Donor-Imposed Restrictions

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Donor-Imposed Restrictions

Donor-Imposed Restrictions refer to limitations set by donors on how their contributions to a nonprofit organization can be used. These restrictions can dictate the timing, purpose, or specific projects for which the funds must be utilized. Understanding what are donor restrictions is crucial for accurate financial reporting and compliance. Nonprofits must track and report these funds separately to ensure adherence to the donor’s stipulations.
