Nonprofit assets

Property and equipment, including anything a funder retains an interest in.

Nonprofit assets in SigmaPointPi

Equipment bought with grant money often carries conditions: it must be used for the award purpose, and disposing of it above a threshold may require returning a share of the proceeds.

Each asset records how it was funded, so a federal interest is visible rather than discovered at disposal.

How to work this page

Record the funding source on every asset

Which award paid for it, and what interest that award retains.

Depreciate on a stated policy

Useful lives by class, applied consistently. Grant funded assets often have specific requirements.

Inventory physically

Federal rules require a physical inventory and reconciliation on a set interval. It is a common finding when skipped.

Follow the rules on disposal

Above the threshold, disposing of grant funded equipment may require the funder's share of proceeds. The condition is on the asset.

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

What is the capitalisation threshold?

Your policy sets it, subject to any funder maximum. Below it, items are expensed and still tracked if a funder requires it.

What about donated assets?

Recorded at fair value on receipt, which is contribution revenue. Donated services are recognised only in narrow circumstances.
