礼品及赞助奖项

的指导方针

这些指导方针是为了协助部门业务人员, 教师, and staff in determining which office to work with when seeking and applying for external funding opportunities, 如何处理奖项, 以及在哪里存入收到的资金, 尤其是在丹佛州立大学程序不明确的情况下.

关键术语和定义

• 赞助研究办公室 & 程序: supports 教师 and staff in obtaining external funding for your research and programs.

描述

• 学校收到的礼品和赞助奖的形式多种多样, 反映了赞助商的多样性及其目的.
• The language used by a donor or sponsor in providing support is generally the source for making a distinction between a sponsored award and a gift; however, it is often difficult to determine from the wording of the governing document whether a receipt of funds is a sponsored award or a gift (see table below for language).
• 当有疑问时, consult either OSRP or Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) in University Advancement, these offices will work together make the final determination as to whether the award in question shall be treated as a sponsored award or a gift.

赞助的奖项

• A sponsored award is 来自外部实体(如私人基金会)的资金, 公司 or governmental agency for an activity with a defined scope and purpose undertaken by the University with the expectation of an outcome that directly benefits the provider.
• 赞助的奖项, 其中包括赠款和合同, bind the University to a set of specific terms and conditions and involve a related reciprocal transfer of something of value to the sponsor. 在一般情况下, contracts contain a more precisely stated expectation of a definable work product on some set schedule as a condition of payment than do grants. Contracts also generally provide for tighter control by the sponsor over the scope of work and utilization of funds.
• 赞助奖项收取间接费用, 无论是否在奖项中注明, unless the sponsor has a written policy that precludes such recovery and the University has accepted the award with this restriction. 适用的费率是大学认可的费率.
• 由私人基金会赞助奖项, 公司, 企业基金会和政府机构由 OSRP. The CFR team within University Advancement should be kept informed of all corporate and foundation activities and receive copies of all correspondence related to such activities.

礼物

• 支持 of the University that does not include the above conditions (see Table of Indicators below) is viewed as a gift and is processed through University Advancement.
• 礼物是自愿的, non-reciprocal transfer of money or property from a donor to an institution and its purposes are directly related to the University’s mission.  The donor may be an individual, a foundation, a 公司, or a non-profit organization.  The donor does not expect anything of value in return other than recognition and hoped-for impact.  The donor does not expect anything of value in return other than recognition and does not exert control over expenditure of the funds.
• A gift may meet the interests of the donor and can be restricted or unrestricted.  A restricted gift is a contribution designated for a specific purpose, program, or project.  如果捐赠人没有指定任何限制, the gift is unrestricted and the institution allocates the funds according to its own discretion.  只有 进步办公室/密歇根州立大学丹佛基金会 可以代表大学接受礼物吗. Although a donor may place some restrictions on the use or disposition of a gift and may require a report that demonstrates that the donor’s wishes have been met, 这些条款并不能使该捐赠成为赞助奖. Such “restricted gifts” essentially create a fiduciary responsibility in which the University, 通过接受礼物, 是否有义务执行捐赠者的意愿.

如何区分

• 无单一指示器, 本身, 区分捐赠与赞助计划(“捐赠”), “授予”或“奖励”).  Sponsored award instruments may include some or all of the requirements and conditions listed below. 礼物 may be unrestricted or may include some or all of the restrictions listed. The language used by a donor or sponsor is generally the source for making a distinction between a sponsored award and a gift.
• 如果资金的特点属于这两类, the following factors will be taken into consideration for determining whether the funding is a gift or a grant.  The presence of any single factor does not represent the condition of a gift or a grant.  确定一笔交易是赠与还是赠与, 所有这些因素将同时考虑.  In cases where there is a question as to whether an activity for which external funding is sought constitutes a grant or a gift, OSRP and CFR personnel will work together to determine what procedures should apply.
