Why not just keep a separate fund for each purpose and as these donations come in you route out the portions to the desired fund? If that is what's done then what's the difficult part that I'm missing?

So in some sense it was just what you say, but that roughly doubles the amount of work done for accounting software. It also meant that most private-sector software was insufficient for the task.
