Event Budget Creation

Project details

What we need
  • A detailed event budget that breaks down the total available funds into itemized cost categories
  • A flexible event budget template that can be reused for future event planning
  • Tips on how to stick to the budget and manage unexpected costs
Additional details

We run and host a lot of events for youth and as we continue to grow we want to ensure we have a budget that makes sense and sticks within our means. We have had a huge vision beyond our resources and that in the past has limited us.

We would like to breakout each event we have coming up and planned and create a budget for each one.

What we have in place
  • We currently have all of our events planned, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have raw data from previous events, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to pour into the events were offering to youth in the community as well as allocate to items needed on our wish list.

This project is important because we operate in a county that needs the work we do. To do a good job and make an impact WE need to ensure our behind the scenes are efficient, consistent and clear.

Project plan

P
Prep: Share & Review Event Information
  • Volunteer Manager provides Professional with the event plan or concept brief, which should include the total available budget, the purpose and goals of the event, and any known logistical aspects such as the expected number of guests, timing, location, etc.
  • Volunteer Manager provides Professional with any prior event budgets, including any known costs or vendors (such as the preferred venue, or a caterer that the Organization has worked with before)
  • Volunteer Manager indicates which aspects of the event are a ‘must have’ and which are a ‘nice to have’

Milestone 1: Draft Budget Review
  • Professional creates a draft of the budget with itemized cost areas, including recommended allocations and any known or fixed costs, and shares it with the Volunteer Manager
  • Volunteer Manager reviews the budget and provides up to two rounds of feedback
2
Milestone 2: Final Budget

Milestone 3: Recommendations
  • Professional provides Volunteer Manager with advice about how to manage the budget and any unexpected costs
