Funds credited to the trust fund, excluding the administrative fees paid to the Department of Revenue, may be used for, but are not limited to:

1. (1) administration of this article including, but not limited to, personnel and board expenses;
2. (2) development and promotion of organ and tissue donor public awareness educational programs in cooperation with the South Carolina Donor Network including, but not limited to, the American Red Cross Southeastern Tissues Services, the South Carolina Lions Eye Bank, the South Carolina Organ Procurement Agency, the Living Bank, and the United Network for Organ Sharing;
3. (3) encouraging the incorporation of organ and tissue donation education into the medical and nursing school curriculums of the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of South Carolina; if funds are provided to a university for this educational purpose, the university annually shall conduct a survey to determine if attitudes of its students and graduates have been altered by the curriculum. The results of the survey must be submitted to the trust fund;
4. (4) a reserve fund in an interest-bearing account with five percent of the funds received by the trust fund annually to be placed in this account. No withdrawals may be made from this account until the minimum balance has reached one hundred thousand dollars and then these funds only may be used in years in which donations do not meet the average normal operating cost incurred by the trust fund and funds are needed to meet expenses. Once the balance in the reserve funds reaches one hundred thousand dollars, excess funds earned by interest and yearly allocations may be used at the discretion of the board to cover operating costs and to provide additional funds.
