Agree. And on the portion question, if only a portion ($10K of a $50K endowment) were moved, we would move $10K of the original principal and split the gift in the gift system. It doesn’t matter if it’s now worth $52K in the pool. The donor doesn’t have the power to designate investment growth – theoretically – only the contributed value is the gift. My thoughts.

Absolutely you would need all donors approval to repurpose any of their gifts.

I am thinking that if there is more than one donor you would need to contact each donor and make sure they are ok with the movement of their gift. I am not sure how that would work with the earnings.
I got lucky on the fund this happened with
1) It is a new endowment so no funds have been invested yet
2) We just had one donor who has given so only one person had to be contacted
Thank you,

Questions:
-What if the market value was, let's say, $52,000, $2,000 of which is earnings and the agreed amount to move to the other fund was $10,000?
-What if multiple donors gave to the endowment?

When a donor changes a designation on a gift from the past, the gift retains its original gift date and doesn’t impact current year activity or the VSE. However, you should be updating the activity in your gift system to reflect the updated designation. My thoughts.

Subject: [FUNDSVCS] VSE Reporting
I have a quick question about how moving money between endowments and distributions effects VSE reporting.
We have an endowment that has been set up and gifts have been processed to go into that endowment. It has come to my attention that the Financial side of the house has been instructed to move some of the money out of the endowment into the distribution. All parties involved (including the donor) have approved this movement of the money.
We use two systems for our gift processing and bookkeeping, RE and FE, so the money is moved in FE from the endowment into the distribution without any changes being done in RE.
The question I have is since this money is no longer in the endowment on the Finical side of the house should that be moved in RE so when the VSE reports are pulled it reflects what had actually taken place.
I understand how moving money between separate funds would need to be reflected on both sides of the house (RE and FE) I was just sure about funds between an endowment and distribution.
This next reporting cycle will be the first time for us (since I have been here) to report our data to the VSE and I am just trying to make sure I understand how all this works and we have procedures in place so our numbers will be correct.
Thank you,
Cynthia Hornbeck
