REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report and audited financial statements of Prism the Gift Fund (referred to in this report as ‘‘Prism’’, ‘‘the Charity’’, ‘‘the Company’’, ‘‘the charitable company’’, and ‘‘the group’’) for the year ended 30 June 2023. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019.
STRATEGIC REPORT
PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES
The objects for which the Charity is established are such charitable purposes as the Trustees (as defined in the articles of association of the Company) shall from time to time determine.
Prism's mission and aim is to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector. This is achieved by administering the giving of individuals, groups and foundations swiftly, personally and efficiently, and in a manner beneficial to the recipients. Prism approaches this in two core ways (further information below).
— Providing Donor Advised Fund (DAF) services to High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals and families who channel their national and international philanthropy through Prism as a time, cost, and tax effective alternative to setting up one's own grant making foundation.
— Providing Collective Fund services — charitable, finance and governance infrastructure to groups who want to create brands or projects of a charitable nature. Prism lends its charitable expertise as well as its charity number, administration and due diligence services to these groups.
Structurally, Prism is one charity with multiple restricted funds that rely on operational partnerships with individual founders of either DAFs or Collective Funds.
The gap in funding in the charitable sector continues to grow as a result of global disasters, government funding cuts, the ongoing effects of Brexit and the cost of living crisis.
It is increasingly incumbent on major donors to continue to give and those that have not begun their philanthropic journey, to consider giving.
PRISM’S ACTIVITIES ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In 2022, the Emergency Event Database (EM-DAT) recorded 387 natural hazards and disasters worldwide, resulting in the loss of 30,704 lives and affecting 185 million individuals. Economic losses totalled around US $223.8 billion. Heat waves caused over 16,000 excess deaths in Europe, while droughts affected 88.9 million people in Africa. Hurricane Ian single-handedly caused damage costing US $100 billion in the Americas. The human and economic impact of disasters was relatively higher in Africa, with 16.4 % of the share of deaths compared to 3.8 % in the previous two decades. It was
3
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
relatively lower in Asia despite Asia experiencing some of the most destructive disasters in 2022. As well as the impact of natural disasters, we also saw the continued impact of the war in Ukraine as well as the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Sudan amongst others.
At home, the UK had three prime ministers in just two months, the pound fell to a record low against the dollar, and inflation hit a 41-year high.
All of these challenges impact the charitable sector putting pressure on charities that face increased costs, government cuts and lost donors. This is where Prism’s market and client base of HNW donors is critical. Prism increasingly plays a crucial role in building a pipeline of new major donors to give and those that are already giving to give more.
Prism’s key strategic objectives remain firmly driven by our mission to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector addressing the significant funding deficit that charities face as well as the need for philanthropy to step in as we see increasing global crisis.
Prism measures its’ success through a number of indicators. These include: income per year, distribution of funds out and growth of knowledge and awareness of the power of DAFs as a philanthropic tool.
Prism’s growth continued through to year ended 30 June 2023 with voluntary income in the year, including investment income and fees reaching £115,257,409 (2022 restated - £115,816,519). This is a result of continued increase in clients in both the Donor Advised Fund and Collective Fund operations. Prism has continued to offer a resilient, highly responsive and efficient operation.
Over the last financial period, Prism’s growth and the number of referrals from both the private client industry and donors themselves, illustrates the Trustees’ view that the mission of the Charity is something which is both necessary and welcomed by the donor community within the UK. Prism also provides administrative services to charitable grant making foundations. Prism helps support their back-office operation, prepares board papers, undertakes financial administration, administers grants and helps ensure the efficient and swift distribution of funds out into the charitable sector.
Prism’s expenditure for the last financial year was £68,723,603 (2022 restated - £58,048,489). In the period 2022/2023 Prism distributed £65,907,871 of funds across our charitable activities including grants to hundreds of organisations across 60 locations globally, showcasing a steady growth in funds out to the sector.
A portion of the donations received by Prism are assets, generally a portfolio of shares. The portfolios of cash and shares are managed by independent investment advisors, who are suggested by the donors. The portfolios are reviewed by the Finance and Investment Committee of the Board of Prism and agreed. These assets are held for a period, until such time when the donors consider it necessary to liquidate the assets to make payments to their designated causes.
In addition to these restricted funds, Prism educates the professional advisory community in understanding the philanthropy landscape in the hope that the HNW individuals and families that they service will be encouraged to engage in the sector. Several of these presentations and sessions have taken place over the past financial period and, as a result, private client practitioners have
4
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
increased their referral level and underlying dialogue with Prism around philanthropy. Most of these, were all face to face in offices with the added advantage of other regions in the country being able to participate by Zoom.

Prism also runs a broader public engagement events programme in order to facilitate dialogue amongst stakeholders and introduce new ideas around philanthropy to Prism's wider network.
In December 2022, Prism co-hosted with The Fore, Lord Jim O’Neil who spoke about his business and philanthropic journey. We were joined by 100 guests, a mixture of private client intermediaries and donors in the majestic setting of 2 Temple Place. We thank The Fore for working with Prism to enable this event.
In May 2023, Prism held an event at Rathbone Greenbank entitled The Power of Philanthropy to Impact Climate Change. Chaired by Sir Tim Smit, the founder of the Eden Project, panellists included some of the incredible Collective Funds operating under the auspices of Prism:
ClimateForce UK – ClimateForce exists to regenerate and reforest agricultural land in a lowland rainforest ecosystem. Prism’s Collective Fund, ClimateForce UK Charitable Fund, supports a pilot project of ClimateForce in Australia – Tropical Regen – which involves collecting and cultivating native trees, planting them, and maintaining them as they grow. Reforestation is a popular form of sequestration, the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and an effective strategy for reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. With a mission to plant 360,000 trees over 526 acres in the world’s oldest rainforest Daintree, in Far North Queensland, ClimateForce is taking a pivotal step towards protecting endemic biodiversity, reducing our carbon footprint, and ensuring a more sustainable future.
The Degrees Initiative (TDI) – TDI plays a central role in geoengineering research to transform Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and is funded by The Degrees Collective Fund at Prism. Broadly, SRM is a theoretical approach toward reducing the impacts of climate change through the reflection of sunlight back out into space – SRM remains the only known way to quickly stop, or reverse, the rise in global temperatures. To date, TDI has partnered with a wide range of environment and development NGO and civil society organisations across the world to expand the discussion of SRM’s potential risks, benefits, science and governance.

