## **Introduction**
In establishing the Randal Foundation in 2017, our Founders were clear in both their focus and the level of their ambition - passionate about making a difference in the world we live in - today. Our vision, to save and significantly improve 1 million lives, is one which directly reflects the goals of our Founders, Dr Nik and Mrs Moni Kotecha.
The need for our intervention through our life-saving work has never been greater. Right now, lives are being lost around the world - lives which could be saved, often, by simple and readily available interventions. Lives are also being destroyed and can be significantly improved - usually by measures which have already been proven to work, and by support which can be made available. Saving and significantly improving lives now, through careful and targeted investment, remains our firm goal.
We are a values-driven Foundation and we aim to encourage organisations and individuals who share our values to work with us; indeed we make an open invitation for this collaboration.
Our ambitions are clear. In the years ahead, we will:

## **Progress in achieving our vision**
We recognise that our vision is most ambitious, but we are already making real progress towards achieving our goals. In the six years since establishing our Foundation, over 192,000 lives have been saved and well over 558,000 lives have been significantly improved through our work. This impact has been enabled through 143 grants throughout 2018 - 2023.
Resourcing our impact
## Defining our outcomes and measuring our impact
Our definitions for ‘lives saved’ and ‘lives significantly improved’ are responsive definitions. These are:
Themes and pillars
## Lives directly saved:
- “An individual whose life is directly saved is a life that was at serious and credible risk of loss before the
- provision of grant funding and, as a result of expenditure of the grant funding directly or indirectly for the benefit of the individual, has significantly lowered the risk of loss of life”.
Chairman’s statement
## Lives significantly improved:
“A significant improvement in the quality of life of an individual is achieved where grant funded expenditure directly enables a long term or permanent betterment of an individual’s life chances, personal circumstances or physical or mental health.”
Our approach to evidencing our impact is robust and is informed by the following:
- our work is wide ranging and Trustees have considered that the broad scope of our grant making means our impact is also wide ranging - lives are both saved and significantly improved in a vast variety of ways
Financial review
Structure, governance & management
- integrity in our approach - our due diligence and Trustee challenge processes prior to grant making provide for interrogation of grantee assertions that lives are saved or significantly improved
- a flexible approach provides scope for our Foundation - we can work to maintain our desire for diverse grant making and making impact in wide ranging ways, responding to both need and opportunity
- we can continue to review and adapt our processes - remaining flexible means we can continue to ensure and stay alert to the fact that lives are saved and significantly improved as a direct result of our charitable activities with each grant award or project decision.
Prospective grantees are required to clearly demonstrate how lives are saved or significantly improved as part of the grant application process. Due diligence undertaken during the application assessment provides challenge to this grantee definition, and further challenge is applied at the point of Trustee consideration and decision making.
## Attribution
Integrity in our approach to attribution is essential, so we consider attribution carefully. Clear evidence for our impact is central to our approach. The range of ways in which lives saved and significantly improved can be attributed robustly through our work include:
- Indirectly - sector support and influencing policy change

Our mission
## **Resourcing our impact - funds to deliver**
As a family Foundation, the resources we have through which to deliver our grant making and manage our organisation have been gifted by our Founders. In establishing our Foundation, the donations they made, and continue to make, are with the sole purpose of enabling our live saving work and achieving our vision.
We recognise that our ambitions for impact could be scaled further, through collaboration with partner institutions, individuals and organisations who share our values and wish to help deliver programmes, with coinvestment around identified initiatives. We will remain alert to this important opportunity and have a goal to grow influential partnerships, through which to achieve greater impact, with greater pace, than would be possible with family funds alone.
Resourcing our impact
Themes and pillars
## Enabling capacity
Specialist service providers have supported the operation of our Foundation since inception, including teams from the following areas:
- Investment management
Chairman’s statement
- Accountancy
- Audit
- Legal advisory
- Other (including specialists in areas such as IT, philanthropy specialists, charity advisors, cyber security)
Financial review
During 2022 and 2023, steps were taken by the Board of Trustees to establish a dedicated Executive Team, to manage the day-to-day affairs of our Foundation. By summer 2023, this comprised dedicated capacity with responsibility for:
- Leadership, relationship management and strategic partner engagement
- Financial management and reporting
- Executive administration and support to the Board in all relevant matters
- Communications (all channels including website) and Foundation events
Structure, governance & management
- Operational delivery and grantee relations
The Executive Team has responsibility to support the Chairman and Board of Trustees, deliver day-to-day operations and have oversight of (and contract manage) our retained, specialist service providers.
Auditor’s report
## Resourcing the long-term
As a first generation family Foundation, we’re alert to the need to conserve and protect the resources which enable our work. We know too, that we must be proactive in the development of our leadership and growing our assets. Both aspects are central if we are to ensure long term continuity for our Foundation. A focus on leadership, operational and investment planning, including clear goals to enable giving by others to drive the work of our Foundation, will assure the long term, and ‘future proof’ our capacity for our philanthropic work.

