No credit union shall make any gift or donation having a value in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) unless the gift or donation is in the best interest of the credit union, is approved by a resolution of the board of directors and is in conformance with any regulation or order that the commissioner may issue. The resolution of the board of directors approving the gift or donation shall identify the recipient of the gift or donation, state the value of the gift or donation, and specify the basis for the board’s determination that the gift or donation is in the best interests of the credit union.
