[GNC] How to manage earmarked funds

[Fred Frazelle]

Dear sirs:

     We are a non-profit and receive contributions.  Every once in a 
while the Assembly sets up a fund for something special, like a Center 
and the believers contribute.  The money in this fund cannot be used for 
anything else.  Since we are just setting this up, we already have some 
money in one of these Funds.  We set the account Center up as a 
liability, since it hasn't been built yet but then the program says 
Imbalance (i really like this feature - you can see immediately that 
something is amiss - lol).  i already have the monetary amount listed in 
one of the Equity/Opening Balances. Obviously i'm not an accountant and 
am trying to wrap my head around this...

     Have a wonderful morning! :-)

     fred
