Unrestricted contribution definition

What is an Unrestricted Contribution?

An unrestricted contribution is funds or other assets given to a nonprofit entity with no restriction on their use. The nonprofit can then employ the contribution in any way it chooses. These types of contributions are usually directed at the funding of operational expenses, since restricted contributions are usually targeted at other areas of a nonprofit.
