FINANCIAL REVIEW Flnancial position Artes Mundi retained its status as a Portfol. regulatly fL*nded organisation in thè Investment Review. Following the inltial offer of our grant reconfirmèd 81 ils 2021-22 level - as with almost all our peers across Vvales - cuts were initiated by thè Wè15h governmènt passing on those received directly to the nation Irom the UK govemmenl. This resulted in a reduction of 2.5% to our core operating grant following a similar reduction sector wde th8 previous fiscal year. Similady. th8 financial pressures present a¢ross the cultural seclor also impacted local authoritle$ wrth the City and County of Cardiff Counal announong it was cutting all cultural support from 2024-25. As one of onty four vganisalions sbll in receipt of fiFnds, this further reduced the core support lor Artes Mundi. The current silu81ion is one of pressure and increased competition for funds fmm external sources and is keenly felt auoss the UK for 811 ¢uMural oryani5ations. Artes Mundi has a cyde of adivity that inevitably creates a surplus in years when the most expensive activity is being planned rather than delThiered. Durin9 2023-24 Artes Mundi continued rts progr8mme5 of public engagement as groundwoik and new practice alongside preparing fof the Artes Mundi 10 exhibKion, whid) opened in October 2023. At £621.566 the charity's overall income was £36,278 less than Ihe inrtial target of £657.844. Expendtture in the year was £729,928. or £41,831 more than the initi81 budgel of £688,097.

This was the last year of support from the County and City of Cardrfl. From publi¢ support in 202&24, we secured funds from Welsh govemment Major Events Unil, National LotterylACW'Creale' public programme for AM10. the Heritsge Lottery Fund for the community programme of AM10 and from ACW foi the 'Per5pectivelsl' programme. We also received a oneff cost of INin9 award from ACW, a sector wide offer. Artes Mundi received a contsnuing grant under a fijnding agreement with the Bagri Foundation for the Artes Mundi 10 exhibition and prize along with other significant support from the Colwinston Charitable Trust, the Foyle Foundation.

Some additional support is develoFed thro¢Jgh bcy)k sales. don8tions, investment fevenue and earned incorne. The new business model established Sin the ACW Resilience Programme, places a stronger emphasis on the importance of promoting 8C¢eS8 and Part1patiOft as a core mission, giving u3 the opportunity to think 89ain about our case for support. Our continuin9 focu5 cm fundraising for the future in p8rt aligns with recommendaii'ons comtnissioned by Counter CultL•re. Action upon fundraising inrtialives has tangibly borne Iwit as evidenced by the mults".y6ar 511PPQrt secLred from the Bagri Foundation for AM10 and AM11 with aft inlere$l In continuing in some fom beyond, plu$ an expansion of idetthing sourees from overseas pertinent to the awtists we work wth on surLessNe 'ennIal oxhibilions. Financial rysks The prinupal finanrAal risk faong Artes Mundi is the possibility thal it wll not raise 3uffKienl funds to carry ojt its a¢tNity plans. Artes Mundi employs a dedicated Head of Development supported by the Director. The Board of Trustees gularfy reviews the charitys fundraising plans and athievements and authorisès m8jor expenditu only when it is nfidenl that the necessary funds will be avai18ble. The Iruslees also recognise that the ¢urwnt ptsllcy of ausferity as evidenced by ACW and C8rdift loral authority cuts. plus cost of livin9 and energy crises will undoubtedly affect public spending and range, depth and type of support available. meaniftg that f¥venue funding is unlikely to be incrèased subslanlialty in real terns and may w811 decrease in the f(rture. In addib.on lo exploring the possibility of accessing new fijnding streams assisted by the Fundraising Slrale9y developed thiough support from ACW Resilience Piogramme, this has also inVoed plans to reduea, whore possible, the charivs expendituro. Stafflng Artes Mundi's ¢ore team numbers six employees. The Director and Curalor were employed on & full-time basis, the Deputy DirectorlHea¢J of Development, Curator of Public Programmes, Marketing & Communications OffIr and Operations Administrator were all employed for three or four days per week. These permanent roles were supplernenled by three Assistant Curators. a team of seven Engagement Pioducèrs and An Artist Support Manager to coordiTrate and delNer varK)us asp¢(ts of programming in 202&24. Reserves pollcy The Injstees recognise that rtr$erves are needed to cover timing drfferences between inc(e and expendiujre, to sustsin operab'ons rf anticipated funding is delayed or reduced and to provide for unfoveseen costs. The trustees believe that the ideal level of reservos for Arte5 Mundi would be sufficient to cover four months. core njnning costs and lo provide confidence that any proj8¢t to which Ihe charity is committe(I can b¢ ¢arried through lo a satisfactory condusion. On this basis. the tiustees believe that Ihe ideal level for free reserves on 31 March 2024 falls within the range of £70,000 to £90.000. At £84.896 the chariV$ unrestricted free reserves are within thls rnnge. In 8dditlon. core fvnding agreements 8nd grants that will generate substantial incorne in 2024-25 are already in place.