First Light Fusion (FLF) – FLF is part of Oxford Science Enterprises, an independent, billion-pound investment company created in 2015 to found, fund and build transformational businesses via their unique partnership with the University of Oxford.
Overall, Prism is incredibly proud to be a convener for philanthropists and private client advisers, creating a space for open discussion and sharing of ideas around philanthropy. Prism’s mission is to increase the flow of funds into the sector. Prism will continue to promote these meaningful conversations and act as an educator across the private client sector, to encourage dialogue around philanthropy in the hopes that more will start their journey and do so with an effective structure, a Donor Advised Fund and the right expertise.

Prism continues to excel around its due diligence and compliance work. The nature of the Prism model — being a DAF — means that donors have the ability to suggest where they may onward gift. Prism carries out due diligence on all charities it gifts to and ensures the appropriate reporting is received too. But each donor has very different interests, and so Prism gifts to a broad collection of charities. As the regulatory backdrop has tightened, so Prism has responded accordingly with appropriate policies in place. Prism’s applications both around prospective clients coming into Prism and for gifts out to overseas entities have further been developed with more questions, and more rigour to ensure Prism has detailed and full oversight on use of funds.
IMPACT THROUGH GRANTMAKING
Prism’s primary objective as a charity is to facilitate charitable distributions in a compliant and impactful manner. In accordance with its mission to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector, Prism is guided by its donors who make recommendations on the distribution of charitable funds. The charity’s role is to ensure all grant funds are applied in line with the regulatory requirements and best practices governing charitable giving.
Through its Donor Advised Fund and Collective Fund administrative services, Prism enables individuals, families, groups and organisations to maximise the impact of their giving and contribute effectively to the causes they care about most. Embracing a donor-centric approach to grant making, Prism cultivates a culture of giving that is inclusive, responsive and reflective of the diverse needs and priorities within the philanthropic community.
Prism categorises its charitable grants into ten main impact areas distributed globally. These are a combination of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), UK charitable objectives according to UK law (CO), and humanitarian actions during natural disasters and manmade crises. Organising our impact into these distinct areas helps us assess the effectiveness of our charitable distributions, showcasing the breadth of giving models which Prism offers.
Furthermore, Prism’s niche Collective Fund model, widely supported by donors and experts in the philanthropy field, has enabled groups of individuals and organisations to raise funds efficiently and give to charities globally. The range of programmes that our Collective Funds have supported, over the past year, varies greatly among the impact areas, including emergency grants in response to the earthquakes in Turkey, humanitarian aid in refugee crises as well as programmes promoting environmental protection, medical research and access to education.
Note - a list of the Collective Funds that operated as a restricted fund under the auspices of Prism the Gift Fund between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023 can be found in note 17 to the accounts. The total amount of funds raised via the Collective Funds during this period was £29,097,352. As can be seen from the summary of their activity, these groups vary from humanitarian work particularly focused on the current refugee crisis in Europe, to providing support to overseas charities, to groups raising funds in memory of a family member.
During the past year, Prism was able to provide funding and support to a wide spectrum of charitable initiatives spanning various sectors and geographies. We are highlighting below some of this work across eight impact areas:

PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
Humanitarian Aid
In March and June 2023, Prism granted a total of $475,000 to the Turkish registered non-profit organisation, Independent Doctors Association (IDA), for its emergency response to the earthquakes that occurred in Turkey on February 6, 2023. IDA is an independent non-governmental organisation that provides humanitarian assistance to those affected by conflicts, natural disasters and epidemics. It was founded in response to the healthcare and humanitarian crisis in Syria. Prism’s funds covered key staff costs necessary for running a primary health centre and physiotherapy centre in Kilis, Turkey, and surrounding areas. The grant also contributed to the purchase and provision of medical consumables such as orthopaedic equipment and intensive care unit (ICU) medical kits, along with other essential items, including blankets, tents and the purchase of a vehicle for the organisation's mobile medical assistance and vital support offered to staff affected by the natural disaster between February and July 2023. As a result, between March and August 2023, IDA’s physiotherapy centre received 869 beneficiaries and provided 1,366 services. Its primary healthcare centre provided 4,557 consultations for general medical support, including paediatric services, vaccinations, reproductive health services, antenatal care, family planning and key examinations for respiratory diseases, tract infections, skin diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and other communicable and non-communicable diseases.
In April 2023, Prism made a grant of $370,000 to the Turkish registered non-profit organisation, Hurras Network (Hurras), for its response to the earthquakes in Turkey and the resulting flooding that struck the same region in March 2023. Focusing on child protection since its inception in 2013, Hurras has become a leading advocate for the protection of Syrian children affected by conflict in the region. Following Hurras’ safety assessment and light refurbishment of 89 schools in affected areas near southeast Turkey, Prism’s grant supported Hurras’ Individual Protection Assistance (IPA) programme, offering recreational and well-being activities, including psychosocial support and case management to children and families impacted by the earthquake. Prism’s grant contributed to Hurras’ core personnel, operational and programme costs from March to August 2023, covering staff salaries, travel and subsistence, as well as support for teachers, a child protection specialist and associated administration. Prism has supported a total of 978 education personnel and reached 15,651 children through its child-friendly spaces across 100 different schools in the region.
End Poverty and Hunger
Throughout the year, Prism granted a total of £315,000 to the National Zakat Foundation (NZF), a UK registered charity that enables Muslims to give Zakat (religious obligation for Muslims who meet the relevant criteria to donate a portion of their wealth to charitable causes) and help unlock the potential of those held back by their financial circumstances in the UK. Muslims in need of Zakat can apply to the organisation’s four funds: Hardship Relief, Housing, Work and Education. Prism’s grant funds were distributed directly as part of NZF’s Hardship Relief fund, helping 890 individuals in need receive support for basic living expenses, including food, clothing and other essential items. Additionally, a portion of Prism’s commitment covered housing grants for 510 beneficiary families in the UK, providing vital support for safe and affordable accommodation. Despite financial uncertainty throughout 2022 and 2023, NZF, through its impactful programmes, freed Muslims from immediate financial distress, offered support for future financial circumstances, and assisted in ensuring individuals felt supported and cared for in their community.

