Types of FUNDS

Restricted : Un-Restricted : Endowment

Restricted

Contributions designated by donor for a specific college of ATSU, program, department, or initiative are known as restricted funds. Scholarship funds are this type of fund.

Un-Restricted

Contributions not designated by our donors for a specific college of ATSU, program, or department are known as unrestricted funds. This gift category is of significant importance in that it provides the Board of Trustees and administration the discretion to direct funding to current and priority needs, and, to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, providing support for a variety of needs across our University.
