Excellent video! Confirms my processes as a grant writer when doing a budget for a grant proposal. Now the REAL challenge is getting my nonprofit clients to do likewise with their budgets! Which is a COMPLETE MYSTERY to me as to why they're NOT doing it like this IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! (oh...I'm I venting, apologies)!
Lots of nonprofit leaders only think about the hard costs of programs and don't realize they can include soft costs in their budgets (and grants!). Maybe share this video with them?
In the video you mentioned that the warehouse uses 75% of the rent for example. is the 75% based on square footage that is used by the warehouse or is it based on the number of staff assigned to the building?
HI! Met Mandy this week in Wyoming and she helped us understand all of this and I am looking to apply it -- GOOD STUFF! How does this translate into my Quickbooks budget proposal? Or does it??? HELP!
Thank you for the reply! So, do I need to create a budget that I share for fundraising separate from my accounting budget? So far, we've been using them as one and the same...
This isn't necessarily anything you need to share, unless a donor wants to know how you came up with the numbers you have (which isn't very likely to happen). Use it for yourself to know that you have complete numbers about the costs of your programs.
Thanks so much for your tutorial videos Sandy. We have a non-profit organization that we're working on in Africa through education, health and agriculture,we will contact you for more information.
Sandy is the best. I would highly Recommend start up or even young but growing non profits work with her.
Thanks Charlie!
Thank you Sandy, all your videos are really helpful. Might contact you down the road on a project coming up.
Thank you, We recently started a new NPO here in South Africa and your videos will be of greater help as we work on growing as well.

This was a fantastic presentation, thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out for some time now, and this will work!
Yay! So glad to hear it!

That one is based on square footage since it's easy to calculate. Other items are based on staff.

Hi! Good question. This doesn't need to impact how you do Quickbooks. You need the info for fundraising purposes, not for accounting purposes.
