The form requires verification of the valuation amount, specifying that an independent appraisal is mandatory for property valued over $1,000. Additionally, it details administrative approval workflows, including necessary financial officer signatures for high-value donations. The template provides comprehensive sections for documenting valuation methods—such as independent appraisals, purchase receipts, or online sales of comparable items—to ensure fiscal transparency and regulatory compliance with tax reporting standards. By centralizing this information, the University facilitates efficient tracking and proper processing of non-monetary contributions, ensuring all received goods are appropriately documented for institutional accounting and tax reporting purposes.
