Summary

We learned a lot in this chapter about non-profit accounting using the business features of GnuCash.

Specifically, we covered:

• Non-profit accounting: Non-profits have special needs to maintain accounts for each event, project, or program separately. We saw how we can stretch the features of GnuCash to meet those needs.

• Personalizing GnuCash: We saw how to set preferences in GnuCash so that you can arrange the environment to suit your needs.

• Protecting GnuCash data: We covered backing-up and restoring data as well as options available for password protection.

Now that we've learned about backing up GnuCash data, we're ready to venture into importing data as well as exporting it – which are the topics of the next chapter.
