Spanish term
fondos propios
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Accounting
Context: an NGO balance sheet.
I'd translate it into "equity" or "shareholder's equity", but given the non-profit context I'm not very sure those are suitable so I grow wary. Maybe "own funds" being more general would do the job? Please give suggestions. Thanks in advance.

capital and reserves
On a balance sheet, the translation for fondos propios is (at least in UK English) capital and reserves. This seems to work for NGOs as well. Please see refs and search for the term (it may be written capital & reserves in some cases)

Shareholders' funds is the balance sheet value of the shareholders' interest in a company. For company (as opposed to group) accounts it is simply all assets less all liabilities. For consolidated group accounts the the value of minority interests should also be excluded.

: If NGO's are non-profit institutions, how can they have shareholders?

(own) counterpart
And instead of (own) you could use the name of the beneficiary of the funds. NGO related context. For example (in many similar documents I've translated):
