Purpose Restricted Release

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Hello,

There seems to be very little on the forum and from previous conferences on Purpose Restrictions and I am wondering how other organizations handle this area.

Tessitura suggests that you use Fund to restrict a donation for Purpose. But how do various companies deal with the partial release of restrictions of these funds?

Here's an example: A donor gives 50k of purpose restricted funds, but only 10k of it is released in this fiscal (aka used). Do you adjust the gift so 40k is now in the purpose restricted fund and 10k is in an unrestricted fund?

It also seems that the same question applies to Capital restricted funds, so information on how people handle that area would also be helpful in this situation.

Thanks!

  • Yes – we release the amount a given fiscal year from the pledge.   And yes as capital can be released – we unrestrict the gift/pledge by amount now in operation.
