• Gifts in Kind o Tangible personal property used in operations
o Items contributed for sale at fundraising events
o Contributed fundraising material, including advertising and media time
o Use of long-lived assets
o Contributed collection items
o Contributed securities
o Bargain purchase
• Contributed Services o Create or enhance non-financial asset
o Require specialized skills
o Provided by an affiliate
What We Will Cover
7 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
• Why recognize non-cash contributions? o Provides better information about an organization’s support and costs
o Allows for more comparability between similar organizations that have different sources of support
o Required in certain circumstances by generally accepted accounting principles
• When would revenue recognition not be appropriate? o Goods are not in a condition that allows for their use
o An organization receives goods for benefit of another organization (agency transaction)
o The value is so difficult to determine that it cannot be recognized
Revenue Recognition (tangible personal property)
8 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
• Recognize at fair value
• Record as contribution and related
expense (unless agency transaction) o Debit Appropriate Expense Account
• Credit Appropriate Contribution Account
• Contributions may be restricted
• Expense should be recorded in its natural
account (inventory/cost of sales, supplies)
rather than “in-kind expense”
General Treatment of Non-Cash Contributions
9 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Example: Donated Auction Items
• Initially record a contribution at fair value when the item is received
• Recognize an adjustment to the original contribution upon sale
– A charity receives a wine collection valued at $2,000 on the date of donation. The collection ultimately sells for $2,500.
– Initial entry DR Inventory $2,000
CR Contribution Income $2,000
– Entry upon sale DR Cash $2,500
DR Contribution Income $500
CR Inventory $2,000
In practice, this may be recorded as one transaction after the event
10 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Contribution of Use of An Asset - Media
• As noted in FASB ASC 958-605-55-23 ,
the use of property, utilities, or
advertising time are considered to be
forms of contributed assets rather than
contributed services. Therefore, the
criteria for recognition of contributed
services in FASB ASC 958-605-25-16 ,
as discussed in paragraph 5.112, are not
applicable.
• FinREC believes that in the case of
fund-raising material, informational
material, advertising, and media time or
space, the NFP has received an asset
(future economic benefit) and can
control others’ access to the benefit, and
therefore has received a contribution, if
the NFP has an active involvement in
determining and managing the message
and the use of the materials. The future
economic benefit received may be either
(a) cash inflows, such as contributions
arising from fund-raising activities or
revenues arising from exchange
transactions, or (b) service potential in
conducting program or management and
general activities.
11 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Use of Long-Lived Assets
• Donor retains legal title to asset
• NFP is allowed to use asset without
charge
• Determination of recognition is
unaffected by whether the organization
can afford to purchase
• If multiple years involved, must consider
the fair value for the entire term of the
arrangement
• FV of “lease” cannot exceed FV of
property
• Multiyear arrangement would generally
be recorded as temporarily restricted
and released over term of agreement
12 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Contribution of Long-Lived Assets
• NFP gains legal title to asset
• Two choices in accounting:
o Recognize all as unrestricted in first year,
depreciation expense incurred over useful
life
• Advantage – easier, since NFP does not have to
track and record releases from restriction
• Disadvantage – built-in “loss” each year from the
depreciation expense
o Treat as if there is a time restriction, and
release from restriction annually, matching
unrestricted revenue to depreciation
expense.
13 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Definition of collection:
“(a) They are held for public exhibition, education, or research in furtherance of public
service rather than financial gain,
(b) They are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved, and
(c) They are subject to an organizational policy that requires the proceeds of items that
are sold to be used to acquire other items for collections.”
Contributions of Collection Items
Three alternatives:
1. Capitalize all collection assets
2. Capitalize all obtained after a certain date
3. Don’t capitalize at all
Selective capitalization is not permitted, but if a specimen is
obtained only for scientific study, it may not have a market
value.
Capitalized items must be depreciated and considered for
impairment.
14 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
• Three relevant dates:
o Pledge date – if pledged, but not yet received, record at value on pledge date
o Received date – adjust value upon receipt
o Sale date – recognize gain/loss on sale
Example:
• 12/01/14 – Shares of stock valued at $10,000 are pledged
• 12/31/14 – Shares are received and worth $9,500
• 01/05/15 – NFP’s broker sells the shares $9,700, after $50 trade fee

ASC 230-45-21A Cash receipts resulting from the sale of
donated financial assets (for example, donated debt or equity
instruments) by NFPs that upon receipt were directed without any NFP-
imposed limitations for sale and were converted nearly immediately into
cash shall be classified as operating cash flows. If, however, the donor
restricted the use of the contributed resource to a long-term purpose of
the nature of those described in paragraph 230-10-45-14(c), then those
cash receipts meeting all the conditions in this paragraph shall be
classified as a financing activity.
