Office of University Advancement Page 6.
Charitable donations are NOT: • Payment for a raffle ticket • Payment earmarked for an individual • Volunteer time • Gift conditional on a future event (i.e. give stock but retain voting rights for the rest of the year, or give artwork but retain control of its location). • The use of property (office space, condo/time share) • Where the donor receives goods or services in exchange for the gift (“quid pro quo”) with a fair market value equal to, or exceeding that of the gift. • In exchange for UMass Boston endorsing a product or service. • Expenditures made for the purpose of influencing legislation.
