Bicentennial Campaign Planning Discussion

they present.

AGENDA ITEM:
VI. Annual Report on University-Related
Foundation Compliance
ACTION REQUIRED:
None
BACKGROUND: The Board of Visitors approved the Policy on
University-Related Foundations on October 9, 1992. The policy
applies to all foundations that are established and operated for
the University’s benefit and that use the University’s name and,
at times, its resources. The policy was designed to ensure
efficiency and accountability of University-related foundations,
as well as to maintain the foundations’ independence and
integrity. At its October 2000 meeting, the Board concurred
with specific procedures to be followed in the administration of
the policy.
The responsibility for monitoring compliance with the
policy, as well as general administrative oversight of
University-related foundations, rests with the Associate Vice
President & Treasurer of the University, as the President’s
designee. The policy specifies that the designee will prepare
an annual report on compliance for the Board of Visitors.
DISCUSSION: During the year, each foundation submits to the
University certain reports specified in the policy. The reports
include, but are not limited to, minutes of board meetings,
audited financial statements, approved operating and capital
budgets, amendments to by-laws, and tax returns. In addition,
the executive director of each foundation is asked to submit an
annual letter certifying that the foundation has complied with
the Policy on University-Related Foundations. Board of
Visitors’ representatives on the foundation boards are asked to
provide the Board with annual reports on foundation activities.
We have reviewed the representatives’ reports as well as
the other deliverables received from each foundation. This
information indicates that all foundations are in compliance
with the Policy on University-Related Foundations. A matrix on
11
the following pages shows the items received from each of the
foundations.
