Ok!

And for my comprehension, I understand why debit my bank, because money is adding but why credit revenue account if it's gaining money?

Basically members subscriptions is a revenue.. So when you enlist a donation and the member pays, you debit your bank account and credit your revenue account. This revenue account is dependent on your COA. In FA 5 Digit American COA its the 4xxx accounts..so you can choose any of them ..or you can add another i.e 4511 and Call it Membership Dues for example, and you credit this account.
Tell us what you did.
Good Luck

I have a nonprofit organization. To be member of it, people need to pay annual subscription and become valid members.

Members can have reductions or free access to some services but the subscription is more like a donation.

Thanks for the chart.

Take a look at this. I find it helpful.

Hi, I am a real n00b into Accounting, I was'nt in school since 25 years

I just want to know how to write an annual subscription for a new member of my nonprofit organization. I think I will debit my bank account, but what I should credit?

Thank you !
