  • 1.  Counting gains on CRUT

    Posted 01-07-2019 11:19 AM
    Hi all, I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I told our VP that I would check in to see if there were any rules I was unaware of. I arrived at St. Mark's in September, and have been doing an audit of the gifts, reports and the advancement services procedures. In doing so, on a donor record I found a *NEW* CRUT booked in December of 2017, for just over $1M. In doing more research on the gift to ensure paperwork was in order, I found that it was actually the proceeds from a $2M CRUT. This CRUT was administered by another institution, which St. Mark's had a 25% irrevocable share with a 20 year termination date. It was booked on our advancement system in 1997 at the full $500K, not NPV. So, as I am enforcing CASE standards for counting, I alerted my VP, that the $1M was incorrectly counted in our current campaign. I understand that the $1M needs to be removed all together, but its her hope that we can maybe count the $500K "gain" on it, as we only booked $500K in 1997. As I am sure you can all understand, she is hoping to soften the blow on this. But as I understand it, our hands are tied in counting any portion of the $1M. Am I missing something?

    Nope - it's a gain and not a new gift. Nor can you count the proceeds. The CRUT was counted once - at the time it was made a gift! John H. Taylor Principal, John H.
