Operating Budget
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
I am new to the organization as an Executive Director, and I'd like to take a look at our annual budget as we build out plans to expand our programming and team. I'd love help developing an operating budget that allows us flexibility and helps us to prepare for unexpected expenses.
What we have in place
- We currently have an annual operating budget, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a plan for staffing and program changes, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to put these funds toward building out our team and programming.
In my previous Executive Director roles, I've worked with much smaller budgets, and I would love some guidance on building out a larger budget for a national organization.
Project plan
Our mission
SRAP informs the public about the negative effects of industrial livestock operations--also known as factory farms or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)--while providing direct assistance to communities impacted by this destructive industry. Through education, advocacy, and community organizing, SRAP empowers people to protect public health, environmental quality, and local economies from the damaging impacts of factory farms, and to advocate for a socially responsible food future.
What we do
SRAP provides free assistance to communities threatened by industrial livestock operations. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected in the communities we serve, many of which face social and racial injustices. We value individuality, and lean on unique and varied perspectives to empower communities to stand up to the abuses of factory farms while advocating for a socially responsible food future.
Testimonials
Herbert gave me great guidance on budget planning and assessing where our organization stands financially. The entire process of working with him was simple, easy and pleasant, and I appreciated all that he was able to share with me in moving our organization forward.
Working with Sherri on reviewing her organization's operating budget and suggesting changes was an absolute pleasure. She was very responsive in making sure I had all the relevant information. She was open to new ideas and was very proactive in communication.
