Budgeting Basics for Nonprofits

Gain a better understanding of practical budgeting skills for nonprofit management and learn how to make your nonprofit's programs thrive.

People don't come to nonprofits to do accounting. Whether as staff or volunteers, people running or serving on a nonprofit are mission focused. It's no wonder that even the bedrock of a nonprofit's financial health, the budget, is at best, avoided, and often an afterthought in nonprofit's planning regimen. . Budget Basics for Nonprofits aims to take the fear and reluctance out of the budgeting. It will deliver a solid overview of the process and provide helpful tools to get the learner started on creating a budget for their nonprofit or program within their nonprofit. Important concepts covered in this presentation include how budgets arise from a nonprofit's mission, the pros and cons of the types of budgeting methods, budgeting for revenue generation, emotional aspects of budgeting, benchmarks for spending and fundraising, and more. This program is for anyone who cares about how to make their nonprofit's programs thrive.
