In a not-for-profit firm, equity is mainly the fund raised by the firm. In investor owned firms as well as not for profit firms, equity is basically the assets retained after paying debts. Equity is also called funds balance for non-profit organisations. Equity reflects the financial strength of the organisation in both cases. In case of a not-for-profit firm, we have " Total Liabilities and fund balance" in place of "Total Liabilities and equity" for investor-owned firms which is equal to total assets. Not-for-profit firms are subject to nonprofit corporation laws of the state versus business corporation laws for investor-owned firms.
