+Non-Profit Accounting With Ledger CLI, A Tutorial
+=================================================
+
+Non-profit organizations (NPOs), particularly 501(c)(3) charities in the USA,
+have their own specific accounting needs.  These often differ from for-profit
+accounting needs.  For example, for-profit-oriented systems often make
+problematic assumptions about the workflow of accounting tasks (often because
+NPOs rely primarily on donations, rather than fee-for-service or
+widget-selling income).  Also, non-profit income is categorized differently
+than for-profit income, and the reporting requirements vary wildly from their
+for-profit equivalents.
+
+This project is designed to provide some basic templates, tutorials, workflow
+documentation and scripts to handle accounting for an NPO.  The primary
+example is a
+[direct project (aka Model A) fiscal sponsor NPO](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship#Models_of_fiscal_sponsorship).
+
+This tutorial was written primarily based on
+[Software Freedom Conservancy](http://sfconservancy.org/)'s use of Ledger CLI
+from 2008-10-22 to present for its own accounting needs.  While Conservancy
+has done well using this system, and believes that its account system meets
+Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this document **does not**
+constitute advice from a CPA nor legal advice for a non-profit that seeks to
+comply with relevant state and/or federal accounting requirements for USA
+non-profits.  The authors make no representations nor warranties regarding
+this information and this information is provided for discussion purposes
+only.  Readers of these tutorial and templates are urged to seek professional
+advice from a CPA and/or tax legal counsel in constructing an accounting
+system appropriate for your organization.
+
+Furthermore, given the authors' limited knowledge of accounting requirements
+outside the USA, the suggestions herein probably are not particularly useful
+at all for organizations outside the USA.
+
+Configuration of Chart of Accounts
+----------------------------------
+
+The first thing any accountant will ask to see if your so-called "chart of
+accounts".  The first time I heard this phrase, I thought it was something
+complicated.  Fact of the matter is, it's really just a list of all the
+accounts that you use.  Accountants also use "account codes", which, as near
+as I can tell, are of primary interest because they get better sorting.
+Ledger CLI doesn't really support account codes, so I've ignored them.
+
+The real place that Ledger CLI stores your chart of accounts is if you use
+the `account` directive along with the `--pedantic` CLI option.  This will
+ensure that only accounts you declared explicitly will used.
+
+### Asset Accounts
+
+Our recommendation for asset accounts FIXME.
+
+
+### Reporting The Chart of Accounts
+
+The
+[`general-ledger-report.plx` script in the `non-profit-audit-reports` Ledger CLI contrib directory](https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/next/contrib/non-profit-audit-reports/general-ledger-report.plx)
+will generate a file called `chart-of-accounts.csv`, which is the chart of accounts.
