The investment income consists of COIF income shares. Since changing to the receipts and payments basis the assets have not been revalued. 63,579 COIF income shares are held as permanent endowment to generate income for the general purpose of the foundation. The investment is therefore held in a restricted fund, while the income generated is transferred to the unrestricted fund as it is earned.
A legacy received in 2000, the sale proceeds of land in 2001 and a donation in 2014 have been invested in 4,783 COIF income share which are held to generate income for the general purposes of the Foundation. The investment is, therefore, held in an unrestricted fund (see note 3).
