11 Definitions of a Donor 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. CASE Management Reporting Standards defines donors as those individuals or organizations that transmit a gift or grant to a qualified institution. In 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. CASE Gift Processing Workshop 11
12 2 Tips for determining the donor Ak Ask the questions. Whose asset was iti immediately ditl before bf it was transferred to your organization Who is the check writer/signer Be cautious though - some parties act as an agent for the donor CASE Gift Processing Workshop 12
13 Whose Rules Do You Follow? Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Your Institution Donor s o sw Wishes CASE Gift Processing Workshop 13
14 Types of Gift Credit Legal Credit (or hard credit) is given to whoever made the contribution Total # of hard credits must equal gift amount Some institutions have one 100% hard credit Other institutions have two 50% hard credits CASE Gift Processing Workshop 14
15 Types of Gift Credit Soft Credit (or recognition credit) is primarily for recognition purposes Can give to as many as you wish Whomever your institution wishes to credit f for the gift CASE Gift Processing Workshop 15
16 When is a gift complete In general, a gift is complete when the donor has relinquished control of the asset to your institution Specific rules apply for cash, credit cards & securities Important for you to understand the impact of gift date for your donors Donor is responsible for deciding when to claim the deduction CASE Gift Processing Workshop 16
17 Charitable IRA Rollover Provision Pension Protection Act of 2006 Signed into Law August 2006 Provides tax incentives for donors age 70 ½ or older to contribute IRA assets to educational institutions and other non-profits CASE Gift Processing Workshop 17
18 How it works Individuals aged 70 ½ and older may transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from an IRA to a qualified charity This qualified charitable distribution is excluded from the donor s taxable income CASE Gift Processing Workshop 18
19 The Benefits of the IRA Rollover Qualified distributions are excluded from the donor s adjusted gross income The charitable distribution may be applied toward your Required Minimum Distribution Distribution is not counted as part of the maximum allowable tax deduction. Allows donor s to make charitable contributions in amounts over 50% of their adjusted gross income CASE Gift Processing Workshop 19
20 The Benefits of the IRA Rollover Distribution may reduce income and reduce the percentage of social security income subject to taxation Since the distribution generates neither taxable income nor an itemized tax deduction even donors who do not itemize can benefit CASE Gift Processing Workshop 20
21 Points to Remember Qualified charitable distributions cannot be paid to the account holder. Distributions must me paid directly to the charity IRA rollovers cannot be used to fund split interest or life income gifts such as charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts Donors may not receive quid pro quo benefits CASE Gift Processing Workshop 21
22 Points to Remember Distribution cannot be made to private foundations, donor advised funds or supporting organizations Charity must provide written acknowledgement to donor CASE Gift Processing Workshop 22

24 Pension Protection Act 2006 Recapture Rule GIK s If disposed of after 1 year but in les than 3, the donor must include as ordinary income he difference between the claimed deduction and the donor s basis or sales price unless the charity provides the discussed certification 8282s must now be filed if the property is sold within 3 years ( not 2) $10,000 penalty for claiming related use when really unrelated CASE Gift Processing Workshop 24
25 Donor-advised Funds and Donor Directed Funds CASE Gift Processing Workshop 25
26 Donor-advised Funds The donor transfers (irrevocably) assets into the fund Donor gets the tax deduction at the time of the transfer Donor can later recommend where the funds should be distributed Common DAFs include Vanguard Charitable Endowment, Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund CASE Gift Processing Workshop 26
27 Donor-advised Funds (DAF) DAF are subject to rules governing private foundations Gifts/Grants cannot pay pledges No one associated with the fund can receive goods or services in consideration of distribution DAF are more common than DDF CASE Gift Processing Workshop 27
28 Donor Directed Funds Donor retains control over assets in the fund Organization acts as an administrator of the donor funds Donor directs what contributions are made by the fund; fund managers do not have approval/discretion Donor does not receive tax deduction at the time of the contribution to the fund DDF are uncommon CASE Gift Processing Workshop 28

37 Written Disclosure & Quid Pro Quo An organization ation must provide a written disclosure statement to a donor who makes a payment exceeding $75 partly for goods and services provided by the organization. A contribution made by a donor in exchange for goods or services is known as a Quid pro quo contribution. In these situations, the disclosure must inform donor that the tax-deductible amount is limited to the excess of the amount contributed over the value of goods or services provided. Disclosure must also provide donor with a good-faith estimate of the value of such goods or services. CASE Gift Processing Workshop 37
38 Safe Harbor Rules (U.S) Quid Pro Quo receipts are not required when: Fair market value of all benefits received in connection with the payment does not exceed the lesser of 2% of the gift amount or $89 (2007) OR Gift is $44.50 (2007) or more and the cost of all benefits given does not exceed the IRS low-cost articles minimum of $8.90 (2006) AND The only benefit the donor received consisted of token items bearing the institution s name or logo CASE Gift Processing Workshop 38
39 Safe Harbor Information The Safe Harbor Rules change annually. They are published in the last IRB of each year (Internal Revenue Bulletin). CASE Gift Processing Workshop 39
40 Example If a donor gives a charity $100 and receives a concert ticket valued at $40, the donor has made a quid pro quo contribution. In this example, the charitable contribution part of the payment is $60. Even though the deduction is less than $75, a disclosure statement must be sent because the donor's payment (quid pro quo contribution) is more than $75. If a receipt is sent for payment under $75, it must show quid pro quo info. Also remember, solicitation material must always mention quid pro quo. CASE Gift Processing Workshop 40
41 Other Info on Goods & Services Value of Goods and Services Disclosure statement must always be included on the receipt. Up to a $1,000 penalty per failure to disclose or improper disclosure for your organization AND your organization s President, Chairperson of CEO.

Rights or privileges given must fall below the minimums listed under quid pro quo. CASE Gift Processing Workshop 41
