<br />NUMBER:
<br />EFFECTIVE: August 8, 2016
<br />SUBJECT: DONATIONS, SPONSORSHIP AND CITY -RELATED
<br />FOUNDATION GRANT POLICY
<br />1. PURPOSE
<br />In the past, the City has been the beneficiary of many important and valuable contributions and
<br />gifts from the residents of Redwood City. Gifts and donations have taken the form of time,
<br />money, art, equipment, park amenities, and services rendered free or below cost, among other
<br />valuable commodities.
<br />This policy is intended to establish a framework to direct the City in establishing guidelines for
<br />acceptance of donations, sponsorships, and City -related foundation grants. The City desires
<br />to support the City and City -related foundations to pursue donations, sponsorships, and grants
<br />with the purpose of creating opportunities for partnerships and enhancing revenue for the City.
<br />The City also encourages Public -Private Partnerships that provide donations, funding, and
<br />volunteer assistance to support and enhance City services.
<br />2. DEFINITIONS
<br />2.1. Amenity: An improvement located on City property which is less than the entire
<br />portion of a City property, such as a wall at a park, a plaza in front of a City building,
<br />a trail located along City property, or an interior room or rooms in a building. An
<br />amenity may include any of the following if located on City property: plazas that
<br />constitute only a portion of a larger parcel of City property, gazebos, archways,
<br />paths, decks or patios, portions of a library collection, interpretive centers,
<br />educational installations, computer labs, athletic facilities that are not fully enclosed
<br />structures, playing fields, portions of aquatic facilities that are not enclosed
<br />structures or City buildings, picnic areas, tot lots, play structures, hard courts, and
<br />trail segments. Fully enclosed structures such as a City building with walls and a
<br />roof (examples being a community center, stand-alone gym, warehouse, or stand-
<br />alone building housing a restroom and locker room) are not considered to be an
<br />amenity.
<br />2.2. Donation: A person or entity providing the City with financial support or property of
<br />a value exceeding the City's payment for such item. Furthermore, a donor typically
<br />does not expect to receive a substantial return or recognition from the City in return
<br />for the donation. A donation may consist of an amenity, cash, real property (land),
<br />in-kind donation, or work of art. Donations may be unrestricted or restricted by the
<br />donor.
<br />2.3. Donor: A company, organization, or individual who provides the City, or one of the
<br />City departments, a donation without expectation of significant return or
<br />recognition.