Good Health and Well-Being
In September 2022, Prism made a donation of £250,000 to the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS). Established to provide world-class education, assessment and development to 30,000 surgeons, dental professionals and members of the wider surgical and dental teams, RCS’s mission is to provide excellent surgical care for everyone by setting professional standards, facilitating research, and championing the best outcomes for patients. A significant contribution from this donation to RCS has supported grant awards for a one-year surgical research fellowship scheme, which has become a prestigious symbol of excellence in surgical research, allowing practicing surgeons protected time away from clinical duties to focus on their proposed projects researching areas as diverse as bariatric surgery, the pathology of hearing loss, digital and robotic surgery and breast cancer. Particular attention is being paid to the development and research into robotics and digital learning and training within RCS. As a result of Prism’s funding, RCS will also enable a series of grants that will catalyse new and innovative research into robotic surgery. The awards will help consultant surgeons and trainees engage in key new research activities that will accelerate the development of robotics and digital surgery for the benefit of improved patient care, and assist surgeons’ involvement in a critical new area of research at a key time in their research careers.
Education
During the year, Prism granted a total of £336,000 to SHINE, an education charity working with teachers, schools and other organisations to help disadvantaged children in the North of England fulfil their true potential. SHINE’s mission is to sever the link between deprivation and educational success, ensuring that the prospects of children and young people are not impeded by any sort of disadvantaged background. By supporting teachers and working alongside them to develop new projects for children and young people, a higher quality of education and experience can be delivered to students. Prism’s grants helped the charity fund projects in Maths, Literacy, and Science, as well as cross-curricular programmes in other subject areas, contributing directly to the 29,163 children its programmes have supported both in the classroom and online. The charity’s focus is on boosting qualifications in the core academic subjects to unlock the greatest choice for children in their future lives. In 2022/23, SHINE supported innovative work at some of the most important stages in a child’s educational journey: in the early years, as children get ready for school and in the crucial period when they make the switch from primary to secondary school. The charity’s projects on these critical phases have reported excellent results among children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Gender Equality and Human Rights
During the year, Prism donated a total of £54,000 to Trevi Women Ltd (Trevi), a nationally awardwinning UK charity that supports women in rehabilitation and recovery from substance misuse, with children in their care. Established in 1993, Trevi offers good quality, psychologically informed, genderbased interventions, as well as holistic care to women and children in Southeast England. Prism’s grants provided unrestricted funding to cover the charity’s overheads and running costs, in two grants of £4,000 and £50,000 across December 2022 and May 2023 respectively. Trevi offers a range of services across its three Centres: Jasmine Mother’s Recovery Centre, which is dedicated to mothers working through addiction, Sunflower Centre, which offers holistic therapeutic services for women dealing with trauma and abuse, and Daffodil Family Centre, which provides assessments for families to ensure parents and children are appropriately supported. The grants from Prism enabled the organisation to continue with the running of its day-to-day activities and focus on fundraising for the
9
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
purchase and renovation of another centre, Blossom House, a safe, trauma-informed women-only accommodation based in the centre of Plymouth.
Environment and Animal Welfare
Between September 2022 and June 2023, Prism made five donations totalling £247,067 to the Australian non-profit organisation, ClimateForce Limited (ClimateForce). Founded in 2018, ClimateForce is seeking to revive rainforests in Far North Queensland, Australia. The organisation’s three main areas of impact are to develop self-sustaining biodiverse reforestation, promote climate technology through the creation of a biodiversity app tracking the organisation’s Seed-to-Canopy journey, and encourage rural development through the creation of 1000 sq. km of nature corridors in Australia. Prism’s grant supported ClimateForce’s Tropical Regen Project, aiming to regenerate 527 acres of the Daintree, the world’s oldest rainforest, located in North Queensland, involving the planting of 360,000 trees. The project is an innovative proof-of-concept for nature-positive rainforest regeneration, driving complementary outcomes for soil, water, flora and fauna. Furthermore, Prism’s grants have helped ClimateForce purchase a drone for land surveying purposes, research equipment such as technological and solar equipment, office space, a land cruiser vehicle for farm work, as well as covering staff costs, enabling the organisation to maintain its land and conduct vital environmental research.
Throughout the year, Prism donated £130,000 to Blue Marine Foundation , a charity registered in the UK. Set up in 2010 to combat the destruction of biodiversity and overfishing, and to restore ocean health, the charity achieves its mission through the creation of large-scale marine reserves and the delivery of new models of sustainable fishing. Prism’s donation contributed to Blue Marine Foundation’s work in Turkey, with funded areas including the Gökova marine protected area and ‘The Sea We Breathe’ educational programme. In the Gökova Marine Protected Area (MPA), the organisation’s team have noticed a significant increase in the fish biomass since the MPA was established, particularly in carnivores and apex predators, both of which are very vulnerable to fishing activities. This research, conducted with local partner, Mediterranean Conservation Society (MCS), found that at Boncuk-Karaca the total fish biomass is almost six times greater than outside the MPA, and that within the zone, invasive species damage was also reduced. ‘The Sea We Breathe’ is a Turkish language education resource, aiming to deepen engagement with local tourism stakeholders and to bolster community efforts with protection schemes. This has two-fold benefits for both the marine environment and the local socio-economic climate.
Between July 2022 and June 2023, Prism made four grants totalling £800,000 to The Degrees Initiative , a newly founded UK registered charity. Prism, through its effective collective fund model, helped incubate The Degrees Initiative, while the founders of the organisation were finalising the setup arrangements for the charity, which was successfully launched in early 2023. The Degrees Initiative has been established to build the capacity of Global South countries to evaluate solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering and to play a central role in SRM conversations and research. The charity’s main activities include providing research grants to Global South academic institutions and hosting and facilitating engagement workshops for researchers in the field, in partnership with leading local organisations, including universities, NGOs, science academies and research institutes. The donations from Prism were used to fund core functions and programmatic activities of The Degrees Initiative, contributing to their overall mission of putting low-income nations at the centre of the SRM conversation.

