Introduction

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2022.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, and the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (SORP) (FRS 102 second edition effective January 2019). This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

Structure, Governance and Management of Global Dialogue

Global Dialogue is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10 April 2006 and registered as a charity on 19 December 2007. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and the members of the company limited by guarantee. Throughout this report they are referred to as the trustees. The trustees who served during the year ended 30 April 2022 are listed on page 1. No trustees had any beneficial interest in the charity, and no remuneration of directors is paid by the charity.

New trustees are appointed by the existing board and receive an induction process which includes access to founding, financial and planning documents, Charity Commission approved literature and meetings with senior staff. One trustee resigned during the year ended 30 April 2022 and, following a skills audit, five new board members were recruited by public advertisement during 2021-22.

Day to day management of the charity’s activities is the responsibility of Esther Hughes, Executive Director. Pay and remuneration of key management personnel is set by the Board with reference to relevant comparative data, and a review of the charity’s Reward and Remuneration Policy is planned for the year 2022-23.

Global Dialogue’s Objectives and Activities

Global Dialogue is an independent, international platform for philanthropic partnership, offering hosting, regranting, incubation and special initiatives capacity, enabling funders to work together to advance human rights and social change.

Our charitable objects are to advance for the public benefit in the United Kingdom or elsewhere such purposes as are recognised as exclusively charitable under the law of England and Wales and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of those objects):

Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 2

research into human rights issues; commenting on proposed human rights legislation; obtaining redress for victims of human rights abuse; promoting public support for human rights.

Global Dialogue carries out a range of activities in furtherance of these charitable objects, which we group into four areas: hosting, incubating, grantmaking and special initiatives, and this report presents income and expenditure under these four areas. Having considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, the trustees are confident that these activities provide benefit to the public both in the UK and abroad.

In the year 2021-22 these included five hosted programmes:

We continued to incubate a new entity, The Five Foundation , the Global Partnership to End FGM, which we successfully span out to become an independent charity in December 2021.

Global Dialogue continues to carry out general grantmaking , enabling funders to make grants supporting human rights and social change worldwide, and to offer a special initiatives programme to assist funders in scoping, testing, and developing new approaches or partnerships.

Grantmaking

Some of the programmes hosted at Global Dialogue involve grantmaking using funds of one or more contributing funders, whilst others are more focussed on collaboration and joint working with funder members making their own funding decisions. Each of our grantmaking programmes has a separate grantmaking policy which is determined by the programme goals.

Grants made by Global Dialogue in relation to Migration Exchange and the Funders Initiative for Civil Society are made in pursuit of that programme’s strategic goals, as identified by the Programme Director and by the programme management committee or advisory board, who together identify the outcomes they wish to achieve and then seek organisations who are equipped to deliver them; these programmes do not usually consider unsolicited approaches for funding. In all cases final grant recommendations are presented to the trustee board for approval.

Our general grantmaking is not open to general applications, as grants are made from donated funds in accordance with the terms and objectives of that donation. The trustees consider whether any terms applied are consistent with our charitable objects before accepting the donation, and the trustees in full session directly approve any onward grant using donated funds.

Unsolicited applications to all programmes are reviewed by Global Dialogue staff who respond accordingly. During the year 2021-22 we recruited a dedicated Grants Manager to implement the recommendations of the Regranting Review, equipping the organisation to significantly increase the volume, efficiency and scope of our grant management.

Risk

The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified and are reviewed by the trustees on a bi-monthly basis, and that systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks.

Activities, Achievements and Future Plans

The year 2021-22 was a period of significant growth for Global Dialogue as our hosted programmes responded with agility and imagination to the ongoing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.

We saw substantial growth in income, expenditure and staff numbers, particularly for the Funder’s Initiative for Civil Society, but also for the International Education Funders Group, noting that 2021-22 was the first full financial year for IEFG at Global Dialogue and so prior year figures are not comparable.

A renewed trustee board, with five new board members, is overseeing this growth through the creation of several subcommittees and working groups, notably the Operations Advisory Group, which scrutinises operational matters on behalf of the Board, and the DEI Working Group which oversees an ongoing review of diversity, equity and inclusion across the organisation.

We look forward to continued growth and success in 2022-23 as our hosted programmes flourish and our grantmaking activity increases in service of our mission to advance human rights and social change.

