I am about to set-up an accounting system for a non-profit organization. Would
Quickbooks, or Quicken, be the better choice.

This all depends on what you have to get done. I use QBW. I'd say it's about a
50-50 split on the messages I've been involved with. One of the big issues is
A/R and A/P. If you have substantial needs there, I'd definitely recommend QBW.
Funds can be handled in either….

Randy,
It is my understanding the MOST non-profit organizations don't need equity
accounts. Both versions of QuickBooks have them.
I went to the school that dictates keeping things simple.
Like the person said, "What are your needs?
If you just need to keep track of where the money came from and where it went,
Quicken should be sufucient. If you need a more sophisticated accounting
package with recievables, payables or inventory capabilities, the QuickBooks is
more likely the way to go.
Hope that helps.
