Hi all I'm de facto treasurer of a tiny UK charity (<GBP5000pa).
I'm brand new to GnuCash (it's fresh out of the box). I know the rudiments of double entry bookkeeping from copious reading over the past few months. UK charity reporting is quite onerous. What I need is: * To use cash basis accounting (but possibly 'traditional accounting' would be no more difficult, given we don't invoice/give credit?) * To separately report donations made by named individuals ** one donor might at different times donate using cash, PayPal, or direct bank transfer * To report whether a given payment was in pursuit of charitable aim "education", or charitable aim "relief of poverty", or general admin * To report what category a payment falls into: eg, premises hire, teacher fees, hardship grant to beneficiaries * To report whether a receipt or a payment is applied to the unrestricted fund or to the "hardship fund", the "free meals fund", etc ** (different funds are held on different trusts) * For unrestricted funds, whether the R or P is applied to a designated fund (eg, "provision for insurance") or is undesignated. Can GnuCash do this? If so, any pointers on how to get started? Massively broad question, I realise. My search of the archives suggest "Yes", but give guidance that is too advanced (and too conflicting) for my needs at this stage. Many thanks indeed.
