- Restricted funds
- Money that must be spent on particular purposes set by the donor or the terms of an appeal.
- Endowment funds
- Capital the charity must keep, either permanently or until the terms allow it to be spent.
- Total funds
- All funds together. Equal to net assets.
- Reserves
- The charity's own figure for unrestricted funds that are freely available, after setting aside fixed assets and designated funds. Charities explain their reserves policy in their annual report.
- Assets besides buildings
- Long-term investments plus other assets (cash, money owed to the charity and short-term investments), before its debts are paid. If declared reserves are larger than this, they must include buildings.
