Grant Vs. Gift

Funding, particularly when received from a non-profit entity (i.e., foundation, corporate foundation, private organization, or corporation), is sometimes difficult to classify as a gift or grant.

In order to make the most accurate decision between what is a grant and what is a gift, all components of information related to the gift/sponsored project should be reviewed by the Principal Investigator (PI), the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs (OSRP) and/or the Office of Advancement.

A grant (i.e., 鈥渟ponsored program鈥� funding, or 鈥渁ward鈥�) is the transfer of money or property from a sponsor to an institution that may require performance of specific duties such as research, budget reports, progress reports, and return of unused funds.  Any funding provided by U.S. Government agencies, at the federal, state, or local level, in support of 麻豆社区P activities is treated as a grant. Government funds are not treated as gifts. Funding from voluntary health organizations or associations, such as the American Cancer Society or American Heart Association, is usually treated as a grant and not a gift.
To help determine if your project is a grant or a gift, please complete the Checklist for Determining Whether Funding is a Gift or Support for a Sponsored Project.  If you answer 'Yes' to one or more of the questions, then the funding is a sponsored program and should be processed through the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs.
