EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION (UK) IA company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 There were four funds in deficit at year-end.. Atlas fellowship £1,403,659. A transfer has been made from unrestricted funds to cover this deficit. Asterisk £95,118. Following the year end, a grant was agreed by EV US lo clear EV UK'S balance. Oxford accommodation £133,627. The property is now on the market and the fund deficit will be cleared from consideration. Project solve £137,524. A transfer has been made from unreslricled funds lo cover this deficit. Further detsil of these funds in deficit can be found within note 22 to the accounts. Reserves Policy EV UK will continue lo adopt a policy of holding not less than 6 months of future operating costs nel current assets at all limes, with the aim of increasing this to 12 months over time (see also "investment policy. below). As of 30 June, the net current asset balan of EV UK £29,577,947 represented approximately 10 months operating costs and was therefore at the upper end of the range based on our policy. The basis on which EV UK'S free reserves are calculated changed in the year. In prior years, the "CEA" and "Funds (Generall. funds represented core activities of the charity, were funded by unrestricted grants to the charity (previously called "Centre for Effective Altruism") and so were included in 'Yree reserves" Over time, and following the Charity's growth, funding received for those activities has become restricted to CEA and EA Funds as projects of EV. EV UK'S year end free resenies figure therefore no longer includes CEA and Funds {Generall funds. The costs of EV UK'S core operations are allocated to the various charitable projects they SUPFK)rt and so there is no ongoing need for unrestricted income. Accordingly, EV UK'S policy is limited to holding at least 3 months, central operating costs in free reserves lo act as a buffer should there be significant changes lo the funding of the charity's projects that would affect the viability of allocating costs as planned. The Trustees consider the slate of the EV UK'S financial affairs to be satisfactory. In particular. the projects affected by the bankruptcy of FTXF have now all adjusted their plans or secured alternative funding. EV UK continues to receive sufficient funding to operate all ils activities from its existing donor base. However, as noted above, the Trustees of EV UK have decided that the charitable purposes for which the charity was set up would be best served by spinning out all of the projects which are currently fiscally sponsored by EV UK, and it is therefore expected that EV UK will eventually wind down in 2025 or beyond. For this reason, the financial ststemenls are not prepared on a going concem basis. Investment Policy EV UK holds between one month and three months of operating (x)sts in cash at all limes. The remainder of reseNes are held in high interest notice accounts. 11 is the policy of EV UK to liquidate donations received in the form of cryptocurrency on receipt. Risk Management EV UK regularly reviews and identifies risks and reports these lo the trustees. The risks are discussed and monitored by the Iruslees, and miligalions are identified by the Director of Operations and the CEO. The key current risks as identified in our Risk Register and the control systems are shown below, along with the progress made on risks identified for the previous reporting period.

As a result, EV UK does not expect to receive any future grant income from this source. After the year end lin November 20231, EV UK reached a settlement agreement with the bankruptcy estate of FTX, which provided a general release from all possible claims from the FTX estate. Following the collapse of FTX, the Charity Commission opened a slatulory inquiry into EV UK in December 2022. The Charity Commission's slalulory inquiry into EV UK remains open. The trustees have continued to cooperate fully.

One new trustee has been appointed and more are expected in early 2024. As noted in the section on Objectives and Activities above. the Trustees of EV UK decided that the charitable purposes for which the charity was sel up would be best served by spinning out all of the projects which are currently fiscally sponsored by EV UK, into new independent enlilies. This prOs$ is expected lo take between one and years. The board of EV UK does not intend to fiscally sponsor new charitable projects, once the existing projects have spun out.11 is therefore expected that EV UK will eventually wind down lin 2025 or beyond). A Conflicts of Interest Register is maintsined by the charity's legal team,. every board meeting opens with a request lo disclose any relevant Cols,. all written resolutions of the board also require the disclosure of any relevant Cols,. all new board members are required lo read the COI policy and sign a declaration of inleresls,. trustees are required to update the charity's legal team if any new Cols arise, so that these can also be entered onlo the COI Register.

EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION (UK) IA company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION {UKI Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Effective Ventures Foundation {UKI {the 'charitable company'l for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial aclivilies, the Balance sheet. the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 Praclicel. Except for the fact consolidated financial statements have not been presented as set out below, in our opinion the financial slatemenls.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including ils income and expenditure for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally A¢pted Accounting practi., and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for qualified opinion As sel out in note 15, the Charity retained control of EV US from 1 July 2022 to 7 December 2022. As they were a parent charity the Charity should have prepared consolidated accounts for the period, including the results of EV US up lo 7 December 2022 but have actually deconsolidated as at 1 July 2022. In respect of this matter alone our audit opinion is qualified. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Stsndards on Auditing IUKI {ISAs IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those stsndards are further described in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant lo our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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. Emphasis of matter In forming our opinion on the financial statements, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2.2 to the financial statements concerning the Charity s ability to continue as a going concem. OLJr opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The Trustees of EV UK have decided that the charitable purposes for which the charity was set up would be best served by spinning out all of the projects which are currently fiscally sponsored by EV UK, and it is therefore expected that EV UK will eventually wind down in 2025 or beyond. For this reason, the financial statements are not prepared on a going concem basis. Page 14 Do¢ ID.. ad98b8e8e69314880863204b8679f1a307439fOe

EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION (UK) IA company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION IUKI {CONTINUED) Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement, the Trustees Iwho are also the directors of the charitable company for the purF)oses of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the Trustees determine is necessary lo 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 concem basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitsble company or lo cease operations, or have no realistic altemative bul to do so. Audltor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial stslements as a whole are free from material misstalemenl, whether due lo 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 IUKI will always detect a material misstalemenl when il exists. Misslalemenls 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, lo delecl material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, fwusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements bLJI compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraLJd. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were laxalion legislation and employment legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regLJlatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, lo be within the recognition of grant and donation income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of joumals, designing audit pmcedures over grant and donation income, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with g0veman.

EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION (UK) IA company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EFFECTIVE VENTURES FOUNDATION IUKI {CONTINUED) Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misslatemenls in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations lirregularitiesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, mispresentatIOns, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to deteel non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 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.or .uklauditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditovs report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable companls 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 stste to the charitable Company's members those matters we are required lo state lo them in an Auditorts report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent pemiitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and ils members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In prior years, the "CEA" and "Funds IGenerall' funds represented core activities of the charity and were funded by unrestricted grants to the charity (previously called 'Centre for Effective Altruism'l. Over lime, and following the charitys growth, funding received for those activities has become restricted to CEA and EA Funds as projects of EV. The year end balan$ are therefore now classified as restricted funds. A transfer has been made to transfer these fund balances from unrestricted to restricted. Designated funds During the prior year, the purchase of Wylham Abbey was completed. As the Charity has met the donorfs wishes, this fund is no longer restricted and so a transfer was made to transfer this to designated funds. Do¢ ID.. ad98b8e8e69314880863204b8679f1a307439fOe

Contingent liabilities in prior year After the end of the prior year end lin November 20221, one of EV UK'S and EV Us's larger funders, FTX Foundation IFTXFI, filed for bankruptcy protection in the USA. 11 was possible that the bankruptcy proedIngS would lead lo claims against EV US and EV UK to retum fLJnds received from FTXF andlor other related organisalions. In the prior year, the timing and amount of any future liability arising from such claims was uncertain. In the current year, this is now known and a settlement has been agreed. As such, a liability has been recognised in the accounts as at 30 June 2023 (see Note 71. Post balance sheet events In November 2023, the Trustees of EV UK decided that the charitable purposes for which the charity was sel up would be best served by spinning out all of the projects which are currently fiscally sponsored by EV UK, into new independent entities. This process is expected to take between one and two years. The board of EV UK does not intend to fiscally sponsor new charitable projects, once the existing projects have spun out. It is therefore expected that EV UK will eventually wind down lin 2025 or beyond). Page 48 Do¢ ID.. ad98b8e8e69314880863204b8679f1a307439fOe
