Endowment funds are generally established by donor-restricted gifts and bequests to provide a source of income in perpetuity or for a specified period. Laws for managing donor-restricted endowment funds are established at the state level. The Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, UPMIFA, provides guidelines for the management and investment of charitable funds by NFPs. Some donors enter into trusts or other arrangements under which NFPs receive benefits that are shared with other beneficiaries. This course covers the recognition and measurement principles for these arrangements, commonly known as split-interest agreements, and the application of these principles to widely used types of such agreements.
