The Doctrine of Cy Pres N.H.2023. Com. (c) quot. in sup. College, which had received a charitable gift from decedent for the sole purpose of upgrading and maintaining its golf course, filed an application under the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) to modify the restrictions governing the fund created by the gift, after college decided to permanently close the golf course. The trial court denied motions to intervene filed by decedent's estate and by a former contingent beneficiary of the gift, finding that the putative intervenors lacked standing, and granted college's application. This court affirmed. The court pointed out that it was undisputed that the gift did not expressly provide a reverter back to decedent's estate or successor and explained that, under Restatement of the Law of Charitable Nonprofit Organizations § 3.02, absent contrary evidence, such as a gift over or a reversion, courts generally presumed that charitable gifts evinced a general charitable intent sufficient for the application of cy pres.
