Newsbits – Study examines political leanings and donor behavior

Description

Abstract: This issue’s “Newsbits” discusses one study that examines the effects of political leanings on donor behavior, and another that reveals a significant drop in multiyear grants to charities. It also takes note of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-05, which addresses the diversity of nonprofit practices for classifying cash receipts from the sale of certain donated financial assets (including securities) in their statement of cash flows.
