/What are Net Assets Released from Restrictions?
Net assets released from restrictions refers to those restricted assets that have been re-classified as unrestricted net assets. This transfer occurs because the original donor-imposed restrictions associated with certain assets have been satisfied. The outcome is greater availability of funding for the alternative activities of a nonprofit entity.
