Oakland Asian Cultural Center Gift Acceptance Policy
Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) relies on charitable contributions to fulfill its mission. As a small organization with limited space and processing resources, OACC encourages donors to seek their own legal or tax counsel before making a gift.
OACC accepts donations of cash and appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds), highly cost-effective assets to use in making a charitable gift.
Tangible items offered to OACC may be accepted if they can be readily sold or if they are of “related use.” Before making a tangible items gift, donors are highly encouraged to consult with OACC’s Executive Director on the fitness of the gift for OACC’s mission and operational priorities. OACC will clarify with the donor under what circumstances, if any, it will pay for legal or professional fees with respect to completing a gift.
OACC reserves the right to refuse any gift that it believes is too restrictive in purpose or not in its best interest. The acceptance of a questionable gift or the decision to fulfill a questionable request from a donor will be brought to the board of directors. The board’s discussion will be guided by consistency with our mission and preservation of our goodwill in the community. Upon board approval (or, for non-permanent collections, after the manager’s approval), we will send you a Gift Agreement, which is the document that transfers legal ownership of the object from you to us. Once we receive the signed Gift Agreement, your object becomes part of OACC’s property, to be incorporated into our programs and activities accordingly.
To learn more or to make a gift, please contact OACC’s Development Manager, Dharma Galang by email at dharmagalang@oacc.cc or call 510.637.0465
