  I use a virtual set of books for this (because we want to track ALL 
giving, not just tax deductible) and I do use separate accounts for each 
donee in a hierarchy of classification (health, environmental, arts & 
letters, etc. ). But that is mainly so that we can easily see as we go 
through the year which organizations have or have not received their 
annual donation, running totals of categories, etc.

Most of you would have little need for such detail.
