There are two components to the reporting requirements for gifts: gifts promised and gifts given. Each of these two components are separate actions that must be reported in an organization’s Registration Return.

Example: An invitation to an event help in April was sent to a POH in May.

Gift(s) Offered/Promised:

• MWCS would need to file a Registration Return Update by no-later than April 15^th to report having offered/promised any gift(s) associated to this event. The date to be entered for this would be the date that the invitation was sent to the public office holder. A separate entry must be made for each public office holder to whom this invitation (with associated gifts) was sent.

Gift(s) Given:

• If the event occurs on April 1^st, MWCS would be required to file a Registration Return Update by no later than May 15^th to update the Gifts Offered/Promised entries to indicate that any such gift(s) have actually been given.
