V4In August 2008, FASB issued the Reporting Endowment Funds Topic of The FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This topic provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization and enhanced disclosure information to enable users of financial statements to understand the net asset classification, net asset composition, changes in net asset composition, spending policy, and related investment policy of its endowment funds.
IV4The State of MI enacted UPMIFA effective September 15, 2009, and Cornerstones Board of Trustees has interpreted the full provisions of UPMIFA, requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011. This is in accordance with the existing UMIFA status.
II4As a result of this interpretation, the University classifies as permanently restricted net assets a the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, b the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and c accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund.
V4The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as either temporarily restricted or unrestricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the University in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UMIFA and UPMIFA.
V4In accordance with UMIFA and UPMIFA, the University considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds
V41 The duration and preservation of the fund 2 The purposes of Cornerstone University and the donor-restricted endowment fund 3 General economic conditions 4 The possible effect of inflation and deflation 5 The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments 6 Other resources of Cornerstone University 7 The investment policy of Cornerstone University
