Operating Budget

Project details

What we need
  • A detailed Operating Budget covering at least one full fiscal year
  • Expert advice on how to reconcile actual expenses with budgeted expenses
Additional details

We have a draft of a budget. But since our grants are all on different schedules and budget structures, we need support in completing the budget in a way that is not too confusing, and support with how to do projections and track budgets by grant in a more effective way.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a draft budget, listing all of our grants and all expenses, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have some individual grant budgets, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to keep 13 more kids out of the justice system.

We have been spinning our wheels and wasting precious staff time having to back track on expense allocations due to lack of effective budget to actual reporting for effective planning. If you can help us get this streamlined, we can spend more time reaching more kids!
