Accounting for money given for specific use

by Lory
(Pocatello, Idaho, USA)

We often receive money for special programs for the community.

We also receive money for scholarships to church camps and flowers at Easter and Christmas.

Should these gifts be recorded in an income account or can they be put into a Gift Liability account since the money will be used at a later time?