Ariadne

Ariadne is a network of European social change and human rights funders who work together to strengthen philanthropy, help funders act strategically, and encourage new donors to enter the field with maximum impact. The network is made up of 757 individuals from 139 grantmaking organisations based in 22 countries.

Ariadne’s principal accomplishments in 2021-22 include:

Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 5

DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368

influence. Digital Power Lead, Maya Richman, convened small cohorts of funders grappling with the challenges of integrating technology into their work for joint support through this process.

Through all of this, Ariadne continues to build relationships with national associations of foundations across Europe, in the hope that joint efforts will attract more funders to the human rights field.

In 2022-23 we will continue to take the opportunity to focus funders on key themes such as racial and gender injustice, shrinking democratic spaces, and the intersection of digital rights and climate justice.

The Five Foundation

The Five Foundation’s key event in 2021-22 was a G7 warm up event held on June 9th in Central London called ‘Financing Africa’s Female Future’ which brought together UK Home Secretary Priti Patel and Secretary of State for International Trade Liz Truss, along with speakers from international foundations, women’s funds, African economists and the private sector, to talk about investing in African women and girls. Partnerships continued to grow, increasing to nearly 90 partners, and the Five Foundation secured further media coverage in dozens of publications including City AM, Evening Standard, Reuters and many others.

In mid-August the Five Foundation completed an extensive but ultimately successful registration process with the Charity Commission and became an independent charity in England and Wales, finally spinning out of Global Dialogue as planned in December 2021.

Funders Initiative for Civil Society

Around the world, vibrant civil society movements work tirelessly to build mass public and political support for their ideas. But governments, anti-rights groups and private actors on every continent are constricting the space for action – seeking instead to maintain a broken status quo or extend their grip on power through concerted attacks on civic and democratic space.

Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 6

DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368

The Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS) believes that civil society can disrupt, reform and transform the systems driving these attacks – but to do so they need consistent funding at a scale commensurate with the challenge. FICS’ mission is to help funders move more and better resources to rights-based movements and their allies on the frontline through new research and analysis on what is driving attacks on civic space and by testing strategic interventions to counter them.

This year FICS established two major initiatives – the Narratives Network Initiative and Civic Futures – which bring together funders, movement leaders and other allies to counter two of the major drivers of closing civic space that were identified in our seminal report Rethinking Civic Space (2020).

Civic Futures is FICS’ flagship initiative – a ground-breaking opportunity for funders to collaborate at scale to seed a global, cross-sector civil society response to the widespread abuse of security norms, technologies and narratives by governments and hidden actors to criminalize, monitor, and delegitimize progressive social movements. FICS’ research has identified three main components of this ‘security playbook’: the abuse of security frameworks, laws and norms to criminalise protest and silence dissent; the use of information technologies to surveil and censor actors perceived to be a threat to the state and its interests; and the promotion of a “security narrative” to foster suspicion of dissenters and public acceptance of concentrated state power.

To begin to counter this phenomenon, over the past year we have:

FICS also invested in key infrastructure to support its mission, including its communications strategy and tools – culminating in the launch of the new FICS website in February 2022. The coming year will see FICS add further programmatic capacity for Civic Futures as well as further develop FICS’ learning agenda across the drivers of closing civic space, with opportunities for funders to come together to explore key questions related to its analysis.

Narratives Network Initiative

Founded by the Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS), in partnership with the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and Oak Foundation, the Narratives Network Initiative seeks to respond to threats faced by rights-based movements from anti-rights actors. Its goal is to codesign and incubate a new global network that will enable movements to win support for their agendas, and keep open their space to organise, through strategic communications and narrative strategies.

The Narratives Network Initiative aims to add value to existing strong practice in this field by linking up and learning from other narratives projects around the world, by facilitating learning and access to expertise, and by fostering relationships between and across movements. Because movements themselves need to set and control the network’s priorities, over the past year FICS has been facilitating a participatory co-design process – working with more than 300 actors in five languages, across close to 30 countries and a range of progressive movements:

Going forward, the Narratives Network Initiative presents exciting opportunities for FICS and its partners to continue and consolidate learning from this innovative and highly participatory co-design process. We look forward to sharing the outcomes from the 5x5x5s, to deepening FICS’ activity and relationships in key focal countries, and to working with the Connective to pull together our learning into an engaging 3–5-year strategy that meets the needs of the movements the network is intended to serve and adds value to other initiatives in this space.

