Introduction

Ben and Miranda Levine established LFF in June 2018 and the charity made its first round of grants in April 2019.

Principal activities and aims

LFF’s Mission and Charitable objectives

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. Whilst the Trustees are mindful of their own obligation to ensure that the charity benefits the public generally, they take some assurance from the fact that recipients of grants are themselves regulated to ensure that they operate for the public benefit.

Levine Family Foundation 2

Trustees’ report Year ended 30 April 2023

Grant making policy

The Trustees meet regularly to consider potential new grantees.

Potential recipients of grants are identified by the Trustees individually in areas where it is perceived that public benefit will be achieved.

Governance, structure and management

Governance

The Levine Family Foundation (LFF) is a registered charity, number 1178749. Ben and Miranda Levine established LFF in June 2018 and made its first round of grants in April 2019.

As listed above, LFF currently has 3 Trustees and one part-time Director of Funding and one part-time Grants Coordinator.

The Trustees meet at least quarterly and are always considering potential new grantees fulfilling the relevant criteria. All current grantees are due to return a logical framework with an update on grant spending and performance to date.

All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

The Trustees in office during the year, except where shown, were as follows:

Trustee
Benjamin Levine Resigned 13 February 2023
Kathleen Levine
Miranda Levine
Julie Macnabb

On agreeing to become a Trustee of the charity, new Trustees would be briefed by the existing Trustees on the history of the Trust, the day-to-day management, the responsibilities of the Trustees, the current objectives and future plans. The Trustees may attend any courses which they feel are relevant to the development of their role and keep up-to-date on any changes in legislation.

The Trustees received no remuneration in respect of their services as a Trustee and were not reimbursed for any expenses during the year.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Levine Family Foundation 3

Trustees’ report Year ended 30 April 2023

Governance, structure and management (continued)

Trustees’ responsibilities statement (continued)

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, applicable Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the charity’s governing document. They 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.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the accounts may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Key management personnel

The Trustees consider that the Trustees and the Director of Funding comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee received any remuneration in the year. Remuneration of the Director of Funding and the Grants Coordinator is reviewed annually by the Trustees and benchmarked against similar jobs in the Charity sector and local area - to ensure they continue to reflect market rates.

Trustees’ report Year ended 30 April 2023

Governance, structure and management (continued)

Structure and management reporting

LFF currently has three Trustees as listed above. The charity has two employees, Melissa Spiteri, Director of Funding, and Nina Levy, Grants Co-ordinator. Melissa has her 20+ years’ experience in the charity sector and gained empathy and knowledge of LFF as a Trustee previously. Nina has a strong background in statutory/institutional grant programme management. The Grants Co-ordinator reports into the Director of Funding. The Director of Funding reports to the LFF Board of Trustees.

Risk management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which LFF is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. No major risks were identified at the date of these financial statements. As a grant giving charity, the Trustees ensure that risks relating to grant giving are managed carefully.

Grant award programme risk management procedures include:

Achievements and performance

The day-to-day management of grants is administered by the Director of Funding and supported by the Grants Co-ordinator. All Trustees are involved in the grant application invitation process, review, scoring and overall award decision-making.

Levine Family Foundation 5

Trustees’ report Year ended 30 April 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

LFF operates a ‘by invitation only’ grants application process each fiscal year. Throughout the year LFF researches and communicates with individuals/organisations whose work is closely aligned to LFF’s giving strategy.

In quarter three of 2022/23 the Trustees selected a small number of individuals and organisations with whom to potentially partner with in the fifth round of LFF grant giving. These invited organisations or individuals were sent the relevant application forms in February 2023 with a deadline for submission of March 2023. The application review and scoring process was completed by the end of April 2023, and the awarding of grant payments occurred throughout the summer of 2023.

Notable outcomes for LFF

A Grants Co-ordinator was recruited and in post by April 2023. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

During 2022/23 LFF’s geographical focus was Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Fundraising statement

LFF hosted its first fundraising event for one of its existing grantees on 17 September 2022. This event was held in Zurich Switzerland at the home of the founding Trustee, Miranda Levine. Attendance to the event by the guests was secured by making a donation via the JustGiving platform. All monies raised through JustGiving were transferred to the grantee organisation the event was being held for. All on site fundraising at the event itself was conducted by the philanthropy and fundraising team of the recipient grantee organisation.

Levine Family Foundation 6

Trustees’ report Year ended 30 April 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

Fundraising statement (continued)

On site donations received at the event were remitted directly to the recipient grantee organisation (LFF was not involved) for whom the event was being held. All costs associated with producing the fundraising event were born privately by the founding Trustee. No complaints were received by the charity with regards to this event or any of the associated fundraising activities.

Reserves policy and financial position

The charity’s policy is to expend the income in as much that the Trustees are able to identify suitable recipients during the year. There is a need for only minimal reserves.

At 30 April 2023, the charity’s unrestricted funds and free reserves were a surplus of £73,077 (30 April 2022 unrestricted funds and free reserves stood at a deficit of £61,224). The Trustees consider that the current level of free reserves matches the parameters set out in the charity’s reserves policy above and they therefore consider free reserves to be adequate. This is because since the year end the charity has received large donations and the value of the assets of the charity is now in excess of the value of the charity’s liabilities, including grant commitments.

Future plans

LFF aims to achieve impactful ocean conservation that benefits both communities and the marine environment. The Board of Trustees would like to move towards funding projects that align to priority focus areas and objectives set out in LFF’s latest 3-5 year strategy outlook: namely that the majority of LFF’s funding will support area-based protection and that our remit will be international. LFF will honour its time-based funding commitments to historical grantees who currently fall outside of its 3-5 year giving strategy.

LFF aims to migrate its email/word based application process to an online platform in time to launch its 2024/25 application for funding round in December 2023.

LFF will continue researching and learning about impact investment opportunities and how to get started. The intention is to do both types of giving under LFF if possible.

At the time of writing this report LFF has invited 10 existing grantees and 3 potential new grantees to apply to its sixth grant-making round in 2024/25. 12 of the applicants are applying to LFF’s main grants programme, and one of the applicants is applying to LFF’s discretionary grant programme.

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 30 April 2023

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of Levine Family Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of Levine Family Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 April 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the accounts. 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 Practice).

In our opinion, the accounts:

Basis for opinion

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 accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts 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.

Levine Family Foundation 9

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 30 April 2023

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the accounts and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the accounts does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 accounts 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 accounts 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 in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the accounts, 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.

Levine Family Foundation 10

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 30 April 2023

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts 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 accounts.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s accounts to material misstatements, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 30 April 2023

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 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.

Principal accounting policies Year ended 30 April 2023

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared for the year ended 30 April 2023 with comparative information given in respect to the year to 30 April 2022.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

There are no significant areas of judgement or key assumptions that affect items in these accounts.

Assessment of going concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these accounts.

The Trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. This is because since the year end the charity has received large donations and the value of the assets of the charity is now in excess of the value of the charity’s liabilities, including total grant commitments. The Trustees therefore are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

Income

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Income is comprised of donations. All income is accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the conditions of the SORP.

Levine Family Foundation 16

Principal accounting policies Year ended 30 April 2023

Expenditure

Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities when incurred and includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises grants payable in promoting and enhancing charitable work carried out by other charitable organisations and the cost of administering the grant programme, together with governance costs (see below). Grants payable are included in the statement of financial activities when approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the donation and has satisfied all related conditions. Grants approved but not paid at the end of the financial year are accrued for. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued for but are noted as financial commitments in the notes to the accounts.

Governance costs include costs which are directly attributable to financial and legal procedures necessary for compliance with statutory requirements and are allocated directly to expenditure on charitable activities.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for nonrecoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

Funds and reserves

As the funds of the charity may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees, all funds and reserves are included as unrestricted funds in the accounts.

Services provided by trustees

For the purposes of these financial statements, no monetary value has been placed on the administrative and other services provided by the Trustees.
