Wow looks like you got a lengthy reply.  Thanks for sharing!<p>So donations marked for expendables such as pizza or classroom costs are easily fungible.  It is a one off cost that won&#x27;t be compared year over year.<p>Interesting viewpoint that small earmarked donations toward non-expendables such as salaries are viewed as time bombs.  Sounds to me like acquiring fungible funds is pretty common and a major goal of finance and development offices.  That is, they want to encourage people to give unrestricted money.  They don&#x27;t want donations from people who don&#x27;t trust the organization as a whole.  Sounds reasonable.
