The Fund chartfield is a reporting attribute assigned to Operating Units identifying its net asset category or restriction code.
Major Fund classifications correspond to the University's annual financial report presentation as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely: Unrestricted, Temporarily Restricted, and Permanently Restricted. These categories are determined based on restrictions placed upon resources provided to the University by donors.
Unrestricted net assets are available for any purpose as determined by management under the direction of the Board of Directors. Unrestricted net assets have no donor-imposed restrictions, or all restrictions have been satisfied through the expenditure of other University resources. Donor-imposed restricted funds however are generally specifically expended at such time as management determines appropriate.
Temporarily restricted net assets include funds with stipulated time or purpose restrictions. When those restrictions are satisfied, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and are reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Permanently restricted net assets have restrictions that require them to be maintained in perpetuity (endowments provided by donors).
Each of these major fund groups are further defined by sub-funds which are listed below.
