                                Is it common for an education foundation to maintain a reserves policy? If so, does anyone have an example of one?

                            Yes, it is common and best practice. Reserves were particularly important with the onset of the pandemic for operational costs. The policy varies, but is typically a percentage of the income received annually and is reflected in the budget. The percentage is typically 10-20%.
