We have a faculty member applying for an award from the John Simon
Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. The Foundation makes the awards to
individuals and issues a 1099. It will not make the award to institutions or
organizations. The foundation allows the individual to use the funds in any
manner they deem necessary. The faculty member wants to turn the check over
to the University, to use the funds toward their salary support, a student
worker and supplies. We foresee many tax issues for the faculty member in
regards to this. Has any one had any experience with these Guggenheim Awards
in the past and how did they handle them internally. Thank you.
