specific restrictions to last in perpetuity.

TERM or TEMPORARY ENDOWMENT 8000 project number funds for restricted scholarship funds- $25,000 minimum starting balance
QUASI ENDOWMENT 8000 project number funds for restricted scholarship funds - $25,000 minimum starting balance
Quasi-endowment, or the accounting term “funds functioning as endowment,” means that the institution imposed a restriction upon itself, calling a fund
quasi-endowment. However, UPMIFA and GAAP rules specifically state that the term endowment fund does not include assets an institution designates as
endowment for its own use. Consequently, quasi-endowment funds are actually unrestricted funds the Foundation chooses to treat as if endowment.
Temporarily restricted funds means the donor has restricted the funds in some temporal manner. Thus, an endowment fund may be designed to last for a set
number of years, and then released to become an unrestricted fund. In other provisions, the donor may allow interest, gain and principal to be appropriated, or
amortized, over time until the fund is fully expended. A third usage of temporary restriction is to restrict not only the fund to endowment, but also its distribution to
a specific use or program.
4) Amount of Scholarship per Recipient $
