## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the period ended 31 December 2024 

The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association, the requirements of a directors’ report as required under company law, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## Objectives and activities 

## Purposes and aims 

The Charity's purposes are as set out in the objects contained in the Foundation’s memorandum of association and are restricted specifically, in each case only for the public benefit, to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Directors see fit from time to time.  These include, in particular but not limited to, advancing the education of people, the advancement of healthcare and protection of the environment in each case for the public benefit by providing grants to organisations focussed on education, healthcare and protection of the environment. 

The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the Charity each year. This report looks at what the Charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The Trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the Charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the Trustees ensure the Charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

The Trustees 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 its future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

Greater Share is piloting an innovative philanthropic investment model that harnesses the expertise of the world’s top performing private equity funds and highest impact NGOs to solve complex global challenges. Greater Share’s first fund, The Greater Share Education Fund (“the Fund”), is focused on closing the education gap and enacting real, measurable change on children’s lives across the globe by providing selected NGOs with long-term, unrestricted funding. 

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) face a reality where short-duration grants are the norm and fundraising consumes outsized organizational resources. They need assurance of substantial long-term funding to hire the talent and make the resource investments necessary to implement and scale programs and create systemic change.

The Greater Share Foundation 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the period ended 31 December 2024 

Greater Share is a unique and repeatable philanthropic investment model.  Individuals or investing entities invest in top tier private equity funds through Greater Share, thereby generating long term funding for NGOs while also expecting a financial return. 

Top-tier private equity firms amplify investor contributions by donating 100% of fees and carry on every dollar invested by Greater Share into their funds. 

Ultimately, our rigorously selected NGOs receive long-term unrestricted funding, as well as probono support from Greater Share. 

Greater Share’s first fund (and first portfolio of NGOs) is focused on Education, but we aim to repeat this model across different sectors. 

## Achievements and performance 

The Charity's main focus for 2024 was to raise as much investor commitment to the Fund as possible in order to maximise the long-term flow of funds to the chosen education NGOs. 

In a challenging fundraising environment, the Trustees are delighted to report that by the end of 2024, commitments to the Fund amounted to $51.675m by December 2024 ($35m in 2023).  The Foundation’s operating budget and staffing were accordingly revised in the second half of 2024 to align with the fee revenue from a $52m Fund.  The fundraising window for this first fund was extended to the end of June 2025 resulting in a final Fund commitment size of $53.175m. 

This successful fundraising proved investors are attracted to the Greater Share philanthropic model despite testing circumstances in the private equity sector. 

The investor commitments will be drawn down into the Fund over a period of approximately 5 years during which time the Fund will make its investments in underlying private equity funds. The benefits to the Charity are expected to be modest until the private equity investments begin to realise their investments. 

The Charity’s Education Committee, appointed in 2021 to conscientiously select and monitor high-impact NGOs for The Greater Share Education Fund, continued to support the organisation in 2024. 

By March 2025, the Fund had already made two tranches of initial grants totalling $1.1m to eight top-tier NGOs. Benefits began to flow to the Charity’s NGOs in March 2024 as the first tranche of waived fees for the period to 31 December 2023 from the private equity general partners was donated to the Charity, with a second donation in March 2025.  In line with the private equity lifecycle, benefits will remain small in scale until the fund begins to see distributions from exited private equity investments in future years.

For the period ended 31 December 2024 

The Charity’s Investment Committee, appointed in 2021 to carefully select and monitor highimpact private equity funds for investment by The Greater Share Education Fund, continued to support the organisation in 2024. 

The Fund ended the period with committed capital from investors of $51.675m and had called on 40% of investor committed capital. By the end of the reporting period the Investment Committee had approved commitments to a total of 8 Investee Funds across 6 separate private equity firms resulting in 67% of the Fund’s own committed capital being allocated to underlying Investee Funds. 

## Beneficiaries of our services 

All eight NGO partners have an intentional focus on groups who have been historically disadvantaged, have rigorous evidence of impact, and have a systemic approach to change that targets the root causes of educational inequalities and the systems that perpetuate them. The NGO partners are aeioTU, AllChild (formerly West London Zone), CAMFED, Kaivalya Education Foundation (KEF), KIPP Foundation, London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), National Institute for Student Success (NISS), Teach For All. 

As donations begin to flow to the NGOs, a first impact assessment is planned by Greater Share in 2025 to assess the extent to which each NGO makes strides towards greater scale, increased outcomes for the children and young people they serve, and is influencing the education systems within which they operate. 

## Financial review 

During the period under review, the Charity’s main focus was on continuing to raise investor commitments for the first fund to maximise the size of the Fund during the fundraising window. The model is one of longer-term charitable funding and the cash flows largely mimic the lifespan of a private equity fund i.e. minimal revenue in the initial investing stage with the potential for large returns in the latter years. 

As fundraising in the US proved less strong than anticipated, the organisation adjusted its cost base to match revenues from a $52m fund, with a majority of investors based in the UK. This led to a gradual reduction of US-based staff and the administrative function was consolidated in the UK. 

