subsection regarding fundraising.
(1) NPs may conduct fundraising to provide additional
funds for department operations, to enhance department programs, to
provide long-term endowments for department programs, to facilitate
special projects, or otherwise support the department in carrying
out its mission, but only as agreed in writing by the department in
advance.
(2) NPs may undertake programs for the benefit of the
department, so long as such programs are related to and supportive
of the department's mission and are agreed to in writing by the department
in advance. A single agreement may cover multiple programs.
(3) NPs shall decline donations that require actions,
including recognition, by the department for which the department
has not given prior written consent.
(4) Funds accepted by a NP for the benefit of the department
are to be managed as a reasonably prudent person would manage funds
if acting on his or her own behalf and such funds are to be accounted
for according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
(5) All projects undertaken for the department by a
CRNP must be related to and supportive of the facility, property,
or program with which a CRNP is associated or must further the CRNP's
mission related to the facility, property or program.
(6) All donations to a CRNP must benefit the facility,
property, or program with which the CRNP is associated or must further
the CRNPs mission related to the facility, property, or program.
(7) For purposes of this subsection, a donation for
the purpose of defraying the CRNP's operating costs furthers the CRNP's
mission related to the facility, property, or program.
(8) NPs shall adopt procedures that address acceptance
and granting of funds raised to benefit projects and/or programs of
the department.
(b) Nothing in this subchapter shall limit the ability
of a NP to make an unrestricted cash donation to the department. Such
a donation may be for a specific purpose or program.
(c) NPs may work together towards a common fundraising
goal for the benefit of the department, consistent with the requirements
of this subchapter.
