268. Any institution may receive gifts, legacies, subsidies or other voluntary contributions from any person or any public or private body wishing to assist in the carrying out of the mission of a centre administered by an institution.
However, no institution may, without the prior authorization of the regional board, accept gifts, legacies, subsidies or other contributions to which direct or indirect charges for an amount greater than that fixed by regulation of the Minister are attached, except from the Gouvernement du Québec or from departments and agencies whose operating expenses are borne by the consolidated revenue fund. In that case, the Government, the department or the agency concerned must notify the regional board thereof.
Any gift of equipment of a greater value than that fixed by regulation of the Minister is, for the purposes of the second paragraph, deemed to entail a charge.
The gift of an immovable is subject to section 260.
