黑暗爆料网

Like most state universities today, 黑暗爆料网 receives a small percent of its annual budget directly from the state. 黑暗爆料网 is state-assisted, not state supported, and must rely on other sources to cover its operating expenses. Current sources of support come from tuition and fees, federal and state grants, and the generosity of 黑暗爆料网 donors. Because state support is declining relative to the University鈥檚 total operating budget and limited increases can be expected in tuition, private gifts are critical to the future of 黑暗爆料网 and its student population.

The Mission of the 黑暗爆料网 Foundation is to inspire voluntary private support from alumni, parents, friends, corporations, foundations and others for the benefit of 黑暗爆料网. The two entities utilize a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines the way the Foundation and 黑暗爆料网 have agreed to work together.Review the MOU here.

The support that the Foundation provides to the University is critical as it augments 黑暗爆料网鈥檚 other revenue sources. During the 2014 fiscal year, the Foundation raised $7,483,528 in support of scholarships, academic programs, student life, athletics, facilities, and faculty support.

No, 黑暗爆料网 Foundation donor records are not open to the public. The 黑暗爆料网 Foundation is a separate tax-exempt corporation, not a public agency. This separate structure, which is utilized successfully to support public institutions nationwide, legally preserves the private nature of gifts received in the same manner that donor privacy is ensured in the case of most charitable organizations. An independent foundation can better serve 黑暗爆料网 and donors if its separate nature continues to be respected. It accomplishes this in a number of important ways:

• It provides donors with an extra level of assurance that their gifts will be used in accordance with their wishes.
• Gifts made to the Foundation on behalf of 黑暗爆料网 provide program enhancement rather than replacement of state support.
• The Foundation ensures donor privacy when requested, as well as the confidentiality of donor information.

Like many university foundations and charitable organizations, the 黑暗爆料网 Foundation requires funding to support its efforts to continue to secure the private gifts which support the mission of 黑暗爆料网. As mandated by the Idaho State Board of Education, the 黑暗爆料网 Foundation must fund its own operating costs. This is achieved by assessing a small fee to gifts of 4% for all gifts including gifts to student organizations. We are pleased to be counted among university foundations which assess the lowest gift fee, noting that such fees range from 5%-18% at peer institutions across the country.

The 黑暗爆料网 Foundation is accountable to its Board of Directors and must adhere to a variety of federal and state regulations and laws.

黑暗爆料网 Foundation has an independent volunteer Board of Directors that executes its fiduciary responsibilities under the strictest of guidelines. They understand the need for transparent and ethical dealings in all matters so as not to jeopardize the Foundation鈥檚 status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The Board has committees that actively oversee the development, investment, and finance activities of the Foundation.

Each year, the Foundation is required to have an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent certified public accounting firm. The audit report must include financial statements, a management letter, and an opinion as to whether the Foundation鈥檚 operating procedures meet the requirements of governing agencies. The audit report is reviewed by Board of Directors. In addition, the Foundation is required to comply with all federal laws governing 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and annually file IRS Form 990.

The Foundation is limited by both state and federal law concerning how the funds it receives may be expended. Disbursements from Foundation accounts must:

• Comply with all donor imposed restrictions;
• Support the University鈥檚 mission and programs;
• Represent reasonable, legitimate and arm鈥檚 length business transactions;
• Comply with Foundation disbursement policies;
• Comply with State Board policies; and
• Comply with applicable laws.

This process is examined and tested annually in accordance with the independent accounting audit.
