I'm setting up a local nonprofit with GnuCash books. It's a bare-bones

When I run a Balance Sheet report in 4.13, there's a final line, "Total
for Liability and Equity". Of course that's appropriate in most cases,
but in this case it's redundant with the "Total for Equity" line.
I've tried the Display options that seem appropriate, but haven't found
any that suppress that line. Is there any way I can modify the report to
suppress the "Total for Liability and Equity" line?
Let me ask you a question. How do you know your little bare-bones
non-profit organization will never have a liability?
Even with no intent to borrow money, no organizational credit card, etc.
Think about these possibilities.
a) There is going to be an event. Organization member X is assigned to
pick up certain supplies, goes to the stores and does so, paying with
their own funds. When they show up at the event with the goods and the
receipts, you, the treasurer give then a reimbursement check. How are
you entering these transactions?
b) There is a major project in the works which will require far more
than the organization normally has on hand. A member offers to give a
donation specifically for this project << formally restricted; if the
project is cancelled, that donation must be returned >> How are you
entering this donation?
As the Balance Sheet report stands, if you have no liabilities that is
clearly shown. Meanwhile, if you really don't want that line to show,
export the report form gnucash and edit it before printing.
