    • The Finance Executive must evaluate non-standard or high-value gifts for:

      • Alignment with Foothills’ mission, values, and space constraints

      • Ongoing maintenance or storage requirements

      • Legal or safety considerations

  • Acceptance and Documentation

    • Donors must receive written confirmation for accepted in-kind contributions when requested.
