Hey this is great and that starting point is good. Reviewing it now.... 
Looks like Bkuhn was also doing some work here in the ledger repository on 
Github. 
https://github.com/ledger/ledger/tree/next/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports

I wonder if it makes sense to merge the progress from 
https://k.sfconservancy.org/NPO-Accounting/npo-ledger-cli 
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fk.sfconservancy.org%2FNPO-Accounting%2Fnpo-ledger-cli&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEp2069OybTvmdiQ2z6NN5VNroc7A>
  
to the GitHub repository? 

Anyways, I have only recently started maintaining my own code on Github, 
never contributed to a project. 
What is the protocol here? 
Fork the codebase and start working like bkuhn did here 
*tree/next/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports* or start a new repository?

Back to the question at hand with the Chart of Accounts. 

I have* attached a deep chart of accounts * *fund_accounts.dat* with codes 
that I created but I am hesitant to start using it as it seems a bit 
verbose. 

I am not yet too familiar with the MetaData Tagging "tags" but perhaps 
these can be used to show Program Level and/or Grant Related Revenues and 
Expenditures.