## **The 5 pillars of giving for our Foundation**
Throughout 2023, Trustees have reviewed and revised our approach to making charitable investments and this has resulted in the development of 5 pillars of giving. This approach, together with the implementation of a strategy in which we have reviewed and re-asserted our themes and focus areas, set out earlier in this document, has been underpinned by a desire from our Trustees to:
- Offer increased clarity to prospective applicants and invited partners regarding criteria for our grant making
- Reduce the overall volume of unsuitable incoming applications - further limiting these by now making structured calls for applications or approaching partners by invitation only, rather than being permanently open for grant enquiries
Resourcing our impact
Themes and pillars
- Reduce ineffective resource deployment, previously committed to assessing many poorly matched applications
- Enable continued giving to UK based and UK led organisations, and those operating around the world
Our five pillars of giving are:
Chairman’s statement
## Pillars of giving
Pillar 1 - UK only, evidence-led unrestricted funding for grass-roots organisations with turnover less than £50,000p/a, collective impact accrues against goals for lives saved and significantly improved. Usually work through partner organisations to make small grants, not by general application.
Pillar 2 - Evidence-led, restricted grants supporting organisations delivering life-saving / significantly improving works. Includes novel, innovative or disruptive work, for organisations operating in the UK and worldwide. Typically grantees have a turnover less than £500,000p/a. Periodic calls made via the website to invite applications only.
Pillar 3 - Major support interventions, actively saving and significantly improving lives. Medium term partnerships with multi-year support. High level impact, UK and worldwide. Typically larger organisations supported - we invest at scale to achieve impact at scale. Trustees identified potential partnerships, not open for general application.
Pillar 4 - Investment to catalyse and drive thought leadership and subsequent delivery, across the focus areas of our Foundation. UK only. Trustee-led investments, by invitation only.
Financial review
Structure, governance & management

Pillar 5 - Flexible pillar for supporting projects in the UK and worldwide, which are valued by our Board and include responding to immediate need, or projects to save lives, ‘just because we must’. Trustee-led investments, by invitation only

## **Chairman’s statement for the year ended 31 December 2023**
2023 has been a year of positive change for the Foundation, with Trustees taking the bold decision to markedly increase the management and co-ordination resources available to the Foundation, with the goals of driving a step change in our organisational infrastructure, helping bring forward an ambitious strategy to shape the path ahead, and much more.
This considerable shift has in turn made additional demands of our Board of Trustees - with an increase in leadership contribution needed to support the step change underway. This increased investment of time and expert advice has been openly made by each Trustee, meaning grant making, together with lives saved and significantly improved has remained at a high level throughout this year, despite the additional activities taken on. Moreover, our Board’s ambition for creating impact through this busy year is not unchanged, rather it is underlined.
Our definitions for ‘lives saved’ and ‘lives significantly improved’, are responsive definitions which have been reviewed and tested through our strategy process - and we remain committed to these definitions. Throughout the year, Trustees have been focused on supporting applications and enquiries which enable our Foundation to deliver against these goals. They have been re-visited for fitness for purpose, during the year - as part of our strategy planning work.

Themes and pillars
Chairman’s statement
## A year of investment in achieving our vision
During the year to December 2023, despite a sustained focus on organisational development, a wide range of grants have been given, with our vision for saving and significantly improving 1,000,000 lives in continual focus by our Trustees. Saving and significantly improving lives today has been achieved through a diverse range of programmes and projects, from supporting IntoUniversity with our largest single grant this year, to supporting small grassroot organisations offering help to those with mental ill-health, and children’s health organisations.
There have been many significant moments within the last year of operation of our Foundation. It is a period in which we have achieved both an increase in awareness of our Foundation, and importantly, significant social impact through our charitable investments.
Countries supported within this period have included in-year and past year grant giving which has delivered programmes the UK, Chad, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda and Zambia. In terms of focus areas for our support, health was the leading support area for the year, followed by mental health and education.

## **Chairman’s statement for the year ended 31 December 2023** cont’d
I continue to be proud of the impact that our Foundation is having - and during 2023 we’ve tackled a major strategic review, underlined our ambitions, strengthened the resources that our Foundation has to hand in order that we can achieve elevated goals for impact, and most of all, we continued to save lives and significantly improve lives in the UK and globally at pace.
We’ve been able to work with many inspirational partner organisations, both as grantees and as co-collaborators in projects where there are shared values and purpose. And looking forward, we’re clear that partnership delivery and partnership development will remain in firm focus. Working together with like-minded organisations, we can achieve so much more, with greater pace and even greater impact. Something each of our Trustees is committed to do.
Achieving this won’t happen just because we wish it to, we know this. So we have maintained and grown our investment in internal processes, systems, policies, core infrastructure and talent within our wider team. We’ve increased our reach and the visibility of our brand through a concerted focus on our communications and public relations. And we have collaborated with new partners and old, underlining our commitment to collaborate so that we can scale our work, raise our voice and bring positive influence to bear, wherever we can.
Creating impact at scale, which we do and seek to continue to do, also needs clear, decisive and supportive leadership. Our Board of Trustees provides this - through their time, expert guidance and their parallel passion for our Foundation, which I am proud to note is just as deep as my own.
Considerable and sustained investment across all these areas in 2023 positions us strongly for a positive year in 2024 and beyond. Through the framework of our strategy, adopted in January 2024, we will drive forward our impact with pace, passion and purpose.

