Restricted gifts fall into two categories, which include
temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. As an
executive of a non-profit organization I would not prefer
restricted gifts because the charity can invest the gift and then
uses the interest and investment returns in perpetuity. The funds
often go into an endowment that supports a particular activity or
organization in general. Unrestricted funds are donations the
non-profit organization may use for any purpose. The funds
usually go toward the operating expenses of the organization or
to a particular project that the non-profit organization picks.
Restricted gifts are used for a particular purpose or project.
The most important regulatory requirements for charitable
contributions are the process by which a professional
fundraiser, professional solicitor, and commercial co-venture
registers with and report to the state. Also, the provision for
reciprocal agreements among the states as to coordinated
regulations in this field. Lastly, there are a series of prohibited
acts.

Grants can open the door for many start up nonprofit
organizations but knowing how to write one successfully can be
a challenge in many ways. If there is little to no experience in
writing these grants, then seeking a volunteer with adequate
experience seems to be a great idea, however there are many
online tools that will allow any person with time and patience,
to learn the fundamentals of successful grant writing.
Writers will learn when reading and watching tutorials online,
you must follow directions exactly. Grantors will feel you're
careless about your submission and may not consider your
proposal is certain directions are disregarded. Also, for the
sake of not feeling overwhelmed, writers should complete the
application in sections and not try to tackle the entire grant at
one time, until they are comfortable with writing grants. Perdue
states, "Following directions helps the grantmaker read

4. applications efficiently. Specificity of content will not only
vary by grantmaker, but also by proposal sections" (Perdue, nd).
Along with following directions, the request should be clear,
easy to read, and have an even flow. They have to understand
why you are requesting funding, therefore, your request should
not be sentence circles (talking about the same thing in each
sentence) but be able to explain the entire program clearly.
Writers must gather background information pertaining to the
grant their requesting.
I would suggest any novice, to reach out to similar
organizations such as theirs and connect with their grant writer
and ask for any suggestions or tips with being rewarded a grant.
Sometimes, they may know of specific organizations,
foundations, state and government programs that you
organization may qualify for. They may also want to help with
either volunteers or other services, that will enable your
organization to thrive financially.
Contributions
Gifts are often given to organizations in the form of
scholarships, restricted gifts, wills and bequests, charitable gift
annuities, charitable remainder trust and unitrust's and gifts.
These gifts are truly helpful to any type of nonprofit but there
are potential downfalls with restricted gifts. Restricted gifts are
gifts used only for the purpose in which the gift is given. For
example, if a nonprofit organization received a restricted gift
from a corporation for sole purpose of providing after care for
low-income children from a particular community, then the
organization cannot use those funds for any other reason. If the
corporation discovers the organization used the monies for any
other reason, they could be held liable and have to return those
funds. Per an article in The Balance, "If a donor restricts a
donation to a particular purpose and the nonprofit does not
comply, the donor can demand a refund. The donor can take
legal action if needed and report the charity to the Office of the
Attorney General in the state where the charity resides" (Fritz,
2017).

5. Depending on the type of funding that's already being received
and the type of program that being run, restricted gifts will not
be my choice for a new organization. Funding is needed
throughout the entire program and having money allotted to one
program, can hinder the growth in other areas. Stipulating the
type of funding you're seeking, would need to be communicated
clearly, when soliciting funding.
