AN ANNUAL BUDGET…
An annual budget is a must have for your nonprofit organization, whether you are just starting or your organization is growing…
“BUT, Yara…I don’t even know where to start”
Don’t worry; this is why BCS is here 😉
Well…
- Funders request one when you are asking for funding
- It helps you stay on track with your fundraising goals & manage progress
- It helps you stay on track & see where you are with your operational and program expenses
BOTTOM LINE… a budget will help you stay accountable to the public – on track with your financials & cash flow and in compliance with accounting practices
And, even if you are not planning on having that many expenses or that many staff members or no staff at all
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A BUDGET FOR EVERY FISCAL YEAR FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION
SO….
- if you have no idea where to even begin OR
- if you have never created a budget OR
- if you have already started BUT are stuck OR
- if you simply need help or don’t want to deal with it
