to the Board what it
considers to be an appropriate level to be distributed in granis. taking into accouni social needs,
economic outlool and the Foundation's policy to maintain the endowvment funds nominal value. A
distribution raie of5.$% was agreed for the year under review with the option to request additional funds
from discretionary funds if need was identified. In January 2023 Trustee5 agreed to provide a cost-of-
living response by withdrawing a further circa £200.000 from the Acorn Fund, representing a total
distribution within the year of 69&
Fund Development
The year under review has attracted £5.3 million in total income, including donations. from individuals.
companies. charitable trusts, the public sector, and investments, which is slightly less from £5.4 million
last year. This comprised £2.7 million in new endowed donations and £2.6 million in flowthrough funds.
investment and managemeni income.
Our Private Client Professional Adviser Networking events have continued todeveloll with three taking
place at Hatfield Place. Layer Marney Tower and Marks Hall Estate. Each event welcomed over 70
attendees and provides the opportunity to regularly engage with local advisors so that they can build
their knowledge and undersianding of the Foundation. These events also help us to understand what
information and support local advisors need to inform their clients about the multiple benefits of giving
through the Foundation. As a result, within the year we commenced planning of a new legacy strategy,
which will continue to develop in the coming year. As part of this process, we have developed a legacy
publication following requests from local Private Client Solicitor&

Our core offer remains to engage our donors in long-term, philanthropic giving by working with them to
understand theircharitable aims. Donors can establish a fund with a on*off donation, actively fundraise,
or make regular contributions to their fund. We can take on the management of existing charitable trusts

Investment Performance
The financial year started off on a negative note as rising consumer prices, on a global basis, led to the
authorities raising inierest rates, which caused prices of fixed inierest assets to fall. The UK had its own
particular problems to deal with in addition to inflation problems, not least the number of Chancellors of
the Exchequer over this period. The first of the four over this period was the incumbent, Rishi Sunak, for
the firs15 days of July and ihe last was Jeremy Hunt from 14 October. Just prior to Jeremy Hunt taking his
role UK terkyear government bond yields shot up to 4.5%, a level lasi seen in January 2008, from 2.3%,
causing problems for companies with high leve& of debt. Bond prices steadied but still fell over the 12-
month period and recorded a sizeable negative return.
Higher inflation. rising interest rates and rising yields initially led io weakness in equities as investors
Swltched into higher yielding bonds and cash. As the year progressed and ihe prospect of core inflation
peaking. $0 equities started to rally. Equities benefitted from their lower start value. from growth being
strongerthan anticipated and from news of advancements in generative artificial intelligence. As much
of this news came out of the US, the US market rallied more than most markets and $0 a bias io overseas
equities was beneficial to returns. Higher interest rates in the UK a150 led to sterling strengthening againsl
the dollar which acted as a slight headwind to the UK equity market. The investment committee gave our
fund managers greaterflexibility io invest in overseas equities, by reducing ihe benchmark of UK equilies
in January 2023. which aided performance.
Overthe 12-monthsio 30 June2023, the yield on ten-year UKgovernment bonds rose from 2.3% to45%.
This led io negative returns for fixed interest stocks. with the FT All Stocks Government Bond index
producing a negative total return of -14.5%. Over the same period, UK equities las measured by the FFSE
All Share Index) produced a return of +7.9% and overseas equities a return of +13.6%.
C￿er the year core portfolio produced a net return of +5.21% which was good relative to ihe peer
grwp (ARC Steady Growth PC Index) return of +2.9%, bui behind inflation (measured by UK CPI) which
rose strongly by +8% over the year. At the manager level. Investec produced a return of +6.0%. CCLA
+5.5% and Liontrust, our ethical manager 4.4% (all net of fees).
Long-term porrfolio performance remains strong, with a ten-year average return of +5.9% p.a. This is
ahead of the peer group (ARC Steady Growth PC Index) return of +4.7% p.a. however, the investment
committee note that given the recent very high levels of inflation, portfolio performance is now behind
the long-term objective of CPl+4%. That measure is +7.1% p.a. over the same period and looks likely to
remain a challenge for investment portfolios going forward.
We will be ccmmencing our usual fivtryearly review of investment managers during ihe next financial
year.
Investment Objertive
The development of an expendable endowment fund. providing susiainable and growing sUPPOrt for
local communities in the long term. is central to our grani making role.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
We aim to achieve an investment return which will attract new donors and meet endowment fund
development objeaives. Funher, the overall financial return of the investments will be consistent with
the risk tolerance and commercial prudence agreed by the Board of Trustees.
The Investmeni Objective relates to the expendable endowment funds managed by ECF only and not
Community First monies.
The Investment Objective is to:
Maintain the cumulative nominal value of the endowment fund over the medium term
The target return on investments Is CPI +4%
Reserves Pollcy

