In Brief

  • At CU, recognizing revenue as a gift occurs when a donor gives an item of value to the University, and the donor neither expects nor receives anything of economic value in return, except as included with fundraising events or life income arrangements.
  • Top areas of concern are: understanding the characteristics of gifts/charitable contributions, and following the appropriate fund accounting policies.
