Fund Accounting for Nonprofits: In-Depth Guide to Basics
What Is Fund Accounting for Nonprofits: Basics and Best Practices

Nonprofit fund accounting makes it easier to understand financial reporting by generating more meaningful information.

The emphasis of fund accounting is accountability rather than profitability. A fund is like a separate company within your organization with its own self-balancing set of books to track assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and fund balances or net assets.

Fund accounting is necessary for nonprofits because the revenue earned by a nonprofit has different characteristics. Some funds are unrestricted, some have restrictions placed by funding sources and some have restrictions placed internally by the board. Some restrictions are temporary and some are permanent.