## Reserves policy
The balance on reserves at 31 December 2023 was £10,490,780 (2022: £8,597,895), which are all unrestricted funds at the year end. The Foundation will ensure that it holds sufficient reserves to cover the costs of running the Foundation. The net assets of the Foundation’s are regarded as free reserves and the funds will be retained to make grants and donations in accordance with the Foundation charitable objectives. The Trustees consider that the freely expendable funds are appropriate and sufficient taking account of plans for grants and donations under consideration and in the future.
The Trustees have not designated any specific reserves, but this is kept under review by the Trustees with a view to creating specific reserves and introducing a specific reserves policy if necessary.
Chairman’s statement
Financial review
## Investment policy
The Trustees have implemented an investment policy for the Foundation, with the primary objective of achieving a long-term rate of return in excess of the rate of inflation in order to preserve the purchasing power of the Foundation’s assets and support the perpetual nature of the Foundation’s mission. The performance of, and the target return on, investments is reviewed annually.
Investments are made on a relatively conservative basis to meet the objectives of income and capital appreciation over a full market cycle, although some portion of the funds are available for investments with increased risk in order to generate a potentially greater rate of return.
As part of the investment strategy of the Foundation, the Trustees have agreed that it is important to have a proportion of the funds invested in environmental, social and governance focused investments and that the funds are invested in a manner that is responsible and consistent with the Foundation’s grant making focus to directly save lives, help the socially disadvantaged and improved the quality of life of those in the UK and around the world. Securities of organisations whose business practices are known to have interests adverse to those of the Foundation (as defined by the Trustees) are prohibited from being investments of the Foundation.
## Principle risks and uncertainties
A risk assessment has been carried out which comprises of:
Structure, governance & management

- an annual review of the risks the Foundation might face;
- the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks; and
- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Foundation should those risks materialise.
The continuing process will identify risk areas to which the Foundation is vulnerable and highlight any necessary safeguards that will need to be put in place.
No major risks were identified at the date of these financial statements.

## Leadership recruitment
Prior to mapping out our selection process for Trustees joining our Foundation, Trustees are alerted to, and informed of existing and new rules regarding eligibility and automatic disqualification of charity Trustees. Any amendments to these provisions are circulated automatically to Trustees, and the most up to date guidance will be consulted at each point a recruitment process is considered (and always before commencement).
Trustees are aware of the need for a balance of skills and abilities on our Board - as well as the need for available capacity in all Trustees if we are to achieve our objectives as a charity. A “hands-on” role is expected from all Trustees as we guide our Foundation and grow our impact. In determining the need for additional Trustees therefore we consider current skills, abilities and capacity - as well as horizon scanning for the skill sets and capacity we will need in order to achieve current and future plans. The procedures for electing or appointing new Trustees is set out in overview in our Constitution.

Information on prospective Trustees including professional biographies and/or the findings from formal recruitment processes and/ or references taken up will inform the appointment process.

## Induction and training of new Trustees
We recognise that an appropriately organised induction for all new Trustees is vital. It is a gateway for both new Trustees - helping them to get up to speed with the role, our Foundation and its work, and their legal responsibilities.
Trustees are alert to the need for a strong induction which ensures we can provide evidence that the people in our organisation have an awareness and understanding of our ambitions and aims - but also, essentially, key policies and procedures such as health and safety and data protection. Our Trustee induction programme includes a variety of activities over a period.

## **Auditor’s report to the Trustees**
## Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Randal Charitable Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

## Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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.

Structure, governance & management
## Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees’ Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

Themes and pillars
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 13, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to 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 (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 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.
## The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

Our mission
## **Auditor’s report to the Trustees** cont’d
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:
- obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory framework, that the charity operate in and how the charity is complying with the legal and regulatory framework;
- inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
- discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Charities Act 2011 and the charity’s governing document. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report and remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents.
The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business, challenging judgments and estimates.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Randal Charitable Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Resourcing our impact
Themes and pillars
Chairman’s statement
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are prepared in Pounds Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest Pound Sterling.
Financial review
## 2.2 Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Having carried out a detailed review of the Foundation’s resources and the challenges presented by the current economic climate, the Trustees are satisfied that the Foundation has sufficient cash flows to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least one year from the date of approval of the accounts. The Trustees are also not aware of any material uncertainty that will prevent the Foundation continuing as a going concern.
## 2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Foundation has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

## 2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Foundation’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Themes and pillars
Chairman’s statement
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Financial review
## 2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Foundation; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## 2.6 Taxation
The Foundation is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Foundation is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## 2.7 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/ (Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## 2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Structure, governance & management
Auditor’s report
Statement of financial activities
Balance sheet
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## 2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Foundation anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Foundation makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no critical accounting estimates or areas of judgement that affect these financial statements.
