Somerville Donor’s Report | 3FOR GIFTS RECEIVED 1.8.08 - 31.7.09From the PrincipalThank you for making a difference…This donor thank you report for the financial year2008-09 is particularly important to me for severalreasons. In one of the perhaps most challenging yearsfor fundraising in recent decades, it is particularlyheartening that more than 800 donors supported theCollege generously by donating over £1 million inregular donations, major gifts and legacies. A further£550,000 was pledged by donors who will supportthe College in the coming years. This generosity ishumbling and your support is absolutely vital to theCollege as it enables us to continue to deliver coreaspects of Somerville’s mission; it provides supportfor talented students in need, it helps to secure ourtutorial system by providing funding for fellowshipsand it offers essential help with maintaining ourCollege facilities. On behalf of the Fellows andstudents, I would like to express my warmest thanksto you all for supporting us in a year which has, infinancial terms, been an exceptionally difficult one.

4 | Somerville Donor’s ReportFOR GIFTS RECEIVED 1.8.08 - 31.7.09This report is also very important to mebecause it is my last opportunity to expressmy thanks before I retire as Principal of theCollege. During my 14 years at Somerville,it has been heartening to experience thegenerosity of alumni and friends. It has beenan inspiration to witness the dedicationand commitment of donors at every leveland I have thoroughly enjoyed workingwith you all to strengthen the College’sposition. Fundraising has always beencentral to Somerville’s existence and thiswill be even more evident in the decadesto come. Decreasing Government supportand accelerated pressures on the College’smodest endowment have made it a challengeto sustain our world-class educational andresearch environment; your continuedcommitment to support the College withdonations of all sizes is invaluable.The Somerville Campaign was successfullylaunched last summer and many of you havealready responded with encouragementand further donations. Many of thesedonations will form part of the report for thenext financial year. The determination ofalumni and friends to help us to reach ourambitious target of raising £25 million insupport of student bursaries, endowment offellowships and the construction of two newstudent accommodation buildings on theRadcliffe Observatory Quarter site is inspiring.Indeed, it is your generosity which gave usthe confidence that we can be successful inreaching our challenging campaign target.More than £13 million has been raised to dateand the Somerville Campaign will be at theheart of our endeavours for the years to come.As Principal of Somerville it has been a greathonour to have been entrusted with the taskof sustaining our founders’ vision of a liberaland pioneering education and this can notbe achieved without your vital support. Yourcommitment to making a difference providesthe means to secure Somerville’s ethos andeducation for generations to come.With my most sincere thanks,DAME FIONA CALDICOTTPrincipalApril 2010

Somerville Financial Report | 231.8.08 - 31.7.09In spite of continued prudent and efficient management ofresources, the underlying financial position of the Collegeremains of concern – Somerville is constantly strivingto maintain the highest academic standards, relating tothe core purpose of the College, against an extremelydifficult financial background with continued reductionof statutory funding, essential expenditure on buildingrefurbishment and inflationary increases in other costs.Against such a challenging background, thefinancial support from alumni and friendsof the College has once again been a keyfactor in enabling the College to fulfil itsobjectives. As a result of this, Somerville hada surplus of £794,000 for the year endingJuly 2009, excluding the restricted donationsand legacies transferred to the endowment.This compared with a surplus of £133,000for the previous year. The main reason forthis satisfactory outcome was the surplus of£615,000 achieved on the sale of a collegehouse at 179 Banbury Road which was nolonger required for student accommodation.The College continued to benefit fromlegacies and donations with income of£856,000 from unrestricted legacies and£190,000 from unrestricted donations.There was a significant increase in incomefrom conference and commercial eventswhich was offset by a further reduction ininvestment income and interest due to theimpact of the economic recession. Therewere some major improvements to buildingsand facilities which were capitalised, asrequired under the SORP format of accounts.Routine expenditure on buildings for repairsand renewals decreased when compared tothe previous year. Under the SORP format,increases in fixed assets have to be fundedfrom the Free General Reserve. This meantthat the surplus achieved this year wasagain fully used to finance expenditureon essential building works with the neteffect being that the Free General Reserveremained at zero.

The return for the year on theCollege’s investments was -10.4% which wasdisappointing but considered acceptablein the circumstances. The College’s maininvestment portfolio is managed by NewtonInvestment Management Ltd under adiscretionary mandate and they fell below theset performance benchmark by 5.6%. Adviceon the College’s investments is also providedby alumni with significant experience ininvestment management. The value of theendowment maintains Somerville’s positionnear the middle of the league table of Oxfordcolleges ranked by endowment income.However, the use of the majority of thisendowment funding is restricted by wishesof the donors, which means that the incomemust be put to the funding of specific subjectsor activities. Currently the majority of thesefunds can be used but restricted funds doreduce the College’s level of flexibility toadapt should our needs change in the future.Only 60% of the cost of our senior teachingposts is covered by sufficient endowment topreserve them in perpetuity.
