BUILD - Budgeting Essentials for Community Groups

Unlock your community group’s potential by mastering budgeting essentials—plan, fund, and measure your projects with confidence.

Overview

A budget is a plan of how money will be used to achieve a group’s goals. Preparing a budget is essential for determining if a plan, project, or program is feasible and provides a means for measuring results and performance.

This session covers the fundamentals of budgeting for community groups, outlines steps for formulating project and program budgets, and introduces a budgeting tool for forward planning and managing program success.
