The Council for Aid to Education (CAE), in conjunction with the CASE, establishes detailed guidelines regarding the structure of educational fundraising reporting. This structure classifies entity types and establishes a hierarchy to determine how legal credit should be allocated if an entity has multiple relationships with the institution. Following these guidelines, GW utilizes the following hierarchy for individual records:
Alumni: Alumni, Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Former Students
Parents: Current and former parents and grandparents who are not alumni
Faculty/Staff: Current and former faculty/staff who are not alumni
Friend: An individual who does not fall within the other three categories
Organization records are assigned record types based on the advisement of the individual requesting the record creation. Since organization records do not typically represent more than one classification, there is no hierarchy performed within this section. CASE defines organizational records as the following:
Corporation: Corporations, businesses, partnerships, and cooperative organized for profit-making purposes, including corporation foundations
Foundation: Private tax-exempt entities operated exclusively for charitable purposes
Family Foundation: Entities operating as conduits for charitable donations for an individual or immediately family
Other Organization: All organizational records not defined as Corporation, Foundation, or Family Foundation
Also following CAE and CASE reporting guidelines, all giving totals represented in the report are defined based on the entity who received the legal (“hard”) credit for the commitment. All gifts through corporations, foundations, and family foundations are reported within that entity type, rather than through recognition (“soft”) credit.
