Our founders recognised that the creation ai)d sliaring of knowledge are the buildi n9 blocks of a healthy
society This principle continues lo iiiform and underpin Wolfson s activities and we Ilierefore have a
strong and renewed focus on education and research.
The Wolfson Foundation's Slr<?logiG FiaiFFcwoik covers the period 2020 10 2024. As an endowed charity
we are able to lake a long-term perspective. remaining loyal lo our core values while responding lo
emerging needs and opportunities We believe that ou r independence and loiig-lerm time horizon are
strengths
strengths that allow us lo work flexibly and creatively whatever the political. economic or

The framework slates that 'we don't know wh31 the next five years
will bring, and so our framework needs lo be flexible But we do kiiow that research and education will
reinain of critical imporlance to British society - and that phi18iilhropy will need to play an important role
That statement has been particularly pertinent across a period of significant change in British society.
The organisalions that we fund indicate there is a real advantage lo a mixed economy of funding from a
variety of sources, In particular. support from philanthropic organisations like Wolfson allows them lo
pursue their anibilions in ways that would be mLich niore difficLIII Ihrougli other SOLirces of fLinding. They
also indicate the ongoing and increasing iieed for sources of capital Infrastructure funding.

The Wolfson brand is intended lo be recognised as a mark of excellence. While 'excellence' is defined
differently by expert panels for each of our fLinding themes and programmes. our intention is to support
oiitslanding projects that are exemplars within their particular area. Vve define 'excellence broadly
enolig h lo in¢lLide organisalions and activities that are pioneering or promising, as well as Iliose that are
more established. The aim is that Wolfson grants have a benefit beyond Iheir financial value. helping
recipients to raise additional funds and lo highlight the importance of their work.
The impact of the Fou ndalion's funding is monitored through biannual reports on projects provided by
grant holders during the lifetime of a grant, by visits undertaken by staff and trustees and by a fra177ework
for ii?oiiilorii?g ai)d evaliiatlolF. Each funding theme has a stated series of aims which provides a
framework, both for evaluation and Inoniloring Our intention is that the blirden on award holders sliould
be as li9ht as possible, and that the infornialion we collect shoiild be proportionate and provide only
the detail necessary for those evalualiiig the project as well as for assessi ng Ihe general programine
area.
We aim lo be a Ihoughlful, listening and responsive funder. While we receive informal feedback on a
¢onslanl basis, we commission periodic Applicc?i?I Peiceplioip Aiiclits. We also, where necessary.
commission external reports to review the eflecliveness of particular programme areas on a more
targeted basis.

Grant-lnakiiig process and policy
Trustees niake awards twice each year and are advised by expert panels comprising Iruslees and
specialists, which meet before the niain board meetings.
FoLir factors influence trustees i n their decision-making, First, we aim lo support, promote and encourage
excellence, both existing and polenlial. High quality grant-m3king based on rigorous, expert peer review
is therefore central lo all activities. Secondly. we atlempl lo ideiilify and support important areas that are
iiiider-funded, drawing on the work of expert panels and disciissions with applicants and other flinders,
Thirdly, we encourage applicants lo use Wolfson funds as a catalyst so that our funding can lever
additional support. Fourthly, we actively seek collaboration willi other expert bodies and fLI nders. The
Royal Society, Art Fund and Hospice UK are just three examples of organisations with whoni we
collaborate on joint funding prograiiimes,
The Foundation has Irad itionally had an emphasis on capital infraslruclLire which accounls for some 85010
of fLinding in a standard year, In particular. we priorilise SLlPPOrting Infrastructure that allows lalenl and
excellence lo flourish. helps organisations lo make a significant. strategic change in their activity. and
makes an organisalion more sustainable.
In targeted areas (and generally in partnership with other experi organisalions}. we also flind talented
people from a diverse range of backgrounds through bursaries. scholarships and fellowships This
recognises the fact that buildings and equipment are only effective alongside the work of talented people.
A focus on excellence does not mean funding exclLi8ively large or metropolitan organisalioiis. As the list
of awards demonslrales (note 161. we are determined lo ensLire that funding is distributed across the
whole of the United Kingdom.

THE WOLFSON FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Funding is grouped around three areas: Science., Health.. and Heritage. Humanities & the Arts. The
fuiiding is administered through a nuniber of programmes, as outlined in note 16. More detail on the
types of projects we fund is on our website. An emphasis on the crealion. preserva110n and disseiiiinalion
of knowledge means Ihal educalioii and research, in the broadest sense are the overarching themes
that encompass almost all our activity. Up lo two thirds of the lolal grant expenditure Is allocated lo higher
education i nstitLJlions.
Applications are generally assessed by independent, expert reviewers. and applicants are given an
OPPDrtunily lo respond to queries raised diiring the review proces8. We aim to be clear and transparent
in all our aclivilies.
We also aim to add value lo individuals and organisations receiving funding through our commlinicalions
and networks. In line with our Coinmunicalion strategy, we use social niedia channels, the blog and
media outreach lo highlight good practice, offer guidance on the application process and make
connections between grant holders.
Although the Foundation does not work directly with children or VLilnerable adults, Il does provide funding
to other organisalions that work witli these groups We seek lo ensure, through proportionate and
reasonable due diligence and advice from the relevant expert panels, that grantee organisalions lake
their responsibility seriously and that safeguards are in place in these organisalions lo protect vulnerable
people from abuse. The Foundation also seeks to ascertain that applicants have clear procedures for
reporting concerns.

Following the policies outlined above. grants were pledged tolalling f 45.2 Inillion, and Gash payments of
grants were made lolalling £39. 9 million Tlie year's granl-giving was successful in that. on the advice of
external experls, quality projects in our priority areas were funded
Given the nature of the capital inveslirents, especially when fLinding infiaslructLire underpinning high-
quality research. it is too early lo assess the long-lerm benefits of projects fLinded during this partlCLJlar

The long-term outcome of supporting high quality bul often neglected areas of research is often diff icull
to predict. An exainple of this over the lasl decade is Wolfson s fiinding of the UK'S infectious disease
infrastructure in the years leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic Our joint programn)e with the Roya
Society lo support laboratory refurbishment Infrastructure was themed around infeclioLJS disease during
2015, 2016 and 2017 This meant that many of the leading UK infectious diseases laboratories had been
refurbished just before the pandemic. Similarly. the Jenner InslilLile in Oxford also received major
infraslruclure support from Wolfson which, alongside a portfolio of funding from a variety of sources.
helped ensure that researchers in the Inslitule were ready and able lo work on the creation of the Oxford
Astrazeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

11) Science
This area continues to receive the highest proportion of our overall fundin9. particularly for researcli

with Liniversilies and other researcli-inlensive organisations to identify projects that lake Into account the
inslilution, s strategic priorities and their own assessment of their researcli strengths. We allocate fund ing
on the grounds of excellence and not Ihroiigh a prescriptive empliasis on a parlicLilar theme or topic. We
anticipate, however, that we will continue to fLind projects relaliiig to some of the great conlemporary
research challenges, inc5uding, for example, climate change. mental health and nelirodegenerative
diseases,

In order lo achieve a proper balance between the interests of current and fLlture beneficiaries. the IrLislees
