FutureDharma Fund Trustees Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2024.
Objec9ves and Ac9vi9es
The Object of the CIO is, for the public benefit, the advancement of the Buddhist religion, in par>cular by:
-
encouraging members and others to live in accordance with the teachings of Buddha;
-
suppor>ng ordained members of the Triratna Buddhist community and other duly ordained Buddhists, at the discre>on of the charity trustees of the CIO;
-
maintaining close communica>on with and working under the guidance of the Triratna Buddhist Order and in coopera>on with other groups with the same or similar objects; and
-
using applica>ons of the Buddha’s teaching to promote the health and well-being of all.
Ac9vi9es for Achieving Objec9ves
During the year this work was furthered through the following ac>vi>es:
-
Conduc>ng fundraising through individual giving, major gies and legacy gies from ordained members and others within the Triratna Buddhist Community.
-
Further development of the necessary infrastructure, processes, team and working prac>ces for the effec>ve func>oning of the charity, including media produc>on, database development and maintenance, developing the website infrastructure to enable project specific fundraising, and the development of interna>onal payment gateways for a range of currencies.
-
Provision of funding for projects and ini>a>ves resourcing the Triratna Buddhist Community, including ac>vi>es that are for the public benefit. To this end, FutureDharma Fund con>nues to follow the strategic priori>es of the Triratna Interna>onal Council and uses them as guidance in making funding award decisions.
-
Non-funding related ini>a>ves to resource the Triratna Buddhist Community:
-
Providing supporter care and systems development to the Tiratanaloka Unlimited project, to fundraise for a new, bigger and more suitable premise for Tiratanaloka (FWBO Sarana), the women’s ordina>on training centre in the UK.
-
Providing consultancy services to Buddhist centres around the UK and Europe, helping them to increase their income and fundraising capaci>es.
-
Providing fundraising training and advice to a partner body based in India
-
Con>nued development of the grant applica>on process for rigour, simplicity and to gather a broader range of informa>on, par>cularly local informa>on, to support the priori>sa>on of funding awards.
-
Recrui>ng new Trustees from our partner bodies to fill representa>ve gaps and replace those stepped down or completed their 3-year term.
Grant making Policies
The income of FutureDharma Fund is made up of dona>ons from individuals within the Triratna Buddhist Community. Applica>ons for grants are invited from projects and organisa>ons within the Triratna Buddhist Community whose aims and objec>ves are similar to those of the FutureDharma Fund and whose ac>vi>es and ini>a>ves will serve the strategy and priori>es set by the FutureDharma Trustees every 3 to 5 years. Applica>ons are assessed by a grants board, appointed by
Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344

