Tracking grants

Hello. I work for a small charity and we are funded by various grants and therefore pay our expenses from a number of different grants.  How can I keep track of the running balance of each grant as I'm paying bills? I have been running a report periodically to keep track but there must be a simpler, more efficient way of knowing the various balances instantly.

 

Thank you!

Tracking grants

Hello Avril62,

 

You could set up each grant as a 'bank account', you could then enter an opening balance of the amount remaining of the grant and use these accounts to pay your bills, depending on which grant you are using to pay that specific bill. You can do this by going to accounting, then chart accounts and set them all up as 'cash at bank and in hand'. We would advise it would be best to speak to an accountant about this though, to make sure they are happy on how you set this up - as it may have to involve journal entries to ensure you are recording this correctly.

 

Thanks,

 

Talia
