Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of Cardiac Risk in the Young. Cardiac Risk in the Young will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of the Cardiac Risk in the Young.
No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.
Cardiac Risk in the Young will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.
Cardiac Risk in the Young will accept donations of cash or publicly traded securities. Gifts of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of the Cardiac Risk in the Young.
Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for Cardiac Risk in the Young.
Cardiac Risk in the Young will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Cardiac Risk in the Young.
The Cardiac Risk in the Young will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, Cardiac Risk in the Young will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
Cardiac Risk in the Young will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders' fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to Cardiac Risk in the Young.
