CADA
A recoverable grant instrument for deploying capital assets — equipment, infrastructure, physical resources — into public-benefit institutions without creating debt obligations, contingent liabilities, or balance-sheet recognition for the recipient. The deploying foundation retains title, bears all risk, and in the worst case treats the deployment as a completed grant. No enforceable consideration. No extraction.
A charitable foundation deploys diagnostic imaging equipment to a regional public hospital under a CADA. Title remains with the foundation; the hospital has a right of use; the hospital may make voluntary contributions but cannot be compelled — and those contributions are not deductible gifts, so the foundation does not receipt them as such. If the hospital cannot contribute, the foundation's worst case is a completed grant — no debt on the hospital balance sheet, no concession to renegotiate.
