A. Financial Planning and Budgeting

1. State Delegation of Authority
   1. State law () delegates to the Board of Trustees powers for "... the management and control of all property and affairs of the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ, the University of New Hampshire (including the New Hampshire college of agriculture and the mechanical arts), and all its divisions and departments, the Keene State College, the Plymouth State University, and the Granite State College." Further, the law specifically authorizes the University System to accept and retain "all monies appropriated by or received from the government of the United States or the state of New Hampshire, all dividends and interest accruing to these institutions, all gifts of securities and property, real and otherwise, all grants and matching funds from any source, ... income received and due from all sources, including bequests, trusts, student fees and tuition charges, rents, sales, and any other income from whatever source derived, and to authorize the use thereof in such manner as the trustees may determine or as may be provided by law or by the conditions incident to the trusts, gifts, and bequests involved."
2. Trustee and Financial Affairs Committee Authority
   1. In cases of conflict among policies, the most restrictive policy will govern. Institutional policies may be more restrictive than Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ BOT policies but in no case may they be more lenient.
   2. The Board of Trustees, upon recommendation of the Financial Affairs Committee, retains sole responsibility for approval of tuition and fees, annual operating budgets, proportion of nonresident students attending UNH if greater than 25%, and certain other authorities as it deems necessary.
   3. The Board of Trustees delegates to its Financial Affairs Committee responsibility for all other financial planning and budget matters, including overseeing the development, coordination, implementation, and monitoring of all long-range financial planning for Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ and its component institutions.
   4. The Financial Affairs Committee will be engaged at the beginning of each budget cycle by reviewing and approving certain global and institution-specific preliminary financial planning and budget assumptions, parameters and targets to be used in the development of the budget and multiyear financial plan.
   5. The final assumptions, parameters and targets will be approved by the Financial Affairs Committee before the start of each fiscal year, and will include significant drivers of the budget including:
      • ÌýÌýglobal assumptions, such as state appropriation, inflation, investment earnings, and fringe benefits rate;
      • ÌýÌýcampus parameters, such as price of attendance, aggregate increase to total non-grant non-union benefits-eligible salaries, and annual transfer to plant funds for renewal and replacement ("R&A") to address deferred maintenance;
      • ÌýÌýcampus targets, such as operating margin and unrestricted financial resources to debt ("UFR:Debt"); and
      • ÌýÌýcampus-specific drivers, such as enrollment, enrollment mix, financial aid, and grants revenue.
   6. Use of beginning unrestricted net resources that were not approved as part of the original operating or capital budget for the fiscal year are limited to the greater of (a) 3% of the most recent final audited institutional unrestricted financial resources ("UFR"; previously known as unrestricted net assets, or "UNA") with System-wide balances allocated, or (b) $2 million, in aggregate by institution unless approved in advance by the Financial Affairs Committee. In addition, uses of unrestricted net resources greater than $1 million that were not approved as part of the original operating or capital budget are to be communicated to the Treasurer's Office as far in advance as possible to permit accurate assessment of future cash flows and fund balance impacts.
3. Financial Affairs Committee Delegation of Authority to Chancellor
   1. The Financial Affairs Committee delegates to the Chancellor, in consultation with institutional presidents, the responsibility for determining the format, content, process, frequency and timing of institutional and Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ consolidated financial plans and budget reports to enable appropriate oversight, control and decision-making on behalf of the Financial Affairs Committee.
   2. At a minimum, the Financial Affairs Committee shall require a financial plan for each institution and consolidated Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ that utilizes at least a five-year planning horizon, is updated at least semi-annually on a 'rolling' basis, and models all planned revenues, expenses, liquidity, unrestricted financial resources and debt.
   3. Institutional and consolidated Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ financial plans and budgets will be developed on an 'all funds' basis in a format that is easily reconcilable to the audited financial statements and that will enable comparison to projected ratios commonly used by independent rating agencies to assess the financial strength, trends and debt capacity of the institutions and Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ.
4. Financial Affairs Committee Delegation of Authority to Presidents
   1. The Financial Affairs Committee delegates to the Presidents the responsibility for developing (utilizing the format and instructions as determined by the Chancellor) and maintaining multiyear financial plans and budgets that fully incorporate all financial implications of multiyear capital plans and fundraising plans, and that support and articulate with the institution's multiyear strategic plan.
   2. Presidents are responsible for recommending annual operating budgets in accordance with assumptions, parameters and targets as established by the Financial Affairs Committee.
   3. Presidents are responsible for management of operations in accordance with approved budgets, strong internal controls, and good business practices.
   4. Presidents are responsible for monitoring budget to actual results and adjusting expenditures during the year as necessary to enable achievement of approved targets. Periodic reporting of budget to actual results, projected full fiscal year results, and analysis of significant variations to budget and management actions to align operations to the approved target will be made to the Financial Affairs Committee at least three times annually.

