Note: Do not use an eGC1 for processing gifts. Review Distinguishing between a gift, sponsored program, or service activity. You also should review the Gift Processing Guidelines which provide additional information on whether something should be routed through UW Gift Services.

Sponsored Program Activity Type

Select a value from the drop-down menu. It is organized by Institutional Activity Types: Organized Research, Instruction, and Other Sponsored Activity.
