Fiscal Year End Procedures

Information regarding the Foundation's 2024 fiscal year end procedures can be found here

Disbursement Guidelines

To request funds, please complete one of the following forms. â€‹

​

  • Transfer Check Disbursement Request (TCDR): Use a TCDR to request a transfer of funds from the Foundation to UO Cashiers, including:

    • Furniture and equipment purchases made by university employees that are greater than $5,000 or high-risk equipment;​

    • Employee awards, salaries, or other taxable benefits for university employees.

​

  • Check Disbursement Request (CDR): Use this form for reimbursement of a personal payment and for all other payments not listed above.

    • Effective June 28th, we no longer accept CDRs via email. All requests must be submitted using the online submission platform, Laserfiche Forms. Instructions on how to use, access, or request access to the platform can be found here. ​

    • Please Note: At this time, TCDRs (Transfer Check Disbursement Requests) should continue to be sent via askaccounting@uofoundation.org. We are still in the process of building the online TCDR submission platform.

​

  • Scholarships: Student awards, scholarships, and student travel are paid by Electronic Resource Aid Requisition through the UO Financial Aid & Scholarships Office (541-346-3221). 

    • Reimbursements are not permitted for campus parking, key deposits, fines, or tickets. ​

​

Quasi-Endowed Funds: Quasi fund monies are available for spending, with the expectation that monies will be spent over a period long enough to justify investment risk. Withdrawals larger than $500,000 must be requested one quarter in advance to ensure adequate time to liquidate investments. Please note liquidations beyond calculated quarterly distributions are subject to timing of market risk. A quasi-endowed fund should not be considered similar to a checking account, therefore submission of several small liquidation requests is strongly discouraged. Forecasting to request necessary amounts in total is appreciated. 

TCDR Instructions

Please refer to the Check Disbursement Requests page for guidelines on how to use, access, or request access to the online CDR submission platform.

 

To submit a Transfer Check Disbursement Request (TCDR), please refer to the instructions below. â€‹

​

  • Complete the TCDR form.

    • Campus expense codes can be located here.​

​

  • Attach all related invoices and receipts.​

    • If the expense amount is between $25 and $75, a credit card receipt will suffice as appropriate documentation in lieu of an itemized receipt. If a credit card receipt does not exist, a bank statement or other form of documentation must be submitted to support proof of purchase. In the event that there is no documentation to support proof of purchase for the expense, a missing receipt affidavit is required. ​

    • Please complete a missing receipt affidavit if any expenses greater than $75 are not accompanied by a receipt.

    • Receipts must be submitted within six months for reimbursement. 

​

  • Obtain a signature from an authorized signer for the fund listed.​

    • Please note that when paying a reimbursement to an individual who is an authorized signer, the signature of another authorized signer is required. ​

​

​

​

​

  • Please note: disbursement requests received by Wednesday at 5:00 pm will be paid on Wednesday of the 2nd following week. This allows nine business days for review and processing. 

Payment Schedule

Effective 1/2/2023, the Foundation will issue paper checks on the third Wednesday of each month only. We will no longer issue paper checks on a semi-monthly basis. 

​

We will continue to issue  ACH (direct deposit) payments weekly, on Wednesdays. We strongly encourage you to sign up for ACH payments. To do so, please contact us at askaccounting@uofoundation.org and include "AP ACH set up" in the subject line of your email.  

​

ACH is safe, secure, and will often expedite your payment. 

​

Disbursement requests received by Wednesday at 5:00 pm will be paid on Wednesday of the 2nd following week. This allows nine business days for review and processing. Please note that we are experiencing an extremely high volume of disbursement requests. We will make every effort to follow this schedule; however, we may need additional processing time depending on the volume of requests. We appreciate your patience and support.

 

This schedule is subject to change. Revision to the schedule will be announced as far in advance as possible. 

Supplemental Forms

If applicable, a requester may be required to complete one or more of the following forms in order to complete a transfer or disbursement.
