    Posted 02-27-2019 10:46 AM
    My personal opinion is that when a donor requires - or agrees to - the movement of their gift from one fund to another, that movement/change should be reflected in RE. In fact, I would initiate the move from within RE causing a correction to the original gift which would then generate a debit to the original fund and a credit to the new fund (automatically within the RE/FE feed process). But to your question, when completing your VSE survey you should reflect where the contributions ENDED as of the close of the fiscal year - provided the move was donor-involved. John John H.

    Posted 02-27-2019 03:42 PM
    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.

    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.

    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.

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, Cynthia Hornbeck <image001.png> University Advancement 940-898-3894 CHornbeck1@twu.edu<mailto:CHornbeck1@twu.edu> <image002.png> From: Advancement Services Discussion List [mailto:FUNDSVCS@LISTSERV.FUNDSVCS.ORG] On Behalf Of Robert Saunders Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 11:11 AM To: FUNDSVCS@LISTSERV.FUNDSVCS.ORG<mailto:FUNDSVCS@LISTSERV.FUNDSVCS.ORG> Subject: Re: [FUNDSVCS] VSE Reporting 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?

However, you should be updating the activity in your gift system to reflect the updated designation. My thoughts.

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.