At 30 June 2023, the balance carried forward on unrestricted reserves was £482,330 (see note 191.
Unrestricted designated reserves comprise £42,098 for organisational development intended for our
CRM development work, £595.069 for property improvements to leasehold reserve and £342.563 for a
Programme Related Investment reserve. The aim of the Board of Trustees is to have at least six monihs of
the ne￿ yearfs operational expenditure budget as unrestricted reserves. Currently this would amount to
£500,000. The Board of Trustees continue to believethat reserves should be a prudent minimum, and that
the funds deployed in grantmaking should be maximised. To the extent that the carried forward
unrestricted reserves (excluding dilapidationsl slightly fall short of the target figure, the Trustees take
account of theirability to allocate from the endowed Acorn Fund to operational expenditure if there were
a severe and unexpected decline in the Foundaiion's financial posltion. The Trustees monitor ihe
Sltuation to ensure that the available reserves and Acorn Fund together providea sufficient reserve. The
Trustees remain confident that all the Foundation's financial obligations can be met.
Principal Rlsks and Uncertainiles
A regular review of the Foundation's risk frameworkiommenced in the year and will conclude next year.
Our current risk framework sets out our overall appetite for risk and drills down to include an appetite
Statemeni for each risk area. We adapted and implemented the National Council for Voluniary
Organisations INCVOs1 Risk Register, which includes a high4evel risk dashboard ihat categorises our risks

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting bychariiies.. Statemeni
of Recommended Practice applicable io charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Siatement of
Recommended Practice for Charities ISORP 201511Second Edition, effective l January 20191,the Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006.
The Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially
recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notelsl.
Preparation of Jccounts on a going concern basis
The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties aboui the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The review of ourfinancial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trusiees confidence the charity remains a
going concem for the foreseeablefuture.
Trustees thoroughly ￿vieWed the principal risks and uncertainties pertaining to the current economic climate and
the likely impact of the cost-of-living crisis and agreed that our current risk register sufficiently captured all known
risks and would be continually reviewed. Grant making cashflows are prepared and, as flowthrough funding is
received in advance, trustees are confident that our grant making ability will be unaffected. Trustees continue to
monitor our worL investments and needs of our communities. We are confident that we have the capacity and
resource to continue our development plans alongside delivery of ourdaY-tc￿aY work
The following principal accounting policies have been applied..
Income
Donations and legacies are accounted for when receivable by the Foundation. Revenue grant5 are credited to the
Statement of Financial Activities ISOFAI when the charity is considered to have entitlement to the assets, it is
probable that the resources will be received, and the mon￿ary value of income can be measured with sufficieni
reliability. If grants are related to a future donor-imposed period. the income is deferred until that period. Other
income is accounted for on an accruals basis as far as it is prudent to do so.
Expenditure
Liabilities are re(ognised as expenditureas soon as there is a legal or constructiveobligation committing thecharity
to the expenditure. Allexpenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable valueadded tax.
Grants payableare payments made to third parties in thefurtherance of the charity's objectives. Singleor muliFyear
grants are recognised as expenditu￿ when a grant commitment is made without condition. or when the condition
will not in practice allowthe charity to avoid the liability.
EKpenditure on raising funds
Comprisethose costs directly attributableto managing the investment portfolio togetherwith a proportion of other
costs attributable to the development of funds and publicity.
Expenditure on churitableacrivities
Includesthe value of grantsawarded bythe Foundation and both thedirectand managementcosts relating tothese
activities. Grants payable are recognised as expenditure and included in the SOFA when approved by the Trustees
and accepted by the beneficiarie5. The value of such grants unpaid at the year*nd is accrued. Grants where the
beneficiary has to meei certainconditions before the grant Is released are accrued asfinancial commitment& Where
a grant is to be paid by instalments. the outstanding balance is disclosed as a liability.
Grani costs include the administrative functions and have been allocated to acThvity cost categories on a basis
consistent with the use of resources.
24

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Costs that can be recognised as being wholly associaied with support activities are directly allocated. All other
iosts, including staffing costs, are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the time spent by each member of
staff.
Oiher employee benefit5
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the setvice is
received. Termination benefits areaccounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102.
Gifts in kind
The Foundaiion receives the benefit of work carried out byvolunteers. No account of this IS taken in the Statement
of Financial Activities. The Foundation receives ihe benefit of legal and payroll work given on a pro bono basis.
This work is included within Donations and gifts in the Statement of Financial Activities and is valued at the open
market value of the seNices provided (see note 241.
Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are included in the accounts over the period in which the cost is incurred.
Future obligations under operating leases are detailed in note 25 of these financial statements.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the Foundation benefits from Business Rates relief and is generally exempt from Income Tax
and Capital Gains TaL but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
Fin•nciJl In5trumenl$
The Foundation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instrument
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and Subsequently measured at their
settlement value.
Inveslmenls
Investments are stated in the balance sheet ai their market value. Realised gains and losses a￿ included in the
income and expenditure account. Investmeni income is recognised on the basis of the due date for payment.
Unrealised gains (see note 121 are included in the Statement of Financial Activitie5.
Programme Related investmenls
Programme Related investments relate to property work5 undertaken on the portion of the charitls new offices
which will be shared with othercharitable organisations. They are included at their cost value and amortised over
Ihe remaining term of the lease125 years). Thiswill be remewed annually in subsequeni years.
Tangible fixed assets and depreuation

rates in orderto write off each asset over its estimated useful life..