B. Internal Borrowing

1. Loans will be considered only after all other sources of funds have been reviewed and when the loan is needed to support a pressing need or special opportunity for an institution. Internal and external borrowing will be considered, and a recommendation made by the Treasurer based on the specific facts and circumstances including impact on key financial indicators, current and future debt capacity and credit ratings, eligibility for HEFA funding or state capital appropriation, cost of capital, debt issuance costs, terms of repayment, etc.
2. All borrowing must be repaid within five to 20 years. In no case may the term of the borrowing exceed the estimated useful life of the asset being financed.
3. Operating losses may not be capitalized through internal borrowing.
4. All loans must be supported by a payback schedule that defines a source of revenue that is of sufficiently low risk to reasonably assure repayment over time. Where there is any discernible risk identified in the revenue streams for repayment (e.g., fund raising or revenues from a new venture), the borrowing institution must identify appropriate backstop funding to ensure repayment of the internal borrowing.
5. All loans must be repaid with interest. The interest rate applied will be based on the rate that would have been earned had the capital been invested. For borrowings of five years or less, the interest rate may be variable or fixed and may not be less than the average short-term investment rate of return for the University System. For borrowings of more than five years, the interest rate will be fixed and may not be less than the current applicable U.S. Treasury rates as depicted on the Treasury yield curve in the Wall Street Journal.
6. Requests for internal loans are submitted to the Treasurer by the campus chief executive officer. The Treasurer reviews loan requests and submits them with recommendations to the Administrative Board.
7. Each instance of internal borrowing of greater than $5 million or with a repayment period exceeding 5 years, and any instance of internal borrowing where 100% concurrence of the Administrative Board does not exist, must be approved by the Financial Affairs Committee.
8. Each instance of internal borrowing of $5 million or less and with a repayment period of 5 years or less must be approved by the Administrative Board and Treasurer and reported on a timely basis to the Financial Affairs Committee. No loans may be made from quasi-endowment funds without the approval of the full Board of Trustees. The General Counsel will review loans to ensure that they do not conflict with state statutes.
9. Each new internal borrowing reported to or submitted for consideration by the Financial Affairs Committee will be accompanied by a statement from the Treasurer showing the current status of all outstanding internal loans and the current remaining internal borrowing capacity as determined annually as specified by the Investment Guidelines. Total internal borrowings may not cause the projected remaining cash balances to be less than projected cash needs as determined by the Treasurer. (See alsoÌýBOT VI.A, Capital Planning and Budgeting, for additional stipulations with respect to project and financing approvals.)

F. Student Fees

1. Use of Student Fees to Engage Legal Representation for Students
   1. No student fees shall be used for the purpose of engaging representation for, or providing advice to, any student in any way relating to, or arising out of, a matter that is:
      1. Criminal in nature (i.e., a charge, whether the original charge or otherwise) that is at the Class B misdemeanor level or above; or