Justice and Community Development
Throughout the year, Prism donated a total of £189,160 to Global Generation , an educational UK registered charity. Founded in 2004, Global Generation works together with local children and young people, businesses, residents and families in Camden, Islington and Southwark to create healthy, diverse and environmentally responsible communities. The charity’s mission is to showcase how disused urban spaces can become an oasis for plants and people to grow by enhancing the ecosystem and adopting circular economy approaches. Prism’s funding significantly impacted the charity’s work in the Story Garden, a green space in Somers Town facing high deprivation and low development rates. In 2022, 6,000 local residents, children, families and young people took part in a range of programmes within the Story Garden. The grants facilitated diverse activities, including drop-in sessions, volunteering opportunities, after-school clubs, summer camps and family feasts, benefitting hundreds of participants and addressing immediate food needs through the donation of 250 kilograms of produce to the Camden Mobile Food Bank. Beyond gardening, the Story Garden has also served as a vital community space, fostering connections among residents of different backgrounds. As a result of this funding, the Story Garden has offered opportunities for young people and residents to become involved in shaping the local landscape and find a sense of purpose.
Art & Cultural Heritage
In November 2022, Prism awarded a grant of £100,000 to Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB), one of the world’s leading ballet touring companies noted for its repertoire of classic ballet and contemporary dance. Birmingham Royal Ballet consistently performs at Birmingham Hippodrome for approximately ten weeks of the year, and the remainder of the year tours throughout the UK and overseas. On average, the Company performs 100 shows a year nationally and internationally. Prism’s donation supported the delivery of renowned dancer and director Carlos Acosta’s vision to stage spectacular classical and contemporary work, engage in talent identification and training, and deliver impactful participation programmes. Funding from Prism has also been used to enable BRB2, the junior company of BRB, to act as a training pipeline for the next generation of exceptional ballet dancers. With the aim of attracting the best UK and international young talent, providing extensive training and professional experience, the programme also enabled sending developed, professional dancers back into the dance sector, and providing role models for the next generation. The inaugural tour of BRB2 around the UK showcased a programme including classical highlights to positive reviews by critics across the country. Alongside challenging the dancers, the tour attracted new audiences due to the programme’s diverse content and interest in the UK’s first junior ballet company, placing it among similar major companies worldwide.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Prism maintains a comprehensive and up-to-date risk register, a risk management tool acting as a repository for all risks identified and including vital information about each risk, e.g. nature of the risk, monitoring procedure, and prevention, mitigation and control measures. This tool helps Prism’s trustees to identify and assess the risks for Prism, evaluate actions that need to be taken in order to mitigate risks, and also serves as a monitoring and assessment mechanism. Prism’s Head of Compliance is maintaining and monitoring, on a regular basis, the risk register, alongside the charity’s trustees and senior management team.

FUTURE PLANS
Prism hopes to maintain and further build on the developments made in 2022-2023. However, we are cognisant of the continuing challenges raised by Cost of Living Crises to the charitable sector and to donors, and so it remains unclear as to the year ahead in terms of donation income. Prism plans to hire a Deputy CEO to support the CEO in the development and growth of Prism. The Head of
12
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
Finance is also hiring further employees of the finance team to ensure the finance operation is well supported. Further research has been conducted looking at next stage CRM systems to help prepare Prism for the future and strategic growth.
The continued high level of donations received to Prism has led to the Charity increasing the number of investments in order to get a greater return on its funds and therefore increase the amount available to distribute over time to other charities. The Trustees continue to look to diversify the assets accepted into the Charity which will increase its ability to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Donor Advised Fund
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a restricted fund within a wider charitable structure which is contributed to by an individual or family. Prism operates DAFs as a time, cost and tax effective way to engage in higher level giving without needing to set up one's own grant making charity. The contributors to this restricted DAF are able to make suggestions on the following aspects of the use of the restricted fund: Contribution type to the fund (cash, shares, property, art, cryptocurrencies) The name of the restricted fund e.g. "The Smith Family Foundation"; asset management of the fund; recipients of disbursements from the fund worldwide; whether those disbursements are made anonymously or in the name of the restricted fund. The contributors to the fund cannot enact their philanthropy fully autonomously or without the knowledge of Prism. Prism provides a financial administration service to this restricted fund. An example of a DAF client profile, activity level, and interaction with Prism is as follows:

A donor wishes to make a cash gift of £2,000,000 to Prism which is eligible for Gift Aid. If accepted and claimed from HMRC, the donor's DAF account at Prism will contain £2,500,000.
-
The donor would like to make a similar sized gift into Prism annually for the next 5 years.
-
The donor envisages commitments to charities in the UK and overseas totalling £1,000,000 each year, and therefore there will be a significant surplus of funds, creating a sub fund, within the restricted fund.
-
On this basis, the donor has identified two discretionary funds where the balance of funds would ideally be invested should it be possible and with the agreement of the investment committee.
- Process
-
Prism assesses the wishes of the donor both for the short and long term, including full due diligence of the suggested investments the donor has identified.
-
If acceptable, a restricted fund is created (as well as a contract with the donor concerned detailing scope of how Prism and the donor will interact) in the name of the donor.

