## **ASFARI FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

**The Asfari Foundation works through three Programmes with specific themes:** 

## **The Youth Learning, Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme** 

Well-educated and engaged young people, working together with others as active members of society can make a genuine contribution to the development of their communities. The Asfari Foundation’s objective is to address the structural and systemic issues that restrict the educational, vocational and business opportunities available to young people. It does so by investing in organisations and initiatives that contribute to the overall vibrancy, professionalism, effectiveness and accountability of innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in Palestine and Lebanon. 

## **The Civil Society Programme** 

A strong, vibrant and resilient civil society is key to the development of all healthy, participatory democratic societies and thus critical to the future of Syria, Palestine and Lebanon. The Asfari Foundations aims to foster a strong and sustainable civil society that is able to effectively bring people together for the common good, providing quality information to citizens and policymakers, serving those in need and advocating for change. The Asfari Foundation currently focuses on civil society in, or of, Syria and Lebanon (including Palestinian organisations working in these countries). To do this, we support organisations and initiatives that contribute to the vibrancy, professionalism, effectiveness and governance of the civil society sector as a whole. We also continue to support and develop the Asfari Institute for Civil Society and Citizenship at the American University of Beirut which has become a regional centre with civil society expertise, providing support through research, convening and education. 

## **Strategic Learning and Engagement Programme** 

The Foundation’s partners work on societally transformative issues in one of the most combustible regions in the world. The data they generate offers rare insight into how civil society in the Middle East is developing; but their capacity to collect and share it is limited. The Foundation wants to leverage this data by creating an online portal (Midan) to become a digital learning and knowledge exchange for its peers, partners and wider practitioner and research communities, both in the Arab region and beyond. Midan will capture and present partner data and best practices to stakeholders across regional and global networks, helping to shape global understanding of the challenges of the region, and to share the innovative solutions and approaches developed in that context. Midan will also offer formal and non-formal e-learning in the Foundation’s key thematic areas, in Arabic, to increase accessibility and relevance. 

## **Performance of fundraising activities against objectives** 

The Asfari Foundation does not actively raise funds, income is received through donations from the Asfari Family to meet its objectives. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Asfari Foundation’s Articles of Association provides for a minimum of three Trustees, who are also directors for the purpose of company law. Trustees are selected for their skills and abilities to ensure that the overall governance is sound and meets its legal and moral obligations. 

Newly appointed Trustees undertake a series of meetings with the Asfari Foundation’s senior management to ensure they gain a full understanding of the Foundation and their responsibilities. 

All grants paid by the Asfari Foundation are independently agreed by the Trustees collectively, following recommendations by the Projects Committee. Trustees with conflicts of interest declare these in advance and do not participate in related decision making. 

Saba Almubaslat is the only Senior Manager at the Foundation for the year. In her capacity as the Chief Executive Officer, she is accountable for the team’s performance and has the overall responsibility to ensure proper management of the foundation, so that its objects are met, and resources are well managed. 

## **Future Plans and Recent Developments** 

The Asfari Foundation continues to make grants that strengthen organisations with a focus on youth education (entrepreneurship, education system improvement, and higher education provision), and in the field of civil society (governance, citizenship, and media). We support this work in Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and the UK.

## **ASFARI FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ 

In its strategic plan for 2020, the Asfari Foundation envisaged mainstream use of digital capacity and technology to maintain partner support and to be able to respond to the needs of their communities at scale. As a result, when COVID 19 interrupted the traditional mediums of programme delivery, the Foundation reached out to partners and worked with them to amend their delivery plans so that most of their services are provided through digital platforms. To support partners through this digital transformation, the Asfari Foundation released The Digital Transformation Fund and the Digital Challenge, both of which offer partners access to quality digital learning, mentoring and financial support to operationalize such transformation in their line of business. In addition, and as a responsible donor, the Foundation is working closely with its partners to allow a thorough review of project plans and offered partners the option of a ‘no-cost extension’, to ensure they have additional time to conclude their activities, without any negative implications caused by COVID 19 lockdown time, which put most of the partners’ projects on hold for a period of 3-4 months. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total income for 2020 amounted to £3.7m million (2019: £5.2 m). Donations from the Asfari family constitute the principal source of income for the Foundation. Over the years, the family has made substantial donations to the Foundation. The Foundation also receives income from its investments. 

Total expenditure on charitable activities for 2020 was £3.4 million (2019: £4.4 m). Of this total, £2.8 million (2019: £3.7 million) was spent on grants awarded across the Foundation's programmes. Support costs to operate the organisation amounted to £0.6 million (2019: £0.7m). 

At 2020 year end, the funds of the Foundation were entirely unrestricted and amounted to £15.2million (2019: £16.4 m). During 2020, funds declined by £1.2 million (2019: augmented by £2.0 million) as a surplus of income over expenditure was offset by a net loss on investments. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

In line with the recommendations of the Charity Commission, the Trustees have a regularly reviewed Reserves policy. This recognises that the income of the Foundation varies year on year and so to enable the Foundation to plan its activities, it is prudent to hold reserves. The policy also recognises that the reserves that represent the fixed assets and the restricted funds of the Foundation are not freely available and thus are to be distinguished from free reserves. In the annual review of the Reserves Policy the Board decided that in the prevailing economic climate it would be prudent to ensure that we have cover for 12 months of expenditure in our reserves. These reserves are held to ensure that the Trust can continue to engage in its charitable work even if adverse economic conditions constrain annual income. 

## **Investment policy and performance** 

To mitigate financial risk, the Trustees have an investment policy that evolves in line with the strategic goals for the organisation. In the short term, the Foundation's investment objective is growth. Longer term (beyond 10 years), the objective is to provide income to support the Foundation's programme expenditure. The Asfari Foundation’s Investment Committee reviews, monitors investments, and provides investment support to the Board. 

Over the period of investment, the portfolio has performed well, despite the reduction in market value in 2020. In 2020 the Foundation maintained its investment portfolios with Credit Suisse to give greater diversification of the total investments in accordance with policy. In addition, the Foundation has direct shareholdings in three listed stocks and stakes in a private equity investment. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

The Trustees have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Risk Management** 

A comprehensive risk register is managed by the Foundation and, for each risk, specific mitigations are put in place. The risk register is regularly reviewed by the CEO, the team and the Trustees to ensure risks are appropriately managed. An Audit and Risk Committee monitors and advises the Board on audit, risks, and policy development. Risks to which the Foundation is exposed to are regularly reviewed, and systems are established to mitigate them.
