Why would you have 2 separate instances of GnuCash rather than simply 2

Why not?  :-)

Chris, helping you MIGHT well include questioning why you have two instances. Like I said, I have done this so know some of the good reasons.

The folks trying to help by saying you should only have one set of books are correct, simpler, easier. IF YOU CAN. For example, is your building committee only allowed to see building fund transactions?  Your board not allowed to see how building fund invested? Those WOULD be reasons for separate books in spite of the extra work entailed.

Just because you can not a good enough reason unless you are an experienced enough bookkeeper not to need "how" help. Understand? I help non-profits and would help you with the "how" IF NEEDED. So you'd have to convince me you need two sets of books.

PS -- Most orgs of your sort have the reverse problem, several distinct "restricted" funds with the money kept in just one bank account (not a separate account for each as a large org might have) or even in the operational account (and of course all checks/deposits to the operational account)