-
Relevant tax reliefs are applied for upon completion of appropriate paperwork by the donor.
-
Prism provides the donor with a relationship manager who will act as a key contact, and receive email or phone call requests for disbursements or actions around the restricted funds.
-
Upon receipt of a request, the relevant due diligence will be carried out to satisfy Prism and the Trustees that the recipient is bona fide. The donor receives quarterly and annual summaries including investment reports on the discretionary funds to act as a clear summary of their giving.
-
Prism provides a summary to the donor of contributions to the restricted fund to be used on any tax returns as applicable.
Collective Fund
A Collective Fund is a restricted fund within a wider charitable structure which is set up for specific purposes. It is often named and branded and has a public profile, raising funds from the public. Prism operates Collective Funds for those who want to fundraise in memory of someone, around a particular issue, or as a British Friends of. All funds raised are disbursed to other charitable organisations or in the fulfilment of projects that match the purposes of the Collective Fund, provided that they fit the criteria under UK Charitable Law. Prism liaises with 'Founders' of the Collective Funds who offer suggestions around the recipients of the fund. Collective Funds benefit from the following by creating a restricted fund within Prism :
-
Full financial administration of inflows to and outgoings from their fund.
-
Existing frameworks for the assessment of partners or recipients of funding.
-
A reliable and established structure to show accountability of their work to funders.
-
Governance and operational frameworks (as many Founders do not have experience in the charitable sector).
-
The ability to raise funds tax effectively from the public into a recognised registered entity without the time and cost of setting up a charitable structure of their own.
-
The Founders are accountable to Prism in all their activities, and Prism has full control of all financial flows. An example of a Collective Fund in terms of profile and process of interaction with Prism is as follows:
- Profile
-
Two potential Founders of a fund have set up a project which seeks to educate and train refugees currently in the UK and in Greece to increase their employability at the same time they are having their asylum claims processed.
-
The Founders have recruited qualified teachers to provide the training but they do not have the personal capital to fund this in perpetuity.
14
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
-
The Founders have contacted some existing charities who work in similar areas and the local authority, but they are unable to incorporate the programme into their current service provisions so they would like to set up their own organisation.
-
The Founders would like to fundraise through a registered charity in order to benefit from Gift Aid, and also to have the project monitored by a regulated charitable entity going forward.
- Process
-
Prism sends an assessment questionnaire to the Founders in order to understand their aims, objectives, plans for the project and outcomes. This is then assessed by a Committee to ascertain charitable purpose, any implementation issues the Founders may face, and whether the project is appropriate to be housed within a charitable structure.
-
A restricted fund is set up within Prism to raise funds for the project, and an online fundraising presence is created to increase the means by which the public can engage with the project.
-
Funds are raised into the restricted pot.
-
Requests for relevant project expenses and general costs are submitted by the Founders on behalf of project partners. These are assessed by Prism for their suitability and remitted where applicable.
-
Where the Founders would like to work in partnership with another organisation, Prism's due diligence tests must first be passed, including a full look at the finances and governance.
-
Records are kept by Prism that can be summarised and presented to potential funders for their restricted fund.
FUNDRAISING REGULATIONS
Prism’s main offering, the Donor Advised Fund (DAF) receives donations from HNW individuals. These are all personal relationships and referred by clients or private client intermediaries.
A smaller proportion of Prism’s income comes from the Collective Fund model, and most donations are received through the online charity platform Just Giving. A smaller number of the Collective Fund groups also raise funds either by making applications to grant making trusts or by running fundraising events.
Prism has a robust fundraising policy, which states that the founders of the Collective Funds or any other individuals fundraising on their behalf are required to adhere to Prism’s regulations and industry guidelines. The founders make sure that any staff members and volunteers engaging with fundraising are appropriately trained to adhere to all applicable laws and guidelines, as clearly stated in Prism’s policy. The founders ensure that all their staff and volunteers receive detailed training in fundraising and are properly supervised while carrying out fundraising at charitable events.
During the year, Prism received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities carried out either by Collective Fund founders or their staff and volunteers. Prism also has a privacy policy in place shared with and applied to all its Collective Funds to ensure protection of donor data and compliance
15
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
with the applicable laws. As per the said policy, our collective funds do not share any of their donor data with other charities or companies.
Duty to promote the success of the Charity – Section 172 Statement
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires the Trustees of Prism to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the charity to achieve its charitable purposes.
In doing so, Trustees must have regard (amongst other matters) to:
-
The likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
-
The interests of the company's employees;
-
The need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
-
The impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment;
-
The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
-
The need to act fairly as between members of the company.
Section 172 considerations are embedded into the fabric of Prism’s structures and decision making throughout the Charity’s leadership, from the board to senior leadership and beyond.
The day to day management decisions are delegated to the Senior Leadership and charity team. The board have strategic oversight of all key decisions through quarterly meetings, relevant sub committees, review of key policies and processes as well as oversight of onboarding of new clients and key investment decisions.
Prism is able to achieve its strategic objectives by considering its’ key stakeholders, including staff, donors, intermediaries and grantees in our decision making framework. The table below outlines how section 172 considerations are met across our key stakeholder groups:
| **Stakeholder Group ** | Key considerations | How we engage |

