Thank you so much.  I had the expense recorded but had never received funds that were not true donations.

In this scenario how would you handle money collected from members to cover a budgeted expense and more money is collected than was spent? afterwards it is decided to use the excess funds to cover other expenses after the excess has been credited as donations? I have been posting the money collected to prepaid expense and reimbursing from the same but this doesn't seem like accurate bookkeeping.
