DONATION AGREEMENT FAQ


What is a Donation Agreement?

A Donation Agreement is a legal document that sets out the terms under which a donor transfers money, property, or assets to a recipient. It specifies the gift amount, purpose, and any conditions, ensuring both parties are clear about their obligations.


Why is a Donation Agreement important?

It provides transparency and accountability. For donors, it ensures contributions are used as intended. For recipients, it establishes a formal record of acceptance and reduces misunderstandings about restrictions, reporting, or donor recognition.


When should you use a Donation Agreement?

You should use one when making significant donations, particularly if the gift is restricted to a certain use, involves real estate or valuable assets, or is tied to naming rights, milestones, or reporting obligations. Smaller, unrestricted donations may not require a written agreement, but for larger or conditional gifts, it is strongly recommended.


What should a Donation Agreement include?

It should clearly identify the donor and recipient, describe the donation, outline its purpose or restrictions, specify reporting or recognition obligations, and address tax and compliance issues. A good agreement also includes representations, dispute resolution, and governing law provisions.


Is a Donation Agreement legally binding?

Yes, once signed, it is binding with respect to the terms and conditions it contains. While some gifts are irrevocable by nature, agreements that include conditions or restrictions can be enforced by either party or even by regulators in some cases.