| Collective Fund Founders |
As above the Trustees imperative is to drive forward Prism’s mission as well as ensure that our creative and donor focused approach to philanthropy is at the heart of what we do. Prism's Collective Fund model is a unique offering aimed at individuals and groups who are raising funds for a specific issue area. It was created in response to a need in the sector to have a mechanism to fundraise swiftly and tax effectively and respond to immediate need. Our trustees continue to work to take on complex and much needed projects that address real needs across communities globally. Deliver a bespoke efficient and swift service to support founders in their mission. |
Each collective fund receives its’ own relationship manager. All Collective Fund needs from back end administration, finance and grant making and compliance is managed by Prism so the founders can focus on their mission. Prism provides a holistic due diligence and governance infrastructure to ensure all its collective funds comply with charitable guidelines and applicable laws. This includes Prism’s suite of organisational policies on: safeguarding, whistleblowing, data protection, conflict of interests, financial management processes, as well as very strict and clear guidelines around compliance and financial controls. As part of Prism’s onboarding process for Collective Fund founders, Prism dedicates significant time to educate the founders, explaining Prism’s systems and processes in terms of the related protocols around the disbursement of funds, safeguarding and other compliance requirements on reporting and monitoring use of funds. |
| Staff | Our team are essential to the organisations ability to deliver its mission and drive our values. Strategic Board level decisions take into account the impact of key decisions on staff. |

We have clear criteria, forms and reporting requirements of all our grantees. We work with grantees to ensure that our requirements are appropriate to the size, scale and complexity of the grant. |
As Prism works with a range of organisations, including small charities and not for profits, the Charity takes time to educate them around the requirements of UK charity law and ensure they understand and act in compliance with the relevant guidelines taking special care to ensure that funds disbursed by Prism are spent for purely charitable purposes only. Prism applies a multi-layered due diligence procedure which allows us to properly review and assess organisations and be satisfied they are an appropriate partner to work with before funding is released. Prism assesses an organisation's structure and governance including details on its senior management team and trustees, its financial and risk management processes, its safeguarding policy and systems, as well as its operational capacity. Prism monitors all its grants through communication with the grantee entities and also by asking for regular and detailed reporting,explaining |

Public Benefit
The Trustees have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 and have paid due regard to public benefit when preparing this report.
Providing opportunities for charitable giving has a direct benefit to the wider public and the community in general. There are no unreasonable restrictions which would prevent any recipients from benefiting from Prism's services. The benefit provided to the public is consistent with the charitable aims of Prism and is in due regard to the Charity Commission guidelines.
Prism supports a range of charities in the UK and overseas. As it evaluates grants, Prism assesses the impact of each of the recipient organisations and ensures they have a broad impact and reach many constituents of their target market.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
CONSTITUTION
Prism is a Charity (registered number 1099682) and a company limited by guarantee with no share capital (registered number 04677253). The governing document is the Articles of Association.
20
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
The objects for which the Charity is established is to encourage donors to give funds to charity in an efficient, swift and personal manner, beneficial to the recipients.
Under the Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to invest the monies of the Company not immediately required for its purpose in such investments as the Trustees consider appropriate, subject to any conditions or consents imposed by law.
Prism the Gift Fund created The Prism Charitable Trust, a Special Trust under Prism the Gift Fund. Any assets sitting in this trust will be protected as they are held on particular trust, rather than as part of Prism the Gift Fund’s corporate property. The corporate trustee is Prism the Gift Fund. This was a structure suggested by Prism’s lawyers to help protect the assets of Prism as the Charity grew.
Prism has created separate bank accounts and contracts for the two operations so that the money flow into Prism the Gift Fund and The Prism Charitable Trust are separate.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees, who are also members of the Company, are required to conduct the affairs and the general business of Prism and meets quarterly. The Articles of Association provide that onethird of the Trustees must retire at each Annual General meeting. Persons being appointed or reappointed must be recommended to the Board or proposed by a company member not less than 14 or more than 35 days before the date of a general meeting, together with a notice of willingness to be appointed or re-appointed signed by the proposed Trustee.
The Board currently stands as follows:
-
Mr. A Ahmed MBE (resigned 01 November 2022)
-
Mr. A Collard (appointed 01 September 2022)
-
Mr. J Libson (resigned 31 December 2023)
-
Ms. P Lovell
-
Mr. C Mesquita
-
Mr. M Ridley (resigned 30 November 2023)
-

