The County of San Bernardino is frequently the recipient of items such as artifacts for the Museum, trees to be planted in parks, vehicles, event tickets and real property offered to the County as gifts. The County Board of Supervisors accepts donations and gifts offered to the County for the use, benefit and advantage of the citizens of San Bernardino County or other public purpose. In addition, donations may be made at the behest of elected officials for legislative, governmental or charitable purposes.

The State of California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Regulations 18944.1 and 18944.2 require that agencies receiving gifts prepare and post the California Form 802-Tickets Provided by Agency Report and/or the California Form 801-Gift to Agency Report, respectively. These reports, along with the County policy governing the distribution of tickets, are available here.