Classification of Proceeds from Sale in Stmt of Cash Flows

A contribution may occur
as part of an exchange
transaction. For example,
nonprofit land trust
purchases compensates
a resort to set aside part
of its land from
development. The
appraised value of the
land is $3 million but the
resort agrees to accept
only $500,000. The
difference between the
appraised value and the
purchase price is a
contribution.
Bargain Purchase
18 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Recognized when:
• The services create or enhance non-financial assets
• Or, requires a specialized skill, which the contributor has,
and would typically need to be purchased
Contributed Services
19 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
Example: Volunteers help to renovate a homeless shelter. The shelter was
appraised at $100,000 before the renovation and $150,000 after the
renovation.
DR Building improvements $50,000
CR Contributed services $50,000
The estimated value of the donor time could be used instead of change in
appraised value.
Creating or Enhancing Nonfinancial Asset
20 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
• “Services requiring specialized skills are provided by
accountants, architects, carpenters, doctors, electricians,
lawyers, nurses, plumbers, teachers, and other
professionals and craftspeople.”
• “Whether such contributions should be reported is
unaffected by whether the NFP could afford to purchase
the services at their fair value.”
Specialized Services
21 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
• Board members frequently have specialized professional skills, and
are expected to draw on those skills as part of their normal board
duties.
• Occasionally, board members may use their expertise on a project
that would normally be considered outside the scope of normal board
duties.
• Example: An attorney serving on a board and providing general
advice would generally not be recognized as contributed services.
However, if the attorney represented the organization in a lawsuit, that
would generally constitute contributed services.
Contributed Board Member Services
22 © ArmaninoLLP | armaninoLLP.com
ASC 958-720-25-9 A not-for-profit entity (NFP) shall recognize all services received
from personnel of an affiliate that directly benefit the recipient NFP (that is, are similar to
personnel directly engaged by the recipient NFP). For example, that would include
services performed by personnel of an affiliate for and under the direction of the recipient
NFP and shared services. Shared services generally refers to services provided by a
centralized function of one or more individuals within the affiliate group that the recipient
NFP would otherwise typically need to purchase or have donated, if not provided by
those personnel.
Example: A corporation has established a related foundation that provides grants to
organizations in communities in which the corporation has projects. The corporation
provides all bookkeeping and administrative functions. The foundation should record the
value of all services provided.

26
Tax Recognition on Form 990
• Property other than cash
• No recognition of services or use of facilities, even when recognized for GAAP
• Must be reflected at fair market value
• If total noncash contributions exceed $25,000 in FMV, must prepare Schedule M
• Part IV, “Checklist of Required Schedules”, lines 7, 8, 29 and 30
27
Definition: Noncash Contributions
• Contributions of property, tangible or intangible, other than money. Noncash contributions include, but are not limited to, stocks, bonds, and other securities; real estate; works of art; stamps, coins, and other collectibles; clothing and household goods; vehicles, boats, and airplanes; inventories of food, medical equipment or supplies, books, or seeds; intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets; donated items that are sold immediately after donation, such as publicly traded stock or used cars; and items donated for sale at a charity auction. Noncash contributions do not include volunteer services performed for the reporting organization or donated use of materials, facilities, or equipment
28
Definition: Fair Market Value
• The price at which property, or the right to use
property, would change hands between a willing
buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any
compulsion to buy, sell, or transfer property or the
right to use property, and both having reasonable
knowledge of the facts.
29
GAAP-Tax Differences • Some in-kind services are recorded for GAAP
• Value of facilities contributed would generally be recorded
under GAAP
• Neither is included on Form 990
• Part XII has a reconciliation to GAAP figures
30
31
Part VIII, Statement of Revenue
• Noncash contributions reported in lines 1a
through 1f, as applicable, and also on line 1g
32 Part VIII, Statement of Revenue, stock sale
FMV of stock @ date of contribution
FMV of stock + selling expenses
Sales price
Sales of noncash contributions, thrift stores • Line 10a—sales of items that are donated to the organization, that
the organization makes to sell to others, or that it buys for resale
An organization that includes employment in a thrift store or in refurbishing goods as part of its purpose may categorize sales of inventory as related or exempt function income in column B. An organization that operates thrift stores strictly for fundraising purposes would report in column D, under the exclusion provided by IRC Section 513(a)(3)—“selling of merchandise, substantially all of which has been received by the organization as gifts or contributions.”
34
Reporting Contributed Goods Distributed to Others
• An organization that receives contributed goods may end up distributing them to needy individuals or other charitable organizations
• The recipient organization will first need to consider whether it is the actual beneficiary of the contributed goods, or whether it is an agent for the ultimate recipient.
