Nonprofits run on money that comes with strings attached. Donors restrict gifts to specific programs, grantors demand budget-versus-actual reports on their own fiscal calendars, and boards want to see fund balances the way a treasurer thinks about them, not the way a for-profit P&L presents them. Out of the box, Odoo Accounting is built for commercial trading: customer invoices, vendor bills, and a single retained-earnings model. There is no native concept of a restricted fund, a donor-acknowledgement receipt, a grant with reporting deadlines, or a program that must never overspend its earmarked money. Teams end up bolting fund tracking onto analytic accounts and side spreadsheets, which breaks the moment an auditor asks to see the release of restriction on a specific grant.

This is a build-to-order module that ECOSIRE designs and builds to fit how your organization is actually structured. Technically, we introduce first-class models: a restricted-fund model, a grant model with reporting schedules, and a donation/contribution model, each defined as a models.Model with proper fields, @api.depends computes for live fund balances and restriction-release amounts, and _inherit extensions on res.partner (donor stewardship fields, lifetime giving, tax-receipt history) and account.move / account.move.line (fund and grant tags on journal items). Restricted-fund rules are enforced server-side with @api.constrains and automated actions (ir.actions.server) so an expense cannot post against a fund that lacks available balance, and temporarily-restricted revenue releases to unrestricted only when the associated program condition is met.

On top of the data model we build the operational surface your team actually uses: OWL/XML form and list views for gift entry and pledges, a fund-balance dashboard, and QWeb PDF reports for donor tax receipts, grant budget-vs-actual, and a statement of functional expenses that maps expenses across program/administrative/fundraising columns. Security is scoped through ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so program managers see only their funds while finance sees everything, and multi-company record rules keep chapters or entities separated. Where you already collect gifts online or run a CRM, we wire the module to those systems over Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API so donations flow in without re-keying. Everything is delivered as a versioned addon compatible with your Odoo edition, and we are explicit about Community vs Enterprise: fund accounting and receipts work on Community, while some analytic and consolidation conveniences lean on Enterprise features, which we confirm during scoping.

Because this is made to order, nothing is downloaded from an app store and switched on the same afternoon. We start with a scoping call to map your chart of accounts, fund structure, grant reporting cadence, and integrations, then build against your Odoo version (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0), test on a staging database, run UAT with your finance team, and deploy with a rollback plan. Typical delivery is 2 to 4 weeks from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $349 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-entity/chapter consolidation, deeper grant-reporting logic, third-party donation-platform integrations, and historical data migration volume increase the quoted scope. You receive a fixed quote after the scoping call, never a surprise on the invoice.
