COMDTINST 5760.12
Separate Foundation Gift Offers. The Foundation may also offer gifts throughout its gift
d.
year to the Coast Guard or Academy that are separate from and in addition to the gift items
listed on the Foundation's annual omnibus gift offer.
e.
Special Scrutiny of Certain Restricted Gifts. The Foundation has agreed to provide
Commandant (G-CFP), or the Superintendent where appropriate, with the identity of any
donor that contributes more than ,000 to the Foundation in any one restricted gift
transaction or who donates a total of more than 0,000 to the Foundation for multiple
restricted gifts during the Foundation's gift year. Commandant (G-CFP), or the
Superintendent where appropriate, shall conduct a prohibited source review as discussed in
paragraph 6. f. prior to accepting a restricted gift that exceeds those thresholds. A
paragraph 6. f. review is not required, but can be applied at the acceptance authority's
discretion, if the restricted gift value thresholds are not exceeded. It is understood that the
Foundation may offer a gift item to the Coast Guard but may not be able to identify a donor
or donors at that time because the Foundation intends to solicit donations for the gift item
later during the gift year. In such cases, Commandant (G-CFP), or the Superintendent
where appropriate, may accept the Foundation gift item subject to later scrutiny of the
donor or donors as necessary.
f.
Prohibited Source Review. Commandant (G-CV), Commandant (G-CFP) or the
Superintendent can accept a gift only after determining that it is in the Coast Guard's best
interest to do so. If the original donor is not a prohibited source, the restricted gift may be
accepted without the special scrutiny described in this paragraph. If the donor is a
prohibited source, the following must be considered prior to accepting the gift: the positive
impact on the Coast Guard in accepting the gift; the business or regulatory relationship
between the prohibited source donor and the Coast Guard; the nature and sensitivity of any
matter pending between the prohibited source donor and the Coast Guard; the likelihood of
