Board policy defines the gift amount breakpoints that send a contribution to the foundation account, the operating account, or a split between both.

Contribution Routing Policy

Tier 1

Smaller Gifts

Route directly to the operating account for near-term grants.

Tier 2

Mid-Size Gifts

Split between operating support and long-term capital growth.

Tier 3

Larger Gifts

Direct primarily to the foundation account to build perpetual income.

Examples only — replace Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3 with actual dollar breakpoints as determined by the board.
