## **FutureDharma Fund Trustees Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2022. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Object of the CIO is, for the public benefit, the advancement of the Buddhist religion, in particular by: 

1. encouraging members and others to live in accordance with the teachings of Buddha; 

2. supporting ordained members of the Triratna Buddhist community and other duly ordained Buddhists, at the discretion of the charity trustees of the CIO; 

3. maintaining close communication with and working under the guidance of the Triratna Buddhist Order and in cooperation with other groups with the same or similar objects; and 

4. using applications of the Buddha’s teaching to promote the health and well-being of all. 

## **Activities for Achieving Objectives** 

During the year this work was furthered through the following activities: 

- Conducting fundraising through seeking regular donations, major gifts and legacy gifts from ordained members and others within the Triratna Buddhist Community. In particular, during the course of 2022, FutureDharma Fund raised a significant portion of its income (£24k lifetime value) through sponsoring and participating in the Nature of Mind project, a joint enterprise with Adhisthana. In addition NOM provided a number of leads that were followed up during the phone appeal - the phone appeal overall raised £21k LTV in total from existing and new donors 

- Further development of the necessary infrastructure, processes, team and working practices for the effective functioning of the charity, including media production, database development and maintenance, developing the website infrastructure to enable project specific fundraising, and the development of international payment gateways for a range of currencies. 

- Provision of funding for projects and initiatives resourcing the Triratna Buddhist Community, including activities that are for the public benefit. To this end, FutureDharma Fund continues to follow the strategic priorities of the Triratna International Council and uses them as guidance in making funding award decisions. 

- Non-funding related initiatives to resource the Triratna Buddhist Community included providing supporter care and marketing to Tiratanaloka Unlimited project, to fundraise for a new, bigger and more suitable premise for Tiratanaloka (FWBO Sarana), the women’s ordination training centre in the UK. In return FutureDharma Fund received £25,000 p.a., which has helped us recruit an additional supporter care officer and build capacity within our team. 

- Continued development of the grant application process for rigour, simplicity and to gather a broader range of information, particularly local information, to support the prioritisation of funding awards. In 2021, the programmes team faced significant challenges with the illness and subsequent death of our valued programmes manager, Portia Howe (Moksacitta). We are fortunate to have quickly found and recruited a suitable replacement in Peter Cox (Jnanaruchi) 

- Recruiting new Trustees from our partner bodies to fill representative gaps and replace those stepped down or completed their 3-year term. 

## **Grant making Policies** 

Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344 



5 

The income of FutureDharma Fund is made up of donations from individuals within the Triratna Buddhist Community. Applications for grants are invited from projects and organisations within the Triratna Buddhist Community whose aims and objectives are similar to those of the FutureDharma Fund and whose activities and initiatives will serve the strategy and priorities set by the FutureDharma Trustees every 3 to 5 years. Applications are assessed by a grants board, appointed by the trustees. Grants and annual budgets are discussed and reviewed at meetings of the trustees. A report from the projects receiving grants are considered at a subsequent trustee meeting, especially if potential ongoing funding is to be considered. 

## **Achievement and performance** 

## **Review of Activities** 

As stated the charity's income comes mainly from donations from individuals within the Triratna Buddhist Community. Effort has been made to maximise this income, including giving donors and prospective donors good information about the work of the fund and broadening the fundraising base with a mix of one-off major donations, regular standing order donations and legacies. 

The budget for expenditure for the year is based on donations received and pledges made in relation to fundraising campaigns. The budget set allows for the non-payment of a percentage of the pledges. There is a reserves policy (see below) to cover the possibility of unforeseen expenditures, a number of donors not meeting a pledge or a fundraising campaign not reaching its target. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Future Dharma Fund provides funding to a network of Triratna Buddhist Centres, Buddhist groups and other projects in the UK and beyond who work with the general public, promoting health and well-being through courses and events in meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism. The Charity also makes grants to projects that provide religious educational resources and online information on meditation and Buddhism as well as publications on meditation and Buddhism. 

## **Partnership with India Dhamma Trust** 

At the end of 2019, we entered into a partnership with India Dharma Trust (IDT), which is a sister charity, taking on their grant making commitments in return for donation receipts. Laura Hamilton (Vajratara), the chair of IDT, attends our trustee meetings, though she does not have voting rights. 

In 2022, balance brought forwards was £109,858, and we received a total of £43,791 from the IDT partnership. Of this amount, £104,136 was granted to projects, £10,948 was allocated to administrating the partnership and £38,565 is carried over as funds restricted to Indian projects. 

