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
What we have in place
  • We currently have A full year of bookkeeping manages by an external firm., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have An emerging staffing plan & a decent idea of expenses., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,094 , allowing us to ...host racial literacy trainings for young people and/or those most affected by racial stress in their day-to-day existence.

This will help us make better decisions about the growth and stability of our organization. We are currently operating with ~60+% fee for service and while that is a good thing it also creates some internal stress. We're building out a fundraising plan with the help of a grant writer.

The absence of a clear annual budget and a high level multiyear budget created uncertainty and stress.

Our mission

Our mission is to develop the skills and capacity, in individuals and institutions, to process racial stress, claim stories and heal from racial conflict.

In a world where we are taught not to talk about race, to routinely side step the obvious, our work seeks to increase racial literacy-- which is the ability to read, recast, and resolve racially stressful social interactions and narratives.
