“Earnings from endowment funds are used for operational expenses. Community violence intervention center's endowment consists of a fund established to support victim services and four funds established by the board of directors for a variety of purposes. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with the endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The board of directors of community violence intervention center has interpreted the north dakota state prudent management of institutional funds act (spmifa) as 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.
