I also believe the advancement office needs to account for government grants as part of CASE (Council for Advancement and Support Education).  Agreed that a true OSP would not count gifts but an IA would possibly count grants….if that makes sense!

Thomas

All but one institution I have worked at follows these guidelines. CFR has fundraising goals they need to meet and part of meeting then is allowing them to count private foundation or industry research grants in their numbers. The research office would not count philanthropic gifts of course but allowing CFR to count the research money was a way to help them meet their goals (on paper at least). When I was at NYU I would have a standing meeting with CFR so they would always know what was in our pipeline to possible be counted in their goal. Of course CFR should not be relying on research dollars to get them to their goal but that is a whole other can of worms.

Congrats on the retirement

Can anyone help me out with the following quote from a senior level institutional advancement person?  This has to do with reporting income from grants.  What is said here has never been my understanding of things.  While I can point to GAAP / FASB, I cannot immediately pinpoint and convince folks:

Its been a long-standing understanding in the CFR/ORSPA world that philanthropic grants (from true Foundations) are counted in both ORSPA (Research) totals as well as Philanthropic Giving Totals in reporting, no matter which entity manages the funds.

BTW, the author's reference to "true foundations" followed my challenge that all money from a foundation must be considered private and philanthropic.  

ON A PERSONL NOTE, IF I MAY...

I will be retiring at the end of August, however, if there are any institutions on Long Island needing a hand with any aspect of research administration -- full or part time -- I would appreciate hearing from you.  I have 42 years experience in the field and I have a son who is starting college in September...so I would not mind the extra income.  Short term or for up to four years.  Full time (if it is the right job) or part time (if it is professionally challenging enough).   Thank you.
