Welcome to the Community, strathacc!

 

In QuickBooks Online you can create an income account and clearing account and a products or service item to track the donation. If you wanted to record it using owners equity account, you can do so my create a new equity account. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Transactions tab.
  2. Click on Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click on New.
  4. Under Account type choose Equity or owners equity account.
  5. Enter a name on how you want to show them on the reports.

To record the donation using the equity account create a journal entry to record them. To know which account to use, I recommend contacting your accountant to see if how best to record the donation.