• If recognizable as income, will end up being reported on page 10 as a grant when it goes out as grant expense
35
Schedule B: Schedule of Contributors
• Must indicate whether noncash for each contribution exceeding $5,000 or 2%, as appropriate
• Part III requires additional information on noncash property given, primarily the description
• The IRS receives donor names, addresses and the FMV, but does not obtain the tax ID and does not cross-reference
36
Schedule M: Noncash Contributions
• Not required for 990-EZ
• Required when total noncash contributions are $25,000 or more
• Lots of detail needed • 24 categories of contributions
• Number of items contributed
• Method of determining value
• Other compliance disclosures, including donor reporting
37
Valuation Methods
• Cost or selling price—appropriate when purchase or sale was close to contribution date, when the original transactions was arm’s length, and when no change in market value
• Sale of comparable properties—useful when there is a market for comparable goods, such as the thrift store sales value of clothing
• Replacement cost—not necessarily applicable since it would need to be adjusted to fair value
• Opinions of experts—appraisals are required when value is greater than $5,000, and may be the best way of obtaining value for art, real estate and other unique properties
39
Schedule M Donor-Related
• Number of Forms 8283
• Receipt of property with a three-year holding
period
• Gift-acceptance policy
• Third-party solicitation, processing or selling
40
Form 8283—general requirements
• Required by donors when noncash contributions
claimed on a tax return exceed $500
• Schedule B must be completed when the
deduction for an item, or group of items, exceeds
$5,000 (except publicly-traded securities)
• Appraisals required for contributions in excess of
$5,000
41
Form 8283—charity responsibilities
• Required when Section B is needed (>$5,000)
• Donor must provide donee with name, TIN and description of the donated property
• Person acknowledging on behalf of charity must be an official authorized to sign the tax returns of the organization, or specifically designated to sign these forms
• The acknowledgment does not constitute agreement with the claimed value
• If the property is sold within three years, additional reporting (Form 8282) is required
42
Impact of Holding Period on Donor
• “Capital gain” property must be held at least a
year for the donor to get the FMV deduction on
eligible property, such as appreciated stock
• Tangible personal property contributions greater
than $5,000 may be subject to recapture if the
organization does not use it for exempt purposes
and sells within three years of contribution
43
Contemporaneous Written Acknowledgement
• A donor cannot claim a tax deduction for any single contribution of $250 or more unless the donor obtains a contemporaneous written acknowledgement
• Must include (see Publication 1771): • Name of organization
• Amount of cash contribution
• Description (but not the value) of noncash contribution
• Statement regarding value of goods or services provided by the organization to the donor
• Description and good faith estimate of the value of goods or services, if any, that the organization provided in return for the contribution
44
Examples of Written Acknowledgments
45
• Acknowledgment needs to be provided to donor the earlier of when the donor
actually files his/her return or the due date, with extensions. No penalty to
charity for not providing, except bad karma and the possibility that a donor
will not be back.
Contributions Subject to Special Rules • Clothing or household items—must be in good used condition
• A car, boat, or airplane—limited to lower of gross proceeds from the organization’s sale of the property or FMV on date of contribution
• Taxidermy property—limited to lower of basis or FMV; basis does not include any hunting costs
• Property subject to a debt—must reduce FMV by any interest paid after contribution (if debt retained) or the debt if “contributed”
• A partial interest in property—see previous slide
• A fractional interest in tangible personal property—see previous slide
• A qualified conservation contribution—complex rules
• A future interest in tangible personal property—not deductible until it actually transfers
• Inventory from your business—lower of FMV or basis
• A patent or other intellectual property—lower of FMV or basis
46
Tax Planning Opportunities for Donors
• Appreciated stock—donor received FMV deduction
if held for longer than one year
• Bargain sale—a reduction in sale price below FMV
to a charity results in a contribution for the
amount of the difference between the sales price
and FMV
47
Unrelated Business Income Tax
• Closely-held stock—trade or business activity
could generate ordinary income (partnership or S
corporation)
• Rental real estate—if transferred with debt, then
rental real estate income may become subject to
UBIT
48
Charity Auctions
• Goods donated for sale in an auction should be included on Schedule M
• Donated services of use of asset (i.e., stay at a vacation home) do not get recorded on Schedule M
• Proceeds of the auction sale and the fair value of the items are reflected on Schedule G
• UBTI if “regularly carried on”
49
Vehicle Donation Programs: Three Scenarios
• Charity operates the program—generally fine,
though subject to some rules
• Charity hires agent to operate the program—must
establish valid agency relationship
• For-profit entity receives and sells vehicles using
charity’s name—will eliminate ability to take
contribution deduction
51
Responsibilities of Charity Operating Program
• Comply with state law regarding program
• Provide required donor acknowledgment
• File Form 1098-C and provide a copy to the donor
• File Form 8282, if required
52
Conservation Easements – 170(h)
• Qualified real property interest—use of real estate with attributes of an easement
• Qualified organization
• Governmental units or public charities
• Possesses the resources to manage and enforce the easement
• Exclusively for conservation purposes
• Granted in perpetuity—any debt must be subordinate to charity’s interest
• Charity must provide information on Schedule D
53
Nondeductible or Limited Contributions 1. A contribution to a specific individual,
2. A contribution to a nonqualified organization,
3. The part of a contribution from which you receive or expect to receive a
benefit,
4. The value of your time or services,

