Assets Financial resources for use in accomplishing our
organization’s mission. These can be either Current Assets which are readily accessible (like cash), or Long- Term Assets which take more time and effort to access (like certain stock investments or property and equipment).
Liabilities Financial obligations owed by our organizations. These
can take many forms such as accounts payable, salaries payable, payroll taxes payable, deferred revenue for work not yet performed, or any other service or money owed to another party.
4
Support and Revenue For nonprofits, the important question is: When do we count the income as income?
Hoped for vs. Pledged vs. Committed vs. Received
Is it restricted to a specific purpose or condition?
Is it restricted to a specific time?
Expenses Like revenue, we need to know when to
report: Did we receive an invoice?
When did the activity covered by the expense occur?
Was the expense related to a specific grant or other specific source of revenue?
5
Net Assets and Their Classifications Unrestricted Contributions received that have no donor-imposed restrictions.
Often referred to as general support.
May also refer to the amount released from a temporary restriction.
Temporarily Restricted Contributions received which have restrictions placed on their use by
the donor. These restrictions can be satisfied by passage of specified time or fulfillment of specified purpose.
Permanently Restricted Most often associated with endowments, these contributions are
permanently restricted such that the principal balance of the gift may not be invaded. Examples could include a) endowed funds whose principal is allowed to accrue interest or income for the use of the organization or b) a gift of a building for permanent use as the organization’s offices but not to be sold.
6
One of the most important line items to monitor for any
nonprofit organization is the Unrestricted Fund
Balance or
Total Unrestricted Net Assets
You may find this line item on both the
Statement of Activities and Statement of Financial Position

Statement of Financial Position Basic financial report showing assets and
liabilities as of a given date. This is a snapshot
of your available resources and outstanding
obligations, showing you what you have to work
with.
This report is the equivalent of a balance sheet
in a for-profit business and this information is
recorded in the IRS Form 990, Part X, “Balance
Sheet” section.
This report is required in order for your audited
financial statements to be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
standards (GAAP).

Statement of Activities Basic financial report showing support and revenue, expenses, and
the net effect on total assets for a given period. This is an historical
record of activity for a given time period.
Similar to Income Statement or Profit & Loss Statement of a for-profit
business, except that activity is separated based on its net asset
classification: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently
restricted. The unrestricted column of this report is reported on Part
VIII, “Statement of Revenue” and Part IX, “Statement of Functional
Expenses” of the new IRS Form 990.
This report is required in order for your audited financial statements to
be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
standards (GAAP).
