INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISBURSEMENT REQUEST
STATE BOARD POLICY STATEMENT
Each affiliated foundation shall operate as an Idaho nonprofit corporation that is legally separate from the
institution and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity by the Internal Revenue Service. The management and
control of a foundation shall rest with its governing board.
Transactions between an institution and an affiliated foundation shall meet the normal tests for ordinary
business transactions, including proper documentation and approvals. Special attention shall be given to
avoiding direct or indirect conflicts of interest between the institution and the affiliated foundation and those
with whom the foundation does business.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS AND DOCUMENTATION
• The Foundation reimburses University accounts for eligible expenses rather than paying vendors directly.
• Every check request must include an explanation of the expenses and documentation supporting those
expenses. Appropriate documentation includes invoices, documentation of labor expenses (such as Banner
reports with appropriate notations), travel report summaries, etc. When documentation includes expenses for
which no reimbursement is requested, please highlight the items for which reimbursement is requested.
• The Foundation reserves the right to request additional information on expenditure details prior to fulfilling a
request.
• The Foundation does not make payments directly to University employees or students or their immediate
families. Payments should be processed through the University, and a reimbursement request to a University
account can be processed through the Foundation.
• The Foundation does not pay scholarships directly; payments of all scholarships must be processed through the
ISU Scholarship Office.
• Return the completed Disbursement Request form, including supporting documentation, to:
