Donors to a nonprofit organization may designate or restrict the use of their donations to a particular purpose or project. An example is a gift to a special scholarship fund at a university. Unrestricted funds are donations the nonprofit may use for any purpose. Unrestricted funds usually go toward the operating expenses of the organization or to a particular project that the nonprofit picks. Only the donor can determine if a donation is restricted or not.
Dr. Seuss-Mini Biography (TV-PG; 4:10) Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in 1904 in Massachusetts. He published his first children's book, âAnd to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,â under the name of Dr. Seuss in 1937. He has since become a world renowned children's author.
The bookâs runaway success inspired Seuss, his wife Helen, and Phyllis Cerf to found Beginner Books, a division of Random House that would publish books designed to help children learn to read. In the fall of 1958, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and four other titles launched the Beginner Books series, which would soon include P. D. Eastmanâs Go, Dog.