## **Financial Review** 

During the year, Future Dharma Fund received a total income of £435,113 and had total costs of £514,545 resulting in a negative cashflow of £79,431. In 2021, we generated a surplus of £164,820. This is because in 2021, we received a particularly large donation through our partnership with IDT as they had received a sizeable legacy..

In terms of expenditure, our grants programme increased from £252,012 to £291,618. This does not include programmes team costs, or any other non financial programmes support. 

## **Going Concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## **Investment Policy** 

The Future Dharma Fund is a fundraising and grant awarding body and therefore has no plans for significant long-term investment. Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, the majority of the charity’s funds are spent in providing annual grants. However, the charity does, at times, hold reserves in savings accounts. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the major risks to the organisation. Currently the charity’s policy is that uncommitted unrestricted funds should meet or exceed 3 months of the charity’s annual expenditure, including known grant liabilities. This reserve provides leeway and response time should one or more supporters not meet a major financial pledge or if significant unforeseen expenditure arises. This reserves policy will be regularly reviewed depending on circumstances and amended as required. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

The organization is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, whose only voting members are its charity trustees and was registered as a charity on 25[th] May 2016. The company was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the charity and is governed under the articles of its constitution. 

## **Organisational structure and appointment of trustees** 

Future Dharma Fund has a trustee body of up to 7 members who meet between 3 and 6 times a year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The members of the CIO are its trustees and the only people eligible to be members of the CIO are the trustees. Trustees represent and are appointed by ‘sister’ charities within the Triratna Buddhist Community who share the same aims and objectives as the Future Dharma Fund. Currently these are the Triratna Trust, the Triratna Preceptors College Trust, The Triratna European Chairs Assembly and the Triratna International Council. 

The trustees are elected and appointed by these partner bodies, not the existing FutureDharma Trustees board. The trustees serve for up to a three-year period, when they are required to stand down. They can be reappointed for further periods, if re-elected by their appointing charity. The Trustees are required to report back to their appointing charity on a regular basis and to represent the strategy and priorities of the charity that they are representing.

7 

Drawing the trustees from the sister charities helps to ensure that trustees will have the necessary skills and perspective to guide and oversee Future Dharma Fund. All the trustees already have many years of involvement in the Triratna Buddhist Community and a number of years’ experience of trusteeship of Buddhist charities. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training** 

As indicated above, as members of existing charities the trustees will have a background in the governance of other Buddhist charities. In addition, resources are made available to them such as a Trustees Handbook and further guidance from the Charity Commission. 

## **Responsibility of the Trustees** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the balance sheet date, and of both incoming resources, and application of resources for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the CIO will continue on that basis. 

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Members of the Trustee Body** 

The trustees, who served during the year and up to the date of this report, are set out on page 3. 

## **FutureDharma Team** 

Over the course of the year the charity employed a team equivalent of 7.9 full time posts (FTE), including team members who are self-employed. At the end of the year, the number of FTEs was 8.4. As many roles are part-time and there were a number of headcount changes, in total the charity employed 15 individuals during the course of the year. Collectively known as the Future Dharma Team, these people work under the Team Director to implement the aims, objectives, strategy and priorities of the charity and, in particular, to conduct fundraising and manage the grant application process. All team members, including the Team Director, are responsible to the trustees. 

2022 saw the departure of our founding Fundraising Director, Matthew Webb (Amalavajra), who was instrumental in setting up FutureDharma Fund. The trustees acknowledge and thank him for the significant contribution he has made over the last 6 years. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Future Dharma team and trustees conduct an annual review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated annually. Where appropriate, 

Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344 



8 

systems or procedures will be established to mitigate any likely and significant risks the charity faces. The possibility of fundraising not achieving its targets has led to a policy on reserves and the diversification of fundraising will be further explored and developed. Internal control risks have been minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorization of financial transactions for amounts over defined thresholds, as defined by an expenditure authority limits policy. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

## **Future Developments** 

The Charity will continue with the work and activities that fulfil its objectives and principle activities namely, (i) encouraging members and others to live in accordance with the teachings of Buddha, (ii) supporting ordained members of the Triratna Buddhist community and other duly ordained Buddhists, at the discretion of the charity trustees of the CIO, (iii) maintaining close communication with and working under the guidance of the Triratna Buddhist order and in cooperation with other groups with the same or similar objects, and (iii) using applications of the Buddha’s teaching to promote the health and well-being of all. 

Subject to fundraising success grants will be awarded to a range of projects throughout the Triratna Buddhist Community International who share the same aims and objectives as the Future Dharma Fund and whose purpose and activities serve the strategy and priorities of the charity.

the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements

(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a 'true and fair, view which is not a matter