Income received by the Foundation in the year comprises: 

- Priority profit share (establishment fees and ongoing fees) generated by the Greater Share Education Fund; 

- Donations from industry partners of fund administration and fund management fees paid by the Greater Share Education Fund and the Greater Share GP S.a.r.l.; 

- Donations in advance of returns being realised from a minority of investors in the Fund and associated gift aid (2023 only);

## • Services in kind 

The Trustees extend their gratitude for the generous pro-bono support that has been provided for legal services, communications, management consultancy and operational functions during this and the prior period. 

Simpson Thacher and Bartlett LLP have provided legal support to the Greater Share group for a value of £763,298 in the period to 31 December 2024 (2023: £1,443,511).  This support is ongoing. 

Greenbrook Advisory supported Greater Share over a four-month period from SeptemberDecember 2024 with communications, digital strategy and content development.  These services were valued at £65,000 (2023: nil).  Greenbrook continue to support Greater Share in 2025. 

Costs of the charitable group are predominantly salaries and professional fees, all of which were incurred in the course of fundraising activities in the period to 31 December 2024. 

The Charity funded The Greater Share SC Limited through charitable loans through the start-up phase hence this subsidiary showed a loss for the prior period.  During the year The Greater Share SC Limited transitioned to being funded by service fees and showed a profit for the period under review. 

The Charity also funded The Greater Share SC US LLC through charitable loans through the startup phase hence this subsidiary showed a loss for the prior period and the period under review. In 2024, following the final close of the Fund, The Greater Share SC US LLC ceased to provide active administrative services with all administrative services transferred to the UK. 

The Charity will not maintain reserves other than to ensure sufficient funding for the ongoing administration of the Greater Share group.  The intention of the Charity is to donate all surplus revenue to the Charity’s NGOs. 

Donations of waived fees from the General Partners of our private equity investee funds, carried interest donations and donations from our investors of realised gains (with the exception of donations made by the Founding Partners) are all required to be donated to our NGOs and cannot be used for the administration costs of the Charity 

## Principal risks and uncertainties 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, relating to operational areas of the Charity, its investments, and its finances. 

Risks are regularly reviewed at Board meetings, outlining key risks the Charity faces and mitigating controls. The Trustees believe that by monitoring reserve levels, ensuring strong financial

The Greater Share Foundation 

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the period ended 31 December 2024 

controls, and examining regularly the operational and business risks faced by the Charity, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks. 

## Going Concern 

The trustees have assessed the use of going concern and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. 

Donations of priority profit share will continue for the life of the Greater Share Education Fund and similar donations will flow from future Greater Share Funds.  These financial statements show a positive reserves position which is expected to remain positive. There is therefore no reason to doubt that the Charity will continue to be a going concern. 

## Risks pertaining to the Greater Share Fund 

The Greater Share model aims to provide its investors with attractive returns from capital invested into a portfolio of a selected group of private equity funds held within the Fund, while reducing investment risks through diversification. 

The Fund will generally be subject to the risks applicable to other types of private equity investments and additional risks due to, in part, its investment in private equity Investee Funds. In addition, the Investee Funds in which the Fund will invest (and such Investee Fund’s underlying portfolio companies) may be subject to similar risks and potential conflicts of interest as, and additional and/or different constraints than, the Fund. 

An investment in the Fund involves significant financial, operational and other risks, including the risk of loss of the entire amount invested, and may not be suitable for all investors. 

Therefore there is significant risk and uncertainty around the volume and timing of donations to the partner NGOs, due to the risks and uncertainty inherent in private equity investment. 

## Fundraising 

The main focus of the Charity’s activities in the period under review was devoted to Fundraising. Fundraising in the context of the Greater Share model entails raising awareness of the model and securing private and institutional investors willing to invest in the Fund.  In the current period, all activity was aimed at maximising the committed funds in The Greater Share Education Fund. The initial fundraising window of the Fund closed at the end of June 2024, however this window was extended to 30 June 2025. 

The Charity did not use any external professional fundraisers or commercial participators.  All fundraising activities complied with the relevant regulations and there was no non-compliance with any code.  No complaints were received and only high net worth and/or professional investors were approached for potential investment in the Fund.  No fundraising activities are undertaken by third parties.

For the period ended 31 December 2024 

## Plans for the future 

The Fund closed to new commitments in June 2025.  The focus of the Charity in 2025 and 2026 is to: 

- Provide long term, flexible grants to NGOs; 

- Maximise the value of the Greater Share network to partner NGOs through pro bono services and connections, by stewarding their relationships with investors, private equity partners and pro bono service providers; 

- Monitor the impact of the NGO partners, and their ongoing alignment with Greater Share’s Theory of Change, and suitability for our portfolio; 

- Raise awareness of the Greater Share model which generates additional, long term and flexible funding for social impact organisations. 