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Creditors •nd provision5
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event
that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can
be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised ai their settlement amount
after allowing for any trade diKounts due.
Pensions
The Foundaiion has a defined contribution pension scheme. The cost of contributions payable by the Foundation
to the scheme is charged to the income and expenditure account as incurred.
Fund •ccounting
Funds held by the Foundation are:
Unrestrictedfunds- these are funds that can be used in furtherance of the charitable objects at the discretion of the
Trusiees.
Restricted fvnds- these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the
Foundaiion. Restriuions arise when st*cified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted
purposes.
Endowment funds - represent those assets held in the long ierm by the charity, principally investments. In
accordance with the donors, wishes the capital is expendable for grant making at the discretion of the Trustees.
Income arising on endowmentfunds is included as restricted income, except in ihe case of ihe Acorn Fund, where
income can be used to meet the general objectives of the charity and is therefore included within unrestricted
income. Any capital gains or losses arising and the investment management charges and legal advice relating to
the fund are charged against the fund.
Transfers- between funds are at the discretion of the Trustees. The purpose is to allocate resources to particular
projects that are in accordance with the charitable objectives.
Critical a<counting judgemenls and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of theaccounting policies, Trustees are required to makejudgements estimates, and assumptions
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparentfrom oiher sources. The estimates and
undedying assumpiions are based on historical ex[￿rIenCe and other factors that are considered io be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions a￿ reviewed on an
ongoing basis.
In the view of ihe Trustees, the recognition of liabilities for futu￿ grant commiiment is an area of judgemeni
significant to the accounts as the timing of these payments is not always predictable, particularly for multkyear
grants. Accrued legacies are included only if probate has been granted and there is certainty of value and receipt.
The subsequent timing of these receipts however is noi always predictable and beyond our control. No other
assumpiions concerning the future or estimation of uncertainty affeciing assets or liabilities at the balance sheet
date are likely to result in a material adjustment io their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

The revenue fund represents the free funds of the charity that are not designated for particular purposes and
constituies part of the charity's unrestricred reserves.
Two designated reserve funds were established last year.. one for ihe property improvements to leasehold which
are being depreciated over the course of the 25-year lease and relocation costs which are being depreciated
over 4 or 10 years according to our policy, and the second for the value of the programme related investments
which are anticipated will be impaired over their useful life (currently estimated at 25 years) as the charity Is not
able to charge for the occupation or subletting of the space. FurKls are released annually from ihe reserves to
offset the amortisation costs of these assets.
The designated Acorn Fund represents the income from the Acorn endowed fund, which is an expendable
endowment fund. The aim of the fund is to build an endowed fund which is primarily used as a source of
grantmaking to improve the quality of life of people in Essex. Any expenditure is agreed by the Board of
Trustees and hitherto has been used to make granis, invest in the Foundation's growth or towards maintaining
the agreed level of reserves in the years when there has been an annual deficit.
The transfer of £261,545 represents the funding of grantmaking from the Acorn Fund. Full details of all transfers
between funds are in note l O.

this year. Two new designated reserve funds have been esiablished during the year.. one for ihe property
improvements to leasehold which will be depreciated over the course of the 25-year lease, and the second for the
value of the programme related investment which are anticipaied wvill be impaired over their useful life as the
charity is not able to charge for the occupation or sulFletting of the space.
The designated Acorn Fund represents the income from the Acorn endowed fund. which is an expendable
endowment fund. The aim of the fund is to build an endowed fund which is primarily used as a source of
grantmaking to improve ihe quality of life of people in Essex. Any expenditure is agreed by the Board of Trustees
and hitherto has been used to make grants, invest in the Foundation's growth or towards maintaining the agreed
level of reserves in the years when there has been an annual deficit.
The transfer of £82,006 represents the funding of grantmaking from the Acorn fund. The £450,000 property Costs
reserve was transferred to finance the relocation. The £128,675 Endowed match challenge was expended partly
on matching donations and the balance redesignated to the relocation. Two new reserve funds were established
within the year to finance the future impairment of property improvements. Details of all transfers are in note 10.
