Thanks everyone for the help. It think I figured it out. I incorrectly 
created my main account as a Cash account (because in my case its not in 
a bank). I changed my main account to "Bank", now to record the $100 
donation I make a deposit in the bank account and select my Donation 
account as the source. For me the income and expense accounts equate to 
categories in Quicken, its just mandatory here.

Thanks again everyone.
