When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Guess we are all thinking alike. I posted my answer and found LJ and Jarry had both posted the same at the same time.

Non-restricted Capital
pag. 17 e.v. als voorbeeld
Vele NGOs hebben het totale eigen vermogen onderverdeeld in vrij besteedbaar (incl. algemene reserve en bestemmingsreserve), niet-vrij besteedbaar (of zoals Novib het noemt: vastgelegd vermogen).
http://www.oxfam.org.uk/resources/downloads/reports/report_a...
pag. 30 Oxfam UK heeft het over Restricted Funds, Designated funds, Charitable funds.
In mijn ervaring als accountant, ben ik nooit de term Own Capital tegen gekomen. Op hoofdlijnen zou ik in deze situatie Eigen Vermogen splitsen in Vrij besteedbaar en Niet vrij besteedbaar vermogen en dit vevolgens naar het Engels vertalen als Non-restricted Capital en Restricted Capital.
Based on the information:
The part received by the national government is a subsidy for maybe the entire financial year or several years. Primarily used to execute projects or sustain the organization.
In NGOs we tend to work with restricted and non-restricted capital. Restricted capital being capital (money, grants, inventory, cars etc) received by a donor that sets strict rules on how to use the capital provided. Non-restricted capital is the term used for capital that can be used freely by the entity; like Own Capital. However the term Own Capital is not a term used commonly in financial reports.
Sorry for the mixed language response :)

: See my note above: If 'restricted' and 'non-restricted income' (for subdidies and self-generated funds respectively) are standard terms in the world of NGO's, why not use them?

In view of all the additional info you provide, you might want to use the term OWN GENERATED INCOME/RESOURCES.
As to the entity part: It is not unusual to refer to an "account" as being an "entity". For instance: just right it (an amount) off to general expense/promotion/incidemtals etc. It is just a way of talking and I doubt very much that EIGEN VERMOGEN would be a legal person.
