CURRENT OR CAPITAL/ENDOWMENT
This category identifies whether private support is intended by
the donor or grantor for current or for capital/endowment pur-
poses. These definitions are mutually exclusive; each contribu-
tion should be classified as support for current operations or
support for capital/endowment purposes.
Current Operations
Gifts and private grants that are restricted for a non-endowment,
non-capital purpose, or gifts that are completely unrestricted,
should be classified as support for current operations.
Capital/Endowment
Capital or endowment support includes both:
a) Nonmonetary gifts, real or personal property, or equip-
ment; and
b) Gifts and private grants restricted by the donor or
grantor for one of the following:
-the purchase of land, buildings, and/or related
facilities;
-construction, major renovation, and/or retirement
of indebtedness;
-endowment (including charitable remainder trusts
and related deferred-
giving instruments, whether or not the remainder
interest is restricted for
endowment); or
-student-loan funds.
