Entries for Expensing Unrestricted Funds

I'm still learning about some basics for nonprofit accounting.

We have a project that we have allocated some of our Unrestricted Funds for that is not a part of our annual budget.

We have classes of Restricted, Unrestricted and Projects set up in Quickbooks.

What would be the journal entries for expensing this project when it's not a part of our regular budget?

Should Unrestricted Funds that are carried each year always be shown on the annual budget as opposed to just the projected income and expenses for the year? Or do projects like this just get expensed and reported through entries that only affect the financial statement? Thank you!

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
