SUMMARY:Understanding Restricted Funds for Churches and Christian Ministries
DESCRIPTION:Many churches and ministries find donor-restricted funds challenging to manage, not because the accounting is inherently complex, but because processes for documenting restrictions, tracking balances, and reporting available resources are often inconsistent. As a result, organizations can experience uncertainty in financial reporting, questions about funds available for ministry needs, and concerns about properly honoring donor intent.\nJoin us for our upcoming webinar, Understanding Restricted Funds for Churches and Christian Ministries ( https://battershellnicholsblum.webinarninja.com/live-webinars/10831934/register ), where Robin Nichols, CPA, CGMA, will present a practical and repeatable approach to recording and managing donor-restricted funds in churches and Christian ministries.\nThis free one-hour webinar takes place Wednesday, August 26, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.\nDuring this session, you will learn how to:\n\nExplain the difference between donor-restricted funds and board-designated funds\nRecord restricted gifts in a consistent way and keep documentation organized\nTrack restricted balances and identify what funds are truly available to spend\nRecognize when restrictions are satisfied and how to document a release from restriction\nIdentify when endowments require extra care and what questions to ask before spending\n\n \nWe will also cover several common questions, including:\n\nWhat makes a gift donor-restricted?\nWhat is the difference between a donor restriction and a board designation (quasi-endowment)?\nHow should restricted gifts be recorded and tracked?\nWhen can restricted funds be released and used?\nWhat documentation should be maintained to support restricted balances?\nWhy are donor-restricted endowments treated differently from board-designated endowments?\n\n \nWhether you’re a pastor, executive pastor, church administrator, ministry leader, bookkeeper, treasurer, finance director, or finance committee member, this webinar will help you bring greater clarity and consistency to your organization’s financial reporting while honoring donor intent.\nClick here ( https://battershellnicholsblum.webinarninja.com/live-webinars/10831934/register ) to register. If you are unable to attend the live presentation, please register anyway and we will send you a link to the recorded webinar for convenient viewing afterward.\nCPE Credit Available:\nParticipants attending the live session can request CPE credit by emailing info@BNB.cpa ( mailto:info@bnb.cpa ) within one week and completing the course evaluation.\nWebinar CPE Info:\nPrerequisites and Preparation: None\nDesigned For: finance staff, pastors, treasurers, and  finance committee members\nCPE Credit: 1 hour, Technical\nFormat: Live webinar presentation\nRegister today to reserve your spot!\n