G. Quasi-endowments (also known as Funds Functioning as Endowments)

1. Trustee Delegation of Authority
   1. The Board of Trustees delegates to its Financial Affairs Committee responsibility and authority for final approval of all interfund transfers, including transfers of current, loan and plant funds to establish or add to quasi-endowment funds.
   2. The Financial Affairs Committee delegates to the Treasurer responsibility and authority for approval of transfers to quasi-endowments in amounts of $1,000,000 or less upon request from a President or the Chancellor with respect to their institution's identified funds. It is the intent of this policy to aggregate like transactions when determining the applicable approval procedure.
2. Definition of and Accounting for Quasi-endowment Funds
   1. Quasi-endowments are funds that have been transferred from another source to be retained and invested in the Consolidated Endowment Pool (CEP) with the true endowment at the direction of the Financial Affairs Committee (or in the case of amounts under $1,000,000 at the direction of a President or the Chancellor). Quasi-endowments differ from true endowments, which are amounts received by Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ subject to a requirement by a donor or other external provider that the funds be invested in perpetuity.
   2. The original source of quasi-endowment funds may be current restricted, current unrestricted, loan, or plant funds. If the original source of funds was restricted as to purpose by a donor or other external resource provider, the quasi-endowment will be classified as restricted and the use of the annual distribution of endowment earnings will be similarly restricted.
   3. Ordinarily the Treasurer will not authorize the establishment of a quasi- endowment of less than $25,000 unless there is a plan to build the fund to at least $25,000 through future transfers or a commitment to reinvest the annual earnings in the fund until it reaches a $25,000 balance.
3. Revocation of Quasi-endowment Funds
   1. Because a quasi-endowment results from an internal designation as opposed to a legally binding external requirement, a quasi-endowment may be revoked in the future. A revocation of a quasi-endowment of any amount requires the vote of the Financial Affairs Committee.

3. Policy Scope
   1. This policy covers pooled cash and investment assets under the direct control of the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Board of Trustees. It does not cover non-pooled investments where affiliated boards have primary fiduciary responsibility for investment of certain funds (including UNH Foundation, and Keene Endowment Association). This policy also does not cover specifically-invested funds for which Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ is the beneficiary but that cannot be pooled together due to donor, state or other legal restrictions prohibiting commingling (including Elliott Trust Fund, bond proceeds invested by the Bond Trustee, and certain UNH Alumni Association funds).
4. Investment Principles
   1. State law (and ) also known as the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act ("UPMIFA"), forms the conceptual framework for Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ investment policies, guidelines and procedures, for both endowment and non- endowment funds. UPMIFA states that an institution may delegate management and investment functions to its committees, officers, or employees as authorized by law of New Hampshire. Other applicable provisions of UPMIFA require that:
      1. Each person responsible for managing and investing Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ funds shall do so with loyalty to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ, in good faith and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances.
      2. Factors be considered in managing and investing Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ funds, including general economic conditions; the possible effect of inflation or deflation; the role that each investment or course of action plays within the overall investment portfolio; the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments; other resources of Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ; and Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ needs to make distributions and to preserve capital.
      3. Investment decisions about an individual asset must be made in the context of the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ endowment or non-endowment portfolio of investments as a whole and as a part of an overall investment strategy having risk and return objectives reasonably suited to the portfolio and to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ.
      4. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ investments of its endowment and non-endowment funds shall generally be diversified.
      5. A person that has special skills or expertise, or is selected in reliance upon the person's representation that the person has special skills or expertise, has a duty to use those skills or that expertise in managing and investing Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ funds.
      6. If Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ chooses to delegate to an external agent the management and investment of endowment or non-endowment funds, Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ shall act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, in: selecting an agent; establishing the scope and terms of the delegation consistent with the purposes of the funds; and periodically reviewing the agent's actions in order to monitor the agent's performance and compliance with the scope and terms of the delegation.
   2. Other investment principles delineated in the formal investment guidelines to be adopted by the Investments and Capital Planning Committee include identification of risks; determination of tolerance of risk; asset allocation targets; diversification of investment strategy; diversification of investment managers; permitted investment securities; collateralization requirements; safekeeping of assets; ethics and conflicts of interest; measurement of investment performance; and periodic monitoring and reporting.

   2. The Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer will notify the Executive Committee of the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Board of Trustees of any gift with a value of $10 million or greater prior to any public announcement.
3. General Policy on Gift Acceptance
   1. Definitions
      1. AÌýgiftÌýis a voluntary, irrevocable transfer of assets (e.g., cash, securities, real or personal property) made by a donor without any expectation or receipt of direct economic benefit or tangible compensation (i.e., goods or services) from the recipient commensurate with the worth of the gift. In other words, a gift is a nonexchange transaction where there are no reciprocal transfers for approximate equal value.
      2. AÌýgrant, contract, or other sponsored agreementÌýis not a gift. It is a written agreement representing the voluntary transfer of money or property by a sponsor in exchange for the specifically enumerated performance of services (i.e., an exchange transaction), often including rights and access to results of this performance, and always including some formal financial and/or technical reporting by the recipient as to the actual use of money or property provided. The agreement is enforceable by law, and performance is usually to be accomplished under time and fund use constraints with the transfer of support revocable for cause.

