Project Budgeting for Nonprofits

Register

Budgets are more than just numbers—they are powerful tools for planning, decision-making, and storytelling. In this training, we’ll explore how to use project budgeting not only to manage resources effectively but also to communicate your organization’s values, priorities, and aspirations.
Participants will:

  • Develop a mindset that embraces budgeting as a leadership and planning tool.
  • Learn about key nonprofit finance terminology and concepts, including direct vs. indirect costs and donor restrictions.
  • Follow a step-by-step process to build a project budget from scope to tracking.
  • Practice using budgets to tell compelling stories to funders, stakeholders, and staff.

This workshop is designed for smaller nonprofit organizations and program staff within larger organizations who are responsible for developing project budgets. Whether you’re preparing a grant proposal, launching a new initiative, or managing an existing program, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to budget with purpose and confidence.

This workshop will have closed captioning available through the online service Otter.ai.com.

Propel workshops are not recorded.
