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
We are looking for guidance with developing our operating budget, as well as setting up our subaccounts and classes in Quickbooks to provide quick analytics regarding specific program and operational expense and revenue data.
What we have in place
- We currently have a decent budget set up in Quickbooks that we need to optimize with classes and subaccounts that are logical and produce intended data; we also have pretty consistent expenses, but need to ensure next year's operating budget is taking into account the many uncertainties associated with revenue streams. So our need is for better budget "structures" and improved forecasting strategies.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to continue funding regular operations.
We are a TINY organization and don't have the budget to pay for an accountant to manage all of our financials; aside from payroll and filing our 990, the Board and Executive Director are in charge of all things related to money. This past year has thrown us so many curveballs that it almost feels like we have to tear up the playbook and start all over. A fresh perspective and new eyes will ensure we are on the right track.
Project plan
Our mission
OUR MISSION: We create volunteer opportunities to address community needs and to inspire youth for a lifetime commitment to service.
Youth Volunteer Corps has four goals:
1. To engage youth in service projects that are challenging, rewarding, and educational.
2. To serve the unmet needs of the community and its residents.
3. To promote among youth a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity of their community.
4. To promote a lifetime ethic of service among youth.
What we do
Youth Volunteer Corps of Hampton Roads (YVCHR) has been providing young people with meaningful opportunities to make a difference since 2009. Since that time, over 2,600 students between the ages of 11 and 18 have served over 66,000 hours in our community, positively impacting over 50 non-profits and other recipient agencies. We connect youth to projects that are supervised and facilitated by YVCHR staff; team leaders incorporate team-building activities, service-learning lessons and time for reflection into each volunteer experience. Within this framework, youth learn the importance of volunteering and elevate their own self-confidence and self-efficacy in the process. By serving in a variety of settings and with diverse populations, our participants gain career-readiness and life skills, develop cross-cultural competencies, and are inspired to embrace an ethic of service that extends into adulthood.
