Community Violence Intervention Center Inc.

“Earnings from endowment funds are used for operational expenses. Community violence intervention center's endowment consists of a fund established to support victim services. Its endowment is made up of donor-restricted funds. 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. As a result of this interpretation, community violence intervention center classifies as net assets with donor restrictions(a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund.