Looking ahead, the charity is developing plans to replicate its innovative philanthropic model in another area of need and has commenced strategic work towards raising a second fund with a different focus. 

## Structure, governance and management 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 9 September 2021 and registered as a charity on 31 May 2022. 

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.

Greater Share’s Education Committee, chaired by Liesbet Steer, is tasked with conscientiously selecting and monitoring high-impact NGOs for the Fund to support. Greater Share’s Investment Committee, chaired by Graham Elton, carefully selects and monitors top performing funds for investment. 

The Board of Trustees are also the directors of the subsidiary companies located in the United Kingdom.  The Chair of the Board of Trustees, Daniel Paul Fletcher, is also a director of the subsidiary companies based in the United States and Luxembourg, providing a point of continuity and consistent communication across the group. 

The Board of Trustees met formally once a month to discuss Charity and group matters in 2024. In 2025 meetings are held every two months.  All substantive decisions are taken by or ratified by the Board of Trustees.

## Public Benefit statement 

The Trustees confirm they have complied with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, “Charities and Public Benefit”.

## Remuneration policy for key management personnel 

The remuneration of key management personnel is set by the Board of Trustees having regard to the industry norms for such positions in the jurisdiction of employment and with reference to affordability based on the Charity’s cash flow forecasts. 

The Charity employed two short term key management personnel in the period, a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Operating Officer, in order to maximise fundraising efforts in the United States while The Greater Share Education Fund was open for new investment.  Their remuneration was commensurate with the norm for their positions in the United States. 

As fundraising efforts in the United States came to a close in mid-2024, and a slight majority of investors are based in the United Kingdom, the Charity recruited an Executive Director in the United Kingdom, appointed January 6, 2025. Their remuneration was set with reference to UK industry norms and affordability based on the Charity’s cash flow forecasts.

For the period ended 31 December 2024 

## Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees 

The Trustees (who are also directors of The Greater Share Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company or group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the Trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware 

- The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the Charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 December 2024 was 4 (September 2023: 4). The Trustees are members of the Charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## The Greater Share Foundation 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of The Greater Share Foundation (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the period ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 group’s and of the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 

## 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 group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company 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. 

## 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 Greater Share Foundation'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.

To the members of 

## The Greater Share Foundation 

## Other Information 

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the group financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group financial statements 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 group 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 group 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. 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- The information given in the trustees’ annual report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements 

- The trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- The parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- Certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- The directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Independent auditor’s report 

To the members of 

## The Greater Share Foundation 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 group’s and the parent charitable company’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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts. 

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. 

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 are set out below. 

## Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the group’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

14 



Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## The Greater Share Foundation 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the group from our professional and sector experience. 

- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation.  This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

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.

The Greater Share Foundation 

Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 31 December 2024 

- 1 Accounting policies 

- a) Statutory information 

The Greater Share Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. 

The registered office address is The Greater Share Foundation, c/o Simpson Thacher and Bartlett LLP, Citypoint, One Ropemaker Street, London, EC2Y 9HU. 

## b) Basis of preparation 

The financial statements 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 UK 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 Companies Act 2006. 

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly-owned subsidiaries The Greater Share Education FP Limited, The Greater Share GP S.a r.l (registered in Luxembourg), The Greater Share SC Limited, The Greater Share SC LLC (registered in USA) and The Greater Share IA Limited on a line by line basis. Transactions and balances between the charity and its subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the entities are disclosed in the notes of the charity's balance sheet. A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. A summary of the result for the year is disclosed in the notes to the accounts. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. 

## c) Public benefit entity 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## d) Going concern 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The charity has positive net assets at year end. The group structure provides that revenue will flow to the Greater Share Foundation as a result of Priority Profit Share earned from the Fund for the foreseeable future.

The Greater Share Foundation 

Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 31 December 2024 

- 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

- e) Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income comprises gifts from individuals and other organisations, Established Priority Profit Share (EPPS) and Priority Profit Share (PPS). Gifts from individuals and other organisations also includes waived investment management fees which are then donated. 

EPPS income represents a fixed payment of 2% of an investors contribution to the investment fund, paid as a one-off payment and recognised upon receipt. 

PPS income represents ongoing priority profit share income based on 0.5% of investor commitments to the Fund, payable every six months in advance. 

- f) Donations of gifts, services and facilities 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. 

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

- g) Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

- h) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for charitable purposes. 

- i) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified as a cost of raising funds, support or governance cost. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

- j) Grants payable 

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity. 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

The Greater Share Foundation 

## Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 31 December 2024 

## 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

## k) Allocation of support costs 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. The cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned as 90% to costs of raising funds and 10% charitable activities to represent an estimate of time associated with each separate activity. 

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity.  These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. 

## l) Investments in subsidiaries 

- Investments in subsidiaries are at cost. 

## m) Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## n) Cash at bank and in hand 

- Cash at bank and cash 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. 

## o) Creditors and provisions 

- Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## p) Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
