The Office of Gift Compliance at the University of Colorado Foundation is focused on tackling underutilized funds through a variety of approaches, encompassing an in-house developed gift compliance data set and report (Fund Purpose Report). This work has greatly improved the Foundation’s relationship with campus (controllers, fund managers, deans, etc.) and Advancement staff and has led to overall improvements in spending, transparency and communication surrounding gift funds.
