DUE DILIGENCE AND SOURCE OF FUNDS
OLC will refuse a donation where there is reason to believe the money results from illegal activities or where the activities of the donor are contrary to the mission, values and/or objectives of OLC or where a gift could cause reputational damage. OLC will be transparent about gifts accepted in terms of their sources and purposes. Gifts will not be accepted where the source of the funds in question is unknown.
-
RESTRICTED GIFTS
OLC will accept unrestricted gifts, and gifts nominated for specific causes and campaigns, provided that such gifts are not inconsistent with its stated mission, purposes, and priorities. OLC will not accept gifts that are excessively restrictive in purpose. For all major restricted gifts that no longer fit the purpose, strategic objectives or mission, OLC will be permitted to use the resources in a manner consistent with the objectives and mission of OLC and in a manner most closely matching the original donor intent. If the intended goal of a restricted gift no longer exists, and if no authority was given by the donor to use the gift for an unrestricted purpose, OLC shall follow all applicable statutes to release the restrictions in the most transparent fashion possible. A portion of unrestricted gifts may be directed toward funding operating expenses.