the trustees. Grants and annual budgets are discussed and reviewed at mee>ngs of the trustees. A report from the projects receiving grants are considered at a subsequent trustee mee>ng, especially if poten>al ongoing funding is to be considered.
Achievement and performance
Review of Ac9vi9es
As stated the charity's income comes mainly from dona>ons from individuals within the Triratna Buddhist Community. Effort has been made to maximise this income, including giving donors and prospec>ve donors good informa>on about the work of the fund and broadening the fundraising base with a mix of one-off major dona>ons, regular standing order dona>ons and legacies.
The budget for expenditure for the year is based on dona>ons received and pledges made in rela>on 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 mee>ng a pledge or a fundraising campaign not reaching its target.
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, promo>ng health and well-being through courses and events in medita>on, mindfulness and Buddhism. The Charity also makes grants to projects that provide religious educa>onal resources and online informa>on on medita>on and Buddhism as well as publica>ons on medita>on 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 dona>on receipts. Laura Hamilton (Vajratara), the chair of IDT, a]ended the trustee mee>ngs through 2024, though she did not have vo>ng rights.
In 2024, balance brought forwards was £27,525, and we received a total of £42,055 from the IDT partnership. Of this amount, £14,165 was granted to projects, £10,474 was allocated to administra>ng the partnership and £43,091 is carried over as funds restricted to Indian projects. The accumula>on of funds is due to the difficul>es in sending funds to Indian projects following the >ghtening of FCRA regula>on in India.
Financial Review
During the year, Future Dharma Fund received a total income of £410,066 (2023: £407,569) and had total costs of £404,770 (2023: £472,649), resul>ng in a posi>ve cash flow of £5,296 (In 2023, we generated a deficit of £65,081). The improved financial performance was mainly due to income staying stable year on year while expenses decreased. In par>cular, our grants programme decreased from £251,074 in 2023 to £186,747 in 2024. This is mainly because we funded less grants to Indian projects, due to complica>ons with sending funds there due to FCRA regula>ons. Other costs also decreased from £221,576 in 2023 to £218,023 in 2024, mainly due to a reduc>on in the size of the team.
Going Concern
Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344
6
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have reviewed forecasts for at least 12 months from the date of approval and recognise that the charity’s con>nued opera>on in that >me horizon is dependent on securing addi>onal funding and managing costs.
The trustees are ac>vely pursuing new income opportuni>es, cost-reduc>on measures, and poten>al restructuring op>ons to ensure sustainability. While these ac>ons provide confidence that the charity will not become insolvent, there remains a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the charity’s ability to con>nue in its current form.
Accordingly, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Further details regarding the adop>on of the going concern basis can be found in the Accoun>ng 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 >mes, 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 organisa>on. Currently the charity’s policy is that uncommi]ed unrestricted funds should meet or exceed 3 months of the charity’s annual expenditure, including known grant liabili>es (except for grants to chari>es that themselves hold reserves). This reserve provides leeway and response >me 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 organiza>on is a Charitable Incorporated Organisa>on, whose only vo>ng members are its charity trustees and was registered as a charity on 25[th] May 2016. The company was established under a cons>tu>on which established the objects and powers of the charity and is governed under the ar>cles of its cons>tu>on.
Organisa9onal structure and appointment of trustees
Future Dharma Fund has a trustee body of up to 7 members who meet between 3 and 6 >mes a year and are responsible for the strategic direc>on 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’ chari>es within the Triratna Buddhist Community who share the same aims and objec>ves as the Future Dharma Fund. Currently these are the Triratna Trust, the Triratna Preceptors College Trust, The Triratna European Chairs Assembly and the Triratna Interna>onal Council.
The trustees are elected and appointed by these partner bodies, not the exis>ng 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 appoin>ng charity. The
Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344
7
Trustees are required to report back to their appoin>ng charity on a regular basis and to represent the strategy and priori>es of the charity that they are represen>ng.
Drawing the trustees from the sister chari>es helps to ensure that trustees will have the necessary skills and perspec>ve 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 chari>es.
Trustee Induc9on and Training
As indicated above, as members of exis>ng chari>es the trustees will have a background in the governance of other Buddhist chari>es. In addi>on, 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 applica>on of resources for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best prac>ce and:
-
Select suitable accoun>ng policies and then apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and es>mates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the CIO will con>nue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accoun>ng records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any >me the financial posi>on of the charity. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preven>on and detec>on of fraud and other irregulari>es.
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 7.4 full >me posts (FTE), including team members who are self-employed. As many roles are part->me and there were a number of headcount changes, in total the charity employed 13 individuals during the course of the year. Collec>vely known as the Future Dharma Team, these people work under the Team Director to implement the aims, objec>ves, strategy and priori>es of the charity and, in par>cular, to conduct fundraising and manage the grant applica>on process. All team members, including the Team Director, are responsible to the trustees.
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, systems or procedures will be established to mi>gate 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 diversifica>on of fundraising will be further explored and developed. Internal control risks have been
Future Dharma Fund. Charity number: 1167344

minimised by the implementa>on of procedures for authoriza>on of financial transac>ons for amounts over defined thresholds, as defined by an expenditure authority limits policy.
The trustees recognise that the charity’s financial forecasts show a dependency on achieving future fundraising targets and securing new funding commitments from partners. In response to this, the trustees are taking ac>ve steps to boost income streams, reduce expenditure where possible, and explore restructuring op>ons to ensure the charity remains sustainable.
The trustees are confident that, through a combina>on of these measures, the charity will be able to con>nue opera>ng and will not become insolvent. However, they acknowledge that there is a material uncertainty in respect of the going concern assessment, which is disclosed in the notes to
Plans for future periods
Future Developments
The Charity will con>nue with the work and ac>vi>es that fulfil its objec>ves and principle ac>vi>es namely, (i) encouraging members and others to live in accordance with the teachings of Buddha, (ii) suppor>ng ordained members of the Triratna Buddhist community and other duly ordained Buddhists, at the discre>on of the charity trustees of the CIO, (iii) maintaining close communica>on with and working under the guidance of the Triratna Buddhist order and in coopera>on with other groups with the same or similar objects, and (iii) using applica>ons 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 interna>onally who share the same aims and objec>ves as the Future Dharma Fund and whose purpose and ac>vi>es serve the strategy and priori>es of the charity.

1.2 Going concern
If there are material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, please provide the following details or state "Not applicable", if appropriate:
| An explanation as to those factors that support the conclusion that the charity is a going concern; Disclosure of any uncertainties that make the going concern assumption doubtful; Where accounts are not prepared on a going concern basis, please disclose this fact together with the basis on which the trustees prepared the accounts and the reason why the charity is not regarded as a going concern. |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have reviewed forecasts for at least 12 months from the date of approval and recognise that the charity’s continued operation in that time horizon is dependent on securing additional funding and managing costs. The trustees are actively pursuing new income opportunities, cost-reduction measures, and potential restructuring options to ensure sustainability. While these actions provide confidence that the charity will not become insolvent, there remains a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the charity’s ability to continue in its current form. Accordingly, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |

| reporting date | |
