Webinar: Creating a Realistic Budget
Workshop Title: Creating a Realistic Budget
Date Held: Saturday, February 17, 2007
Duration: 3 Hours
Viewing Requirements: All you need is an Internet connection of at least a DSL or Cable connection and Adobe Flash Player (free download below).
Workshop Description:
Whether large or small, it is in the best interest of all non-profits to develop a budget. A budget is an approved plan for raising funds and spending that provides the financial support to achieve the organization's goals.
In addition to itemizing the amount of money needed to achieve your goals and defining the sources for this money, budgets serve many other purposes. For example, budgets allow a non-profit to:
- Spend money cost-effectively,
- Provide a well thought out plan to a funder on how their money will be spent,
- Anticipate expenses and allocate money to pay for them,
- Control spending, and
- Measure and guide the organization's long-term financial health.
Workshop Components:
- Learn how to develop or enhance your organization's annual budget
- Review common cost classifications
- Walk through case studies
- Determine how to report and evaluate your organization's finances
- Identify where to recruit new finance committee members for your board
