How to Create A Nonprofit Budget: Part 1/4

NOTE: I am not a CPA or tax attorney. Budgets can be hard and daunting if you have never devised one in this capacity. Watch this video to learn the tools to start your nonprofit budgets. Budgets help you fundraise better. Facts! EVERY dollar should have a destination. A budget sets the assignment and delegation of your funds. But that "b" word paralyzes us, especially as we try to calculate expenses of the early stages of development. You may ask what goes into the budget, how do we even start, or how do we track everything? I get it and I want to help you. Budgets are our exercise to fiscal health. We may not like the process but it gets the results we need for healthy outcomes. JOIN IN on this FREE live training about budgets that will be covered every Thursday at noon for the next 4 weeks with your team!
