    Hi Joseph and all who are participating in this forum discussion…thank you for posting this question which clearly so many of us struggle with! We appreciate the multitude of useful and thoughtful responses. I agree with the general consensus in this discussion that we need to look at the substance of the gift to determine its classification: does it smell like a grant (application process, reporting requirements) or a contribution (donor development and solicitation, directed by an individual)? Please keep up the dialogue and come back to our forums often!

On October 8, 2025, Join Us for a National Town Hall on the Financial State of the Nonprofit Sector

Nonprofit GPS is a new, action-based community designed to help nonprofits navigate today’s disrupted revenue landscape. Built in consultation with organizations nationwide, it focuses on the real financial challenges nonprofits face — business model risks, capital management, budgeting, governance, and more. Together, we’ll share practical strategies and highlight bright spots of practice that strengthen missions, even in the most disruptive times.

At this event you will hear: an analysis of the current economic landscape for nonprofits and the implications for practice; what array of critical new resources will be offered by Nonprofit GPS over the next three months and beyond; and how to become involved as a practice leader in this community.

Join a space designed to foster support, inclusivity, and respect for every voice.
