L&S Gift Management: Depositing Gifts, Gifts in Kind, and Gift Acknowledgment

This series focuses primarily on gift acceptance and the financial administration of Foundation funds and 233 projects. For more information on development and donor stewardship, contact the L&S Office of Strategic Communications and Advancement. For any question on gift funds, contact Jana Valeo or John Varda.

Is it a Gift or a Grant?

In some cases it may be difficult to distinguish between a gift and a sponsored project/grant. Funds that meet the criteria of a sponsored project/grant must be run through Research and Sponsored Projects (RSP) as a grant and cannot be deposited as a gift. Further information about how to distinguish gifts from sponsored projects can be found here, but this is not a determination you need to make on your own. Please contact Jana Valeo or John Varda for assistance.

Before accepting any donations for deposit, review the Gift Funds Policy UW-3010 to make sure the donation meets the criteria of a gift and that the donor identity authentication process is followed if necessary. Additional policy information can be found at the Gifts section of the Division of Business Services website, as well as the Gift Acceptance Policy at WFAA.
