2 The Ever Necessary Disclaimer... What I am NOT: I am NOT an Attorney I am NOT an Accountant I am NOT giving legal advice What I AM: I am a 12 year employee in a University Development Office I am a veteran (and seasoned) Manager of Gift Processing I am someone with experience which I hope to share April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 2
3 The Best Piece of Advice... The Biggest Thing I ve I Learned is: Your Accounting Office is your Best Friend! April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 3
4 Whose Rules Do You Follow??? Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Your Institution Donor s s Wishes April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 4
5 Various Types of Credit Hard Credit Total # of hard credits must equal gift amount Some Institutions have one 100% hard credit Other Institutions have two 50% hard credits, etc. Soft or Vehicle Credit As many and to whom you wish (internal) Whomever your institution wishes to credit for the gift Recognition Credit Possibly to only one entity Whom do you ultimately want to give credit? April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 5
6 Definition of a Donor Bruce Hopkins defines donor as the maker of a donation - a transferrer to a donee. The IRS defines a donor as someone who makes a contribution directly to a qualified organization or legal representative of that organization, for the use of a legally enforceable trust for that organization or in a similar legal arrangement. It must NOT be set aside for use by a specific person. April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 6
7 Another Definition of a Donor Management Reporting Standards for Educational Institutions defines donors as those individuals or organizations that transmit a gift or grant to a qualified institution. In those cases where a contribution passes through several entities, the last of the entities through which it passes before being received by the donee should be cited as the donor. April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 7
8 Who is the Donor? Who would you record as the legal donor in the following situation? Check received from: John Doe, MD Inc. Does John Doe, the person, or John Doe, MD Inc., the business, receive the legal credit?

9 Who is the Donor? Who would you record as the legal donor in the following situation? Check received from the Charitable Gift Fund of Fidelity Corp., indicating that we should send an acknowledgment to Jane Smith. Who gets the legal credit: Jane Smith or the Charitable Gift Fund? It Depends! Donor Advised Fund vs. Donor Directed Fund April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 9
10 Who is the Donor? Who would you record as the legal donor in the following situation? Check received from Bob Jones with a note explaining that it is actually a gift from Sally Johnson.

13 Written Acknowledgments/Tax Receipt Required for all contributions of $250 or more (except quid pro quo- $75) in the U.S. and for any contribution in Canada in order to claim a charitable deduction. Canceled checks are no longer sufficient. Donor is responsible for obtaining. Substantiation to donor must be contemporaneous (in time for tax filing). Charities can avoid providing this documentation if they report qualifying contributions directly to the IRS. Procedures for doing this have not been developed. April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 13
14 More on Written Acknowledgments Written acknowledgments must provide the amount contributed (or description, not value, of non-cash property contributed in the U.S.- in Canada you must state the value) and a statement indicating whether or not any goods or services were provided in exchange for the gift.

20 April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 20
21 Auctions A donor contributing an item to be used in a charity auction is eligible for a tax deduction related to the item donated. Provide donor with a Gift-In In-Kind receipt. Items purchased at auction: Only the amount, if any, in excess of the fair market valued of an item purchased can be considered a charitable contribution. Auction rules are the same April 2005 CASE Annual Conference for Senior Advancement Services Professionals 21
22 Gifts of Service & Discounts NOT tax-deductible! deductible! Yes, the same in Canada. But the way to get around it is to pay for the services and the donor can write a check back for which you can issue a receipt. This is acceptable to CRA. C NOT reportable under CASE guidelines What about Donor Recognition? Do Not Feed to Accounting? Do Not Issue Gift Receipt! -or- Issue 1099 to donor Pay full amount, write check back to Institution Donor must show INCOME and CONTRIBUTION! Be Careful!!!
