The East Berkshire PSC will accept donations of cash. Gifts of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of the East Berkshire PSC.
Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for East Berkshire PSC.
The East Berkshire PSC will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, the East Berkshire PSC will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