Ms. J Winston (resigned 01 November 2022)
-
Mr. J Gold
-
Ms. S Clare (appointed 08 December 2022)
-
Mr. J Simmons (appointed 20 July 2023)
All of the above served during the whole year or from the date of appointment, or till their date of resignation.
New members of the Board are co-opted by existing Trustees to maintain or augment the range of skills and experience appropriate to the needs and activities of the Charity and subsequently proposed for election by the Members at the AGM.
21
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
On appointment, new Trustees are provided with appropriate Charity Commission guidelines, a copy of the Articles of Association, a full set of the Charity’s Policies, the current Strategic Plan, the latest Statutory Accounts and an outline of their duties and responsibilities.
The Board delegates responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Charity to the Management Team, Prism Administration Limited, who report to the Board on the performance of the Charity. Trustees review financial and operational trends.
The Charity has created a Finance and Investment Committee chaired by Michael Ridley. Michael Ridley stepped down in November 2023. The other members are Charles Mesquita, Jonathan Gold, Anthony Collard (member since September 2022 and current chair of this committee) and Sharonjit Clare (member since December 2022). This committee meets quarterly and oversees the budgets set by the team as well as overseeing the investment portfolio.
The Trustees are also aware of prospective clients and, where relevant, will help the team on due diligence around new clients. The Founder and CEO, Anna Josse, meets regularly with the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Investment Committee so that the board have regular input on process and key decisions. In addition, Anna Josse meets on a one-to-one basis with other board members who bring different expertise into the Charity where required.
The arrangements for setting the pay and remuneration of the Charity’s key personnel are discussed by relevant management. The overall budget of the Charity is discussed with the Chair and Head of the Investment Committee.
The Trustees meet outside of regular board meetings, to look at future strategy of the Charity and to be updated on appropriate Safeguarding training.
RESERVES
The Board’s reserves policy is to maintain a minimum level of operating costs in light of the predominant risks to the organisation, specifically a fall in donation income and clients. The Board has reviewed the current unrestricted reserves of the Charity and considers that the level is sufficient but not excessive, so as to safeguard the Charity from financial risk and unforeseen expenditure, such as a shortfall in income or rising core costs. The Charity has £1,390,587 unrestricted reserves that includes £532,161 cash (free reserves) and £792,000 property asset to cover 12 month’s fixed operation costs.
As at the year end, the Charity holds £1,390,587 (2022: £812,573) in unrestricted funds. The Charity's level of unrestricted income and funds carried forward have historically been relatively small compared to its total income. This is as reflection of the Charity's relatively low cost based for which such funds are required. However, unrestricted funds have risen steadily over the last 5 years as the Charity has continued to grow, which reflects a desire for greater reserves over a period of high uncertainty as a result of the continued challenges of Brexit, and the Cost of Living Crisis. Unrestricted funds are regularly reviewed internally by the trustees, as disclosed in the trustees' report to ensure they remain adequate.
22
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
RISK
The Trustees have undertaken procedures in order to implement SORP 2019 as it is the acknowledged best practice for charities. They have undertaken a risk management process, which outlines the key risks of the Charity, relevant control procedures, responsibilities and future actions to be taken. Future monitoring of risk has now become embedded within the overall agreed procedures of the Charity.
The Trustees are satisfied that all the major risks to which the Charity is exposed are being reviewed and systems of internal control are being established to manage those risks. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
The Trustees assessed donations to certain areas that may be deemed high risk. The decision was made to deal with known organisations that have knowledge and employees working in an area as opposed to making a gift to organisations, for example in Lebanon or Syria via Turkey, where we have limited involvement or knowledge regarding end use of funds.
The Trustees continually assess the investments before one is made and review current investments on a quarterly basis. The review will consider the risk alongside the key objective of Prism which is to get as much money out into the Charitable Sector.
Risk management
The Trustees regularly review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. No significant risks were identified during the year.
Related parties
There are relationships between the Charity Trustees and other charities and organisations with which it cooperates in the pursuit of its charitable objects. The Charity contracts with Prism Administration Limited, a company whose directors are the co-founders of the Charity and Anna Josse is the CEO. This has been disclosed further in note 15.
If the Charity provides a grant to an entity where a Trustee has a pre-existing relationship, the Trustees are required to disclose the potential conflict of interest and are removed from any decision making in respect of support provided. Prism Administration employees are present at Prism’s Board meetings to report on performance and activity of the funds and to provide additional support to the Trustees to enable them to make strategic decisions.
INVESTMENT POLICY
1. Introduction
- 1.1 Prism the Gift Fund is a registered charity whose mission is to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector by creating efficiencies wherever we can. Prism’s focus is on effective
23
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
administration of the giving by individuals, collectives and foundations, making significant gifts to organisations all around the world. Prism provides Donor Advised Funds, Collective Funds and Foundation Administration services.
-
1.2 Prism holds approximately £206,418,424 (2022: £174,600,328) of investment assets, most of which are Donor Advised Funds in respect of which the Fund receives an investment suggestion from the relevant Donor. The funds are invested pending distribution for charitable purposes over extended periods with the intention that capital growth and income will increase the volume of funds available for distribution and allow sustainable grant making capabilities. When a donor suggests a portfolio and/or investment manager, the Finance and Investment Committee of the board of Prism will review the structure and sign off to ensure it is acceptable to the Charity. Monthly and quarterly valuations are produced for the Finance and Investment Committee (and the donor). The Board meet quarterly to review all valuations and take any appropriate action.
-
1.3 The Collective Funds receive funds and distribute for charitable purposes within a relatively short time period and as a result these funds are held principally in the form of cash, bank deposits and other highly liquid instruments.
-
1.4 Prism has by its very nature a wide range of charitable objectives in terms of distributions and is also not restricted by geography or sector.
2. Investment Objectives
-
2.1 Prism seeks to produce the best long term financial return within an acceptable level of risk for the bulk of the assets, referred to as the 'financial investments'. This should allow the Fund to maintain the real value of the assets pending distribution. There is no requirement to generate income specifically to fund grants, since all of the financial assets are available for distribution. For the year ended June 2023 total net return on investments was £9.2m including net investment income.
-
2.2 Prism adopts a total return approach and is indifferent between income and capital gains over the long term.
3. Risk
3.1 Attitude to Risk
-
3.1.1 Prism relies on long term investment return to preserve and increase the value of the financial investments to further its mission to increase the flow of funds into the charitable sector.
-
3.1.2 The key risks to the long-term sustainability of the Fund are inflation, commercial investment risk, currency risk and market risk.
-
3.1.3 The Trustees are able to tolerate volatility in the capital value of the funds and also to tolerate currency risk in line with the potential international distribution of funds. The nature of the Donor Advised Funds will require consideration of a wide range of potential investments
24
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
including some which may be regarded as speculative but are intended to generate long term capital gains to be distributed for charitable purposes.
-
3.1.4 As a matter of policy, Prism does not “self-manage” and all funds other than short term holdings are placed with or through reputable investment management professionals.
-
3.1.5 The Trustees have established an Investment Committee consisting of Trustees with significant financial markets experience. The Committee’s role is to evaluate and monitor on behalf of the Trustees all investments and to determine if the investment guidance given by Donors is appropriate. The Trustees are not bound by this investment guidance, but will take into account the benefit to the Fund of receiving assets under specific guidance which might otherwise not be donated to the Fund, provided that such donations do not convey risk to the other assets in the fund and are donated solely for the purpose of increasing the future capacity of the fund to make charitable distributions.
3.2 Assets
-
3.2.1 Prism’s financial investments can include cash, bonds, loans, equities, property, hedge funds, structured products, private equity funds, commodities, non-traded shares in unlisted private companies, derivatives, managed funds and any other asset deemed suitable by the Investment Committee. The Fund can also consider Programme Related and Mixed Motive Investments in accordance with Charities Commission guidance.
-
3.2.2 Whilst the Fund reports in Sterling, there is no restriction on the currency mix of the financial investments.
-
3.2.3 Prism maintains sufficient liquidity in the Collective Funds to allow them to distribute in line with their aims.
-
3.2.4 For the Donor Advised Funds, there is no specific liquidity requirement, but the Trustees will monitor funds to ensure that they are in a position to make charitable distributions in line with their established aims and may take steps to increase liquidity and arrange charitable distributions from funds considered by the Trustees to be dormant.
4. Governance
The Investment Committee will make a full report to the Trustees on an annual basis. This policy will be reviewed as needed but at least every two years.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Directors (who are also Trustees for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO MEMBERS OF PRISM THE GIFT FUND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Prism the Gift Fund for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2023 and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
29
PRISM THE GIFT FUND Charity Registration number 1099682 Company Registration number 04677253
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which includes the strategic report and the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to charity and company law applicable in England and Wales, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and UK tax legislation.
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
-
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
-
Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their accounting estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Accounting policies
A summary of principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year, is set out below.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Significant judgements and estimates
In applying the accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Trustees' judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies
The critical judgement that the Trustees have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements are discussed below:
Assessing indicators and impairment
In assessing whether there have been any indicators or impairment of assets, the Trustees have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, counterparty credit ratings and experience or recoverability. There have been no indicators or impairments identified during the current financial year.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Due to the straightforward nature of the activities of the Charity, the Trustees do not believe that there are any estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, with the exception of determining the year end carrying value of investments and investment properties. The values as at the year end have been derived from 3rd party reports and independent property valuations.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (cont.)
Funds Structure
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable activities at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds are donations made to Prism and the onward designation of those donations is directed by the donor in agreement with the Trustees. Sometimes known as donor advised funds, the majority of the donation income of Prism falls into this category. A breakdown of restricted funds in shown in note 8.
Donation income recognition
Charitable income is recognised on a cash received basis other than where an accruals basis provides a more accurate basis or will give a fairer representation of the underlying nature of the transaction. Income is recognised so far as there is entitlement to the income, it is more than likely that it will be received and the amount is quantifiable.
Investment income recognition
All Investment income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the Charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Fixed asset investments
Quoted Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing mid-market value.
Property and unquoted investments are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at fair value unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between fair value at the year end and their carrying value.
37

