The Fair Value Option Subsections of Subtopic 825-10 create a [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") option under which a [not-for-profit entity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#not-for-profit-entity "An entity that possesses the following characteristics, in varying degrees, that distinguish it from a business entity: Contributions of significant amounts of resources from resource providers who do not expect commensurate or proportionate pecuniary return Operating purposes other than to provide goods or services at a profit Absence of ownership interests like those of business entities. Entities that clearly fall outside this definition include the following: All investor-owned entities Entities that provide dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly and proportionately to their owners, members, or participants, such as mutual insurance entities, credit unions, farm and rural electric cooperatives, and employee benefit plans.") (NFP) may irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measure for most receivables. If an NFP elects to measure a receivable at fair value and uses a present value technique to measure fair value, the discount rate assumptions, and all other elements discussed in paragraph [820-10-55-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-55-5) shall be revised at each measurement date to reflect current market conditions. Paragraph [820-10-35-2B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-2B) states that a fair value measurement takes into account the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset if market participants would take into account the effect of the restriction when pricing the asset. Example 6 (see paragraph [820-10-55-51](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-55-51)) illustrates that restrictions that are a characteristic of an asset and, therefore, would transfer to a market participant are the only restrictions reflected in fair value. Donor restrictions that are specific to the donee are reflected in the classification of [net assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-assets "The excess or deficiency of assets over liabilities of a not-for-profit entity, which is divided into two mutually exclusive classes according to the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. See Net Assets with Donor Restrictions and Net Assets without Donor Restrictions."), not in the measurement of fair value.

After recognition, the value of a [contribution](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contribution "An unconditional transfer of cash or other assets, as well as unconditional promises to give, to an entity or a reduction, settlement, or cancellation of its liabilities in a voluntary nonreciprocal transfer by another entity acting other than as an owner. Those characteristics distinguish contributions from:Exchange transactions, which are reciprocal transfers in which each party receives and sacrifices approximately commensurate valueInvestments by owners and distributions to owners, which are nonreciprocal transfers between an entity and its ownersOther nonreciprocal transfers, such as impositions of taxes or legal judgments, fines, and thefts, which are not voluntary transfers. In a contribution transaction, the resource provider often receives value indirectly by providing a societal benefit although that benefit is not considered to be of commensurate value. In an exchange transaction, the potential public benefits are secondary to the potential direct benefits to the resource provider. The term contribution revenue is used to apply to transactions that are part of the entity's ongoing major or central activities (revenues), or are peripheral or incidental to the entity (gains). See also Inherent Contribution and Conditional Contribution.") arising from an [unconditional promise to give](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#unconditional-promise-to-give "A promise to give that depends only on passage of time or demand by the promisee for performance.") cash or noncash assets (contribution receivable) may change because of any of the following reasons:

If the value of a contribution receivable decreases because of changes in the quantity or nature of assets expected to be received, the decrease shall be recognized in the period(s) in which the expectation changes. That decrease shall be reported as an expense or loss (bad debt) in accordance with paragraph [958-310-45-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/310/958/#310-958-45-3).

If the value of a contribution receivable increases because of changes in the quantity or nature of assets expected to be received and previous decreases in the value of that unconditional promise to give resulted in expenses or losses from bad debts, the increase shall be reported as a recovery of those expenses or losses to the extent that those expenses or losses were previously recognized.

The value of a contribution receivable arising from an unconditional promise to give equity securities with readily determinable fair values or debt securities may change between the date the unconditional promise to give is recognized and the date the asset promised is received because of changes in the future fair value of the underlying securities. For purposes of subsequent measurement, the method of determining the future fair value of the underlying securities shall be the same as the method used for determining that amount for purposes of initial measurement. Thus, if a promise to give securities is measured based on the fair value of the underlying securities at the date of gift, as described in paragraph [958-605-30-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/605/958/#605-958-30-8), an observed change in the current fair value of the underlying securities shall be recognized. The change shall be reported as an increase or a decrease in contribution revenue in the period(s) in which the change occurs. The change shall be recognized in the net asset class in which the contribution was originally reported or in the net asset class in which the net assets are represented.

The value of a contribution receivable arising from an unconditional promise to give noncash assets other than equity securities with readily determinable fair values or debt securities may change between the date the unconditional promise to give is recognized and the date the asset promised is received because of changes in the future fair value of the underlying noncash assets. For purposes of subsequent measurement, the method for determining the future fair value of the underlying noncash asset shall be the same as the method used for determining that amount for purposes of initial measurement. Accordingly, assumed relationships, such as the relationship between the market price of the noncash asset at the time the initial measurement is made and its projected market price at the date the asset is expected to be received, shall be presumed to continue in determining whether the future fair value of the underlying noncash asset has changed.

If the future fair value of the underlying noncash asset decreases, that decrease shall be reported as a decrease in contribution revenue in the period(s) in which the decrease occurs. The decrease shall be reported in the net asset class in which the contribution was originally reported or in the net asset class in which the net assets are represented. Thus, if a promise to give noncash assets is measured based on the fair value of those underlying noncash assets at the date of gift, as described in paragraph [958-605-30-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/605/958/#605-958-30-8), an observed decrease in the current fair value of the underlying noncash asset shall be recognized. If the future fair value of the underlying noncash asset increases between the date the unconditional promise to give is recognized and the date the asset promised is received, no additional revenue shall be recognized.
