Planning and budgeting

Budgets that hold up and tell your story.

Program and grant budgets, simple forecasting, and budget narratives that make sense to your board and to funders, built by someone who reads them from the funding side.

The problem

Numbers that do not add up under questions.

A small org guesses at program costs, scrambles to build a grant budget, and cannot always explain its numbers when a funder asks.

The challenge

Program costs were a guess, grant budgets were a last-minute scramble, and the board could not always read the finances.

What we would do

Build clean program and grant budgets, set up simple forecasting, and write narratives the board and funders understand.

The kind of result

Budgets that hold up under funder questions and a board that can read its own numbers with confidence.