      1. Prior to acceptance of any complex or unusual gift, any gift of real property, or any gift with a gross value in excess of $100,000 other than cash and/or publicly-traded securities, the Gift Acceptance Committee will review the facts and circumstances surrounding restrictions, conditions, pledge schedules, and other terms to determine whether accepting the gift is in the best long-term interests of the institution. To be acceptable, gifts must be consistent with the mission, purpose, and priorities of the institution, and comply with all applicable laws, regulations and Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ policies.
      2. Prior to acceptance of any complex or unusual gift, any gift of real property, or any gift with a gross value in excess of $1,000,000 other than cash and/or publicly-traded securities, the Gift Acceptance Committee shall consult with the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer and General Counsel in its review and acceptance under 3.2.1 above. Institutional Gift Acceptance Committees are encouraged to seek consultation from the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ General Counsel and the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer in all instances whenever there is a question.
   3. Gift Acceptance Policies and Procedures. Each University System component unit (i.e., University of New Hampshire, Keene State College, Plymouth State University, Granite State College, UNH Foundation, Keene Endowment Association, etc.) is responsible for developing their own gift acceptance policies and procedures consistent with this Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ policy. Institutional policies may be more restrictive than Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ policy but not less restrictive. Institutions are encouraged to seek review of their policies and procedures by the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ General Counsel and Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer.
      1. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ component unit policies shall provide for the sound administration of current use gifts, endowed funds, capital gifts and planned giving programs at Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ, and ensure that gifts and donor recognition are consistent with the purpose and mission of Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ.
      2. For all pledges, conditional gifts, restricted gifts, and gifts of real or personal property, Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ component unit policies shall require written documentation such as a memorandum of understanding from the donor that specifies the required use of the contributed funds, conditions associated with the pledge (if any), and expected payment schedule of the pledge to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ. This documentation shall be signed by the donor and all required campus representatives prior to public announcement or recording in the official institutional development records or the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ financial statements.
      3. Acceptance of a gift by the institution is demonstrated by the full execution of the Memorandum of Understanding, the formal acknowledgement of the gift by the institution, the public announcement of the gift, the recording of the gift in the official records, or any of the above.
      4. All gifts naming facilities or programs shall comply with Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ BOT policyÌýIII. H.
      5. All gifts of real and personal property must comply with Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ BOT policyÌýVI.B.
      6. All gifts of negotiable instruments must comply with Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ BOT policyÌýIV.I.1.
      7. All conditions and restrictions of gifts must comply with Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ BOT policies on conflict of interestÌýIII.IÌýand III.L.

