These codes were originally defined by the Council for Financial Aid to Education (CFAE) to standardize gift recording and create the benchmarking report called the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) survey. The survey is now managed by CASE (The Council for Advancement and Support of Education). The codes are recorded on each allocation. The purposes include current use, endowment and property, buildings & equipment.
