Melanie Kirton of Financial Affairs returns for episode 2 with the SnapCast, this time to talk about nonprofit budgeting. You might think you already know the ins-and outs of budgeting, and you might be wrong. We discuss:
- The importance of doing an annual budget
- Your budget document is not a stagnant document, it should be referenced often and reviewed monthly against financial statements
- Be realistic about goals, revenue, expenses, staffing
- Use as many details as you can to paint a clear picture
- Get key staff members input and review with your board
