Our Policies shape how we behave and define what we do
What are the Foundation’s basic principles and what is the structure that sets out how the trustees manage the charity? Accessing our key policy documents will help you understand.
You need to have the confidence that your privacy will be respected. This document sets out how we are complying with the relevant legislation and what needs to be done.
Document sets out the essential framework of our strategy and top line policies that inform both direction and how the Foundation functions. Trustees use this policy as a their touchstone when making decisions. It is helpful to charities wanting to make an application for a grant.
The Foundation’s activities and behaviour needed to deliver its objectives will face a wide range of risks. Although our structure is designed to reduce many risks, there are still others that could come our way. It is important that the we recognise all these risks, evaluate their potential impact and put in place procedures to deal with them. This policy document sets out how we are addressing these challenges.
In practical terms, being a grant making charity demands that an endowment fund is put in place to generate income to finance, in part at least, our Grant Programmes over the long term. The Expendable Endowment Fund is a dedicated investment portfolio with holdings in a range of securities plus deposits and cash. The Foundation’s financial strength determines the size of its Grant Budgets and the reach of its activities. It is important that both policy and management in this area are robust and of the highest standards.