7. Appraisal fees,
8. Certain contributions to donor-advised funds
9. Certain contributions of partial interests in property.
54
55

(but must be fully
contributed within 10
years)
Undivided interest: possibly deductible

Valuation Issues
• Differences between Donor and Donee’s value • One is GAAP
• One is FMV
• GAAP • Fair Value
• Generally “Exit Price”
• Uses Market with minimal adjustments
• FMV • Willing seller, willing buyer, each full knowledge of market
• Not the highest and best use
• Uses significant adjustments
60
GAAP
• Exit price • Willing buyer, willing seller . . . . but the seller has no say in the value
• Little “Best Practices” in this area • We looked to AERDO
• Publish http://www.dochas.ie/Shared/Files/4/Gift_in_kind_Standards.pdf
• Focuses on Donee value • Primarily on Pharma, but written to be open
• AICPA http://www.berrydunn.com/uploads/55/doc/financial-reporting-whitepaper-measurement-of-fair-value.pdf
• ASC 820 codification of 157 http://www.fasb.org/cs/BlobServer?blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobkey=id&blobwhere=1175822486936&blobheader=application/pdf
61
GAAP
• Disclosures AERDO & GAAP (820-10-55-1): • Description of item or property, including sources and uses
(500 bales of used adult clothing, versus used adult clothing) • Valuation premise (GAAP & IRS differ dramatically) • Dates, of appraisal and of transfer • Consideration received (e.g. mktg, PR) • Identify both donor and donee (include relationship,
including NONE) • Description of valuation method used (detailed) • Financial data used in valuation (beginning, sources for
adjustments, etc) • Must be conclusion of value (AICPA) and Appraisal Report
(USPAP)
63
GAAP
• Valuing (GAAP) • AERDO
• Assumes this is used in furtherance of mission • Assumes fewest possible entities involved
• If entity is a stepping stone • Administrative
• Warehouse
• Manage • Handling
• Assumes trained users at the final receipt • Medical equipment operation • Qualified to administer pharma’s
• Etc.
65
GAAP
• Exit price (GAAP, FASB ASC 820) • Volume of material often drives value to wholesale
• Seldom retail
• No reduction typically for transport or other downstream costs
• Highest & Best use of all market participants; principal or most advantageous
• Remaining shelf life may or may not have adjustment (look at time anticipated for receipt to end use)
• Restrictions on use – impact on donee not donor, does not necessarily restrict/diminish the value.
66
GAAP
• Other matters • Middlemen/distribution entities have very different
requirements, outside valuation per se. • Hierarchy of FASB (820-10-35-16BB & glossary);
• Level 1 – active market, e.g. publicly listed stock donated • identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date
• Level 2 – observable inputs (generic equivalents 820-10-55-21) • Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Possibly Craig’s List, or E-Bay
• Level 3 – Unobservable e.g. closely held company 820-10-55-22)
• Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
67
IRS
• Fair Market Value • Hypothetical buyer and seller
• Adjustments for restrictions placed on distribution/use
• Generally want to see 3 approaches to value • Transaction/market
• Asset/replacement
• Income
• Disclosures should be similar
• For charitable contributions-see regulation 6501 for qualified appraisal
********************Before!!!!!***********************
68
IRS
• Types of assets • Real Estate – if actual ground and everything on and beneath
it, most good appraisers can handle the highest & best use • If just mineral rights – geologist and a business valuator (usually)
• If just easements – depending on what, appraiser and valuator to do court case analysis
• If royalties or intangible assets – business valuator
• If publicly traded stock - ??? May want a valuator, may want independent party to get closing price or average high and low on day of
• Pink sheet – thinly traded, use valuator
• Privately held company, FMV
69
Summary
• Differences • Highest and best use, if a bid situation, only one left in
the market is the closest losing bid, not the winning bid
• IRS FMV is more of an average value
• GAAP value is often huge compared to the FMV of a bid • GAAP often uses a multiple of the EBITDA
• GAAP is highest and best use, not normal use
• FMV looks more to normalized Earnings after tax (interest may be added back after removing tax benefit)
• Consider FMV and M&A value (unlevered & fully levered [risk difference may be 6% v 20%])
