Okay, if you're looking at the gift vs. grant question, I can tell you what the policy was in my days at the University of Virginia. Let's take the example of an award from the Ford Foundation. If that award contained any requirements for reporting (other than the "we'd like to know in broad terms what you did with the money), required the University to "do something" (e.g., provide data, technical reports) or required the return of unexpended funds, then it was a grant and not a gift.

My request for defintions came up b= ecause of a request by our University Advancement office -- they wanted to know= the difference between a grant and contract. The federal definitions really= aren't of much use to us in this case since Advancement doesn't count federally= funded awards. So, I thought I'd find out what other offices have used and tak= e it from there. The gift v. grant discussion has been very interesting in light of our relationship with Advancement. The age old question of whether a fundin= g is a gift or a sponsored program continues here at Cal Poly.