Migration Exchange

Migration Exchange is an informal network of independent funders working to improve the lives of people who migrate and receiving communities in the UK by informing public debate on migration and supporting welcoming communities. Key activities in 2021-22 included:

Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 8

resourcing welcome. In March and April, Migration Exchange convened briefings focused on Ukraine and wider issues around welcome in the UK, in the context of the hostile environment and recent legislation.

Our priorities in the coming year will be to recruit and induct a new programme team and develop a new strategic framework for the next five years.

International Education Funders Group (IEFG)

This annual report reflects on a year of two halves for the International Education Funders Group (IEFG), a peer-driven group of 100 philanthropic organisations that aim to improve education outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. Our purpose is to help private funders have a stronger voice and impact in education by improving their strategic analyses and thinking, informing and assisting their grantmaking, and providing opportunities for collective learning and action.

The first half of 2021-2 remained focused on supporting our members through the pivots and consequences of the pandemic. Our IEFG Online Symposium (18 – 20 May 2021) was a stand-out moment for absorbing the latest evidence on learning loss, for sharing lessons and experiences with each other, and a unique space to pause and reflect on what COVID-pivot practices to keep. Beyond this, our online platform was a useful resource for a wider range of IEFG member staff than ever before to engage within the community. As we neared the end of 2021, we could almost feel the buzz of anticipation as in-person events started once more entering diaries.

Our new Executive Director, Laura Savage, started meeting our members at a memberorganised event in September 2021, and this and subsequent events saw our members burst forth with pent-up ideas and connections that online events – as wonderful, inclusive, climate-friendly and mind-bending as they are – cannot quite match. By April 2022, we were at the final planning stage for two major IEFG meetings in May and June 2022. Our team had expanded with three Policy and Practice Fellows and a new Finance and Admin Manager. Our new ED had, by the end of the year, spoken with over 60 of our 100 members to listen to their priorities and learn about their ambitions and challenges.

Over the entire reporting period, we curated and sent monthly email updates to ~430 individual contacts from around 100 member foundations and a growing number of outside stakeholders. The updates included information on events, news, jobs, and other resources at the intersections of education, international aid, and philanthropy as well as member announcements. Some of the diverse themes and topics covered in the update during this reporting period include: the state of girls’ education, the impacts of inflation in the Global South and for grantmakers, climate related news and its intersections with education, and developments in Afghanistan after the Taliban’s re-rise to power.

In addition to the Online symposium, we held 13 virtual events (virtual sessions, eCafes, online consultations, learning series). For a number of these we collaborated with the OECD netFWD group and OECD Development Centre, Unesco’s GEM Report, our sister network Elevate Children Funders Group and several of our members. May 2021 saw the launch of the IEFG Community on Microsoft Teams. Over 180 individual member contacts from 68

member organisations have accepted our invitation to the Community so far. The platform serves as a resource for a wider range of IEFG member staff than ever before to engage within our community.

The launch of a new communications platform was step two in a three-step technology update. Step three, an interactive dashboard visualising member data housed in Microsoft Teams followed in February 2022.

The year 22-23 will see IEFG refresh our strategy, and further refresh our team with a new Fellow who will help us scope our ‘geographic’ offer of connecting members at regional or country levels. We will launch a new workstream to champion and drive collective action across education philanthropy, including major events and small alliance-building workshops. This year will be an exciting one for IEFG and our members, as we test new activities and explore the potential of our network to amplify philanthropy’s contribution to education system change.

Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace (PSJP)

Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace is a hub to support the development and adoption of ideas about what makes a good society, and to connect and strengthen different spaces and agents that advance these ideas.

Key activities for the year 2021 – 22 included:

Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 11

DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368

Our priorities for the coming year are to complete the Asia research and disseminate and discuss the recommendations for philanthropy with practitioners; and to continue with the learning circles as well as the peace dialogues both to create spaces for learning but also to build community and the collective power of the local peacebuilders.

General Grantmaking

Global Dialogue’s general grantmaking enables funders and philanthropists to make grants for human rights and social change worldwide. In 2021-22 this included continuing support for Five Foundation and the Collective Psychology Project, as well as continuing to manage the grants in our General Grantmaking portfolio. Acting on the recommendations of the Regranting Review in 2020-21, we also recruited a Grants Manager with a view to growing our grantmaking function in 2022-23.