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (cont.)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the obligation will be required to be settled, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is material.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. In addition to its fixed asset investments, as described above, the Charity holds basic financial instruments which comprise cash at bank, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.
Financial assets - classified as basic financial instruments
(i) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(ii) Other receivables
Other receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price, including any transaction costs. Amounts that are receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash expected to be received, net of any impairment.
At the end of each reporting period, the Charity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a receivable amount may be impaired. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(iii) Other payables
Other payables are initially measured at the transaction price, including any transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amounts that are payable within one year are measured at the discounted amount of the cash expected to be paid.
Foreign exchange
The financial statements are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates (the functional currency), being GBP. Any foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the transactions at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (cont.)
Going concern
After making enquiries, the Trustees believe that Prism has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Trustees have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The Trustees have reviewed and considered the relevant information, considering a period of a minimum of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, in making their assessment. Based on these assessments, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
PRIOR YEAR RESTATEMENT
Included within the prior year figures is an adjustment to investment income of £948,100 to recognise the income received on investments. This resulted in the investment income increasing from £332,576 to £1,280,676. Additionally, £453,031 worth of investment management charges have been recognised in respect of generating funds. This resulted in a change in expenditure from £57,595,458 to £58,048,489. The net impact of these adjustments has been corrected through the restricted loss on revaluation of fixed asset investment, increasing the balance from £8,019,451 to £8,514,520.

The donation income is split between a donation of cash of £88,129,350 and a donation of assets of £22,199,104. By nature of a Donor Advised Fund service, donors may give significant donations in their first year and take time to carefully work out a strategy for their giving. This is to ensure the distributions are made, with thorough guidance, due diligence, governance and compliance. In addition if a donor makes a significant gift in Year 1, the effective distribution of such a large gift may take a number of years.

Social Impact Loan
RefuAid, a collective fund operating under the auspices of Prism, run an interest-free lending programme dedicated to helping refugees in the UK complete their training and licencing so they can work in their field in the UK. The ‘Access Loan” scheme provides people who have claimed asylum in the UK the opportunity to return to their previous career with an interest-free loan that covers the cost of requalification. As part of RefuAid’s scheme, Prism receives funding via social impact loans by entering into social investment agreements with funders supporting this programme.
The scheme is operated as follows:
Street UK CIC is an ethical lender that has partnered with RefuAid, to provide the loan provision and administration. All the contracts with the beneficiaries, administered by Street UK CIC, include clear repayment terms and the loan payment arrangement details. The beneficiaries pay their loans back to Street UK CIC, who in turn return the funds to Prism, so the original funders can be repaid. However, some funders may choose not to be repaid and to instead recycle their loan back into the scheme, in which case Street UK CIC keeps the funds and loans them again to new beneficiaries of the RefuAid loan programme. In June 2023, the administration of RefuAid’s loan provision programme moved from Street UK CIC to East Lancashire Moneyline (IPS) (known as “Moneyline”), a not-for-profit organisation providing access to credit for the lowest income households in the UK.
