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 a brand new nonprofit with a fiscal sponsor, looking to set up everything financially from ground up. Currently the only staff is the CEO. More effective to talk to us directly so that you can hear more about what we're trying to do and needs.

What we have in place
  • We currently have A fiscal sponsor and going independent 12/22/22, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Grant funds awarded/anticipated, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to Allocate resources to capacity building, park revitalization, programming, and supporting the youth.

We must be financially independent and move from our fiscal sponsor in order to accept our grant funds. Most importantly there is no way a 501(c)(3) can run without a back office, accounting, budgeting, etc. We have none of that. But we have $1.4 million coming this year.
