How can a nonprofit record memberships paid by customers and attribute the income to a grant saved as a project?

You can record your nonprofit income by creating a Sales receipt or an Invoice, Stacy. Allow me to provide the steps below.

Before generating a sales receipt or invoice, establish a service linked to an income account specifically for tracking membership payments.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Products and services. 
2. Click the New button and select Services.
3. Enter the name of the service. Then, assign which income account you want to attach to.
4. Once done, click Save and close.

After that, proceed to create a sales receipt or invoice.

Here's how:

1. Go to the +New icon and select either Invoice or Sales Receipt.
2. Enter the name of the customer.
3. Enter the service you've created earlier.
4. Make sure to assign the project correctly to ensure it is accurately recorded.

If you decide to create an invoice, ensure that you process the payment, so it reflects on your account.

Lastly, record the income to reflect in your account as a bank deposit.
