For department directors, managers, and grantwriters with little or no budgeting experience.
When you develop a new program or a grant proposal, creating the budget serves as an important planning tool. The budget process helps you determine the feasibility of the program by considering the impact on human resources and cost effectiveness. This workshop provides a no-nonsense approach to budgeting, and it will introduce you to basic terminology as well as the how-tos of categorizing and estimating expenses and revenue. You will have a hands-on opportunity to apply what you learn by creating a budget for a mock proposal.
Participants will obtain a working knowledge of how to develop and use financial information and budgeting to successfully manage nonprofit programs and create budgets for grants.