K. Gift Counting Policy

1. State Delegation of Authority
   1. State law () delegates to the Board of Trustees authority and responsibility for the management and control of all income received and due from all sources, including the authority to use the same in such manner as the Trustees may determine.
   2. Further, State law () states that the Trustees are authorized to "accept legacies and other gifts to or for the benefit of the university or any of its divisions or departments" and "...all gifts of securities and property, real and otherwise..."
2. Introduction
   1. Purpose
      1. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance on valuation methods to be used when counting different types of gift revenues accepted by the campus. Note that there may be instances where gift values reported using the below criteria vary from the revenue amount recorded for the gift in the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ financial system. In all instances the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ financial system value will represent the gift total determined using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for governmental entities.
   2. Gift Counting Policies and Procedures
      1. Each Each University System component unit (i.e., University of New Hampshire, Keene State College, Plymouth State University, Granite State College, UNH Foundation, Keene Endowment Association, etc.) is responsible for developing their own gift counting policies and procedures consistent with this Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ policy. Institutional policies may be more restrictive than Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ policy but not less restrictive. Institutions are encouraged to seek review of their policies and procedures by the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer.
   3. Appraisals
      1. The value of certain gifts must be determined by a qualified independent appraisal as described below. In such instances the cost of the appraisal should be paid by the donor.
3. ​Valuation Methods Required for Counting Specific Types of Gifts
   1. Gift Counting Standards
      1. Gifts of Cash and Securities
         1. Gifts of cash shall be reported at full value as of the date of receipt.
         2. Gifts of publicly-traded securities should be valued at the average of the high and low quoted selling prices on the date the donor relinquishes control of the assets to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ. The date control has been relinquished by a donor depends upon the method of delivery of the securities to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ. Internal Revenue standards will be followed in determining whether or not a gift has been made.
         3. Gifts of closely held stock will be valued at the per-share cash purchase price of the closest transaction, if available and reasonably recent. If the total value using this method exceeds $10,000 a qualified independent appraisal of the gift must be done prior to receipting the donor. In such cases the gift should be counted at the appraised value.
      2. Gift Pledges
         1. Pledges of future gifts in the form of cash or publicly-traded securities, whether for endowment or current use gifts, may be counted at the full value of the future payment stream as of the date the signed pledge commitment is received.
      3. Gifts-in-Kind - Real and Personal Property
         1. All gifts of real property including land, buildings, and easements, must be accompanied by a qualified independent appraisal which will be used to determine the value of the gift.
         2. Gifts of personal property should be counted at their fair market value. If the fair market value as declared by the donor is $5,000 or less, the gift may be counted at that amount after review by a qualified expert on the faculty or staff of the institution. Gifts of equipment shall generally be counted at their educational discount value which, for purposes of these gift counting standards, shall be deemed to be fair market value.
         3. If the value of a gift of personal property is deemed to exceed $5,000, a qualified independent appraisal of the gift must be done prior to receipting the donor. In such cases the gift should be counted at the appraised value.
      4. Gifts of Royalties, Patents and Copyrights
         1. Gifts of royalties from property that Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ does not own (possible examples could be oil, gas and mineral rights) should be counted as a gift each time a separate royalty payment is received. No pledge should be counted in anticipation of receipt of future royalty payments as there is no guarantee of the amount or continuation of such payments.
         2. The fair market value of certain forms of intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights, or software under development may not be known or readily ascertainable at the time the gift is made. In such instances, the value of the gift shall be recorded and reported in the year the value becomes known.
      5. Planned Giving
         1. Planned giving arrangements include gifts from Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, Pooled Income Funds, Charitable Gift Annuities, and gifts to separately-held trusts with directives to distribute periodic payments to Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ. The value of these gift instruments is generally counted at the discounted present value of the related payment streams. Most often these values can be determined using existing software programs, or with the assistance of third-party administrators. Due to the complexity and unique terms of individual arrangements, such calculations should be reviewed by the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Treasurer whenever there is a question of valuation.
      6. Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets
         1. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ may be named as the beneficiary of individual retirement accounts. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ institutions may count pledges of retirement plan assets if the following requirements have been satisfied: (i) the donor is at least 65 years of age at the time of the pledge; (ii) Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ has a means to establish a credible estimate of the future value of the retirement plan account at the time the commitment is made; and (iii) Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ must receive verification of the commitment in the form of a letter from the donor or donor's representative.
      7. Testamentary Gifts
         1. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ may also be named as a beneficiary in individual wills. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ institutions may count testamentary pledges if the following requirements have been satisfied: (i) the donor is at least 60 at the time of the pledge; (ii) if the pledge is a joint pledge to be paid at the death of a survivor, all named survivors must also be at least 60 at the time of the pledge; (iii) the commitment must be for a specified amount or specific asset or assets or, if based on a percentage of the estate, the donor must be willing to provide a credible estimate of the value of the estate at the time the commitment is made; and (iv) the commitment must be verified through one of the following forms: a letter from the donor or donor’s attorney, a deferred pledge agreement or a contract to make a will.
      8. Gifts of Life Insurance
         1. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ institutions may count commitments of life insurance gifts if the institution is the owner and irrevocable beneficiary of the policy using the following valuation methods.
            1. Paid-up life insurance policies will be valued at the cash surrender value, or at the discounted present value of the policy's death benefits provided the donor is age 60 at the time of the pledge. If a policy is a 'second to die policy', each insured must be at least age 60 at the time of the pledge.
            2. A life insurance policy that is not fully paid up on the date of pledge may be counted at the existing cash surrender value. Note that increases in the cash surrender value will not be counted until the time the policy benefit is received. In addition, where the payment of premiums is pledged over a fixed period, the discounted value of premiums to be paid may also be counted as part of the pledge.
            3. Premiums paid for policies owned by the institution may also be counted as current gifts.
4. ​Fundraising Reports
   1. Grant income from private, non-government sources may be counted in fundraising reports only if the award is a non-exchange transaction and significant effort of Advancement staff was spent in securing the award.
   2. Amounts reported in internal fundraising reports should agree with revenues reported annually for Strategic Indicator 16, "Gifts by Donor Category and Intention".
