general fund
Primary government account
A general fund is an organization's main pool of money for ordinary operating expenses, as distinguished from restricted funds earmarked for specific purposes.
In government, the general fund covers day-to-day costs like salaries, maintenance, and basic services: The city's general fund is running a deficit.
Nonprofits similarly separate general funds from grants tied to particular programs.
