Finance & budgets

Being comfortable and confident in managing budgets is crucial in ensuring that your movement is able to receive funds and disburse them appropriately. This can help when applying for grants or funds, and also help your movement plan campaigns, any volunteer living expenditures, media spends, and more. Having a clear and transparent budget also allows for more members of the movement to understand how decisions are being made around budgets.

You can use our Sample Budget Template 1 to track resources and expenditures. Here is also a Practical Guide to the Financial Management of NGOs.
