RIFCO ARTS Trurtee< Report For the year ended 31 March 2023 Flnanclal revl The organisation stzrted 2022123 an extremety healthy cash reserve. having operated with a reduced staff throughout the pandemic period. Over the course of the year Rifco spent down some ol these reserves In order to restart our live touring pro8ramme and increase our 5taffin8 to pre-pandemic leve15. We also made the decislon to Spend 50meofthese reserves onthe21 Artists progrnmme as a wayto supportexisting and developing British South Asian talent. There was an operational deficit of £126,344 ￿ unrestricted fund5, and together with total unrestricted reserves carrled forward ai i Aprll 2023 of £3SO,907. Trustees have assessed the major risks to tthKti the Rifco is exp05ed, induding those presented by the Covld-19 Cri￿5. The Risk Register has been updzted Imarch 20221 and there are systems in place toensure business continuity within the small team. The 8oard are satlsfied that the systerns in plats m5ti.eate any exposure to major Tisk5. Fundr•islr¥ and inmffle iener•o The Board and the EXe￿t￿e set an initial fundraising tawget of £62.5(Xl based on the 202V22 outcome. In the period to March 2023 £29.7CKJ was raised frorn Trusts and Foundations. £8.￿6 from indNidual donations and Gift Aid. and £18.500 from Rifco's first G31a Fundraiser for a totsl of just over £57,(IxI for the year. This wa5 somewhat down on expectation, partly because the Gala Fundfaiser was moved ffom Marth 2023 to April 2023. but 315Q because the Trusts and FoundatKJns irKorne wa5 significantty down on previDU5 years. This is representative of a nurnber of thing5'. rnany Trusts and Foundations h8ve been workin8 to a ievised stratey and criteria plan. based on the amends they made to support organisat10115 in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. Consequently, there are a significant numberofthem who may pr￿lOUs￿ have supported arts Projects but repurposed theirfunds to support the 5UStainability of charities who were in the greatest need. Secondty, our ￿serveS position. p05t-Covid. was extremely healthy as funds desvdnated for tourin8 rernalned largety unspent. so our immediate need appeared less urgent than many other charrties. This placed us in an unfavourable position when competing with those other charities for funding from the same grant gr¥in8 bodies. A number Trust and Foundatii)n5 a150 reported that their own ability to award grants was reduced. as so fflany of thern rely donations and rewm on investments. Both sources of income were down on previous years. There wa5 additionalty £82,250 of Trncome Benerated from toproduditin. br*x oTre. and guaraniees from touring venues.