Special Initiatives

Our Special Initiatives programme enables us to work with funders to research and develop new philanthropic initiatives, and in 2021-22 this included creating infrastructure and capacity needed for initiatives related to rule of law issues in South Asia.

Financial Review of Global Dialogue

During the financial year 2021-22 Global Dialogue received income of £3,786,060 (20202021: £2,522,290) and made payments of £2,063,862 (2020-2021: £1,623,689) in relation to its charitable activities and governance. This resulted in net income before exchange rate gains/(losses) of £1,722,198 for the year, which together with exchange rate gains of £101,354 (2020-21 losses £11,780) increased total reserves from £1,720,998 to £3,544,550. The funds held by Global Dialogue include restricted funds, which have been segregated by programme (reflecting the way in which funds are separately managed and controlled) and unrestricted funds available for discretionary use.

Global Dialogue’s trustees have set a target level for unrestricted reserves of £25,000 which is approximately three months unrestricted expenditure, and the trustees are delighted to confirm that unrestricted reserves at year end were above this amount. Reserves are shown in the Balance Sheet as unrestricted funds and the total amount held at 30 April 2022 (excluding Fixed Assets) was £41,599. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

Our principal funding sources during 2021-22 were charitable trusts and foundations who share our commitment to promoting human rights and supporting social change, and our expenditure in pursuit of this commitment included our grantmaking, and our support for Ariadne, the Funders’ Initiative for Civil Society, the International Education Funders Group, Migration Exchange and Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace.

We’re grateful to our funders and partners for their support during 2021-22, a time of continuing challenge and change.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Global Dialogue (the ‘parent charity’) and its’ subsidiary (together ‘the group’) for the year ended 30[th] April 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charity Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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).

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 group 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 group’s or parent charity’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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE

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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.

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.

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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ 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:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 13, 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 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 group or parent charity 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:

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinion we have formed.

GLOBAL DIALOGUE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[th] APRIL 2022

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparing Financial Statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 second edition) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the Group.

(b)

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the of the charity and its trading subsidiary on a line by line basis.

Global Dialogue has taken advantage of Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and not included its own statement of financial activities in these financial statements. The parent’s own financial activity is disclosed in note 17 to the financial statements.

Going Concern

After making enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable group has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Trustee Board’s Responsibilities in the Annual Report.

(l) Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

(ll) Restricted Funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes as specified by the grant giving body or donor.

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charitable group is entitled to the Income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

(l) Voluntary Income is received by way of grants, donation and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants receivable are recognised when the Charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Gifts in kind represent assets donated for use by the Charity, predominantly premises, and are recognised when receivable. Gifts in kind are valued at an estimate of the price the charity would otherwise have paid.

(ll) Investment income is included when receivable.

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(f)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred and included any VAT which cannot fully be recovered.

(l) Expenditure on charitable activities comprises expenditure related to the direct furtherance of the Charity’s objectives as well as support costs. Grants payable are included under charitable expenditure when a contract is signed with the grantee.

(ll) Support costs comprise overheads and governance costs. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the management of the charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

(g) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing over £500 (including any incidental expenses of acquisition) are capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life. The rate of depreciation applied to both Office Equipment and Fixtures & Fittings is 50% for smaller value additions costing less than £5,000 and 20% for additions costing more than £5,000.

(h) Investment Income

Investment Income arises from interest receivable on funds held in interest bearing bank accounts.

(i) Foreign Currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the SOFA.

The charity only has basic financial instruments as defined under Section 11 of FRS 102. Basic financial instruments are recognised initially at transaction value and subsequently at settlement value.

(k) Taxation

The company is a registered charity and as such is entitled to exemption from taxation under the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

19. CORPORATION TAX

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

20. GOING CONCERN

The trustees are pleased to report that despite the continuing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, and the worsening economic outlook, Global Dialogue remains a going concern. The Charity has looked 12 months into the future and believes it will be able to cover its operational costs for that period from a combination of confirmed grants and existing funds. The Charity expects to cover any running costs which are not yet covered by confirmed grants at the date of approval of these accounts through savings or additional grants, which the Charity has a reasonable level of confidence in achieving based on the stage of various grant applications and previous success rates. The Trustees review the going concern position at every Board meeting to ensure that this is kept under review and that any necessary steps to manage the financial position are taken.
