Restricted funds
Money that must be spent on particular purposes set by the donor or the terms of an appeal.

Total funds

Reserves

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.
