Statement of Policy
Donor stewardship serves as the foundation for building lasting
relationships between Purdue University and those who support
the University’s mission. Donors entrust funds to Purdue
with the confident expectation that their gifts will be managed
in a fiscally responsible and timely manner.
Acceptance of all gifts by Purdue University shall be in
accordance with the Gift Acceptance Policy. Every effort will
be made to ensure that the donors’ confidence in our
stewardship is well placed and that all monies designated
for restricted purposes are expended under the guidelines
and within the timeframe requested by the donors.
Acknowledgment and recognition of donor generosity is a matter
of common courtesy and good stewardship. Individuals, corporations,
foundations, and others who provide financial support to Purdue
University deserve written acknowledgments of appreciation.
All gifts will be recognized in a timely manner and in a meaningful
way, keeping in mind the stated wishes of the donor regarding
anonymity and other levels of public disclosure.
Good stewardship also dictates that an ongoing relationship
with the donors be maintained through mutually beneficial
engagement activities consistent with the mission and goals
of the University.
Reason for Policy
The policy ensures donors’ intentions are honored and
gifts are properly acknowledged.
