Do you hate doing your annual budget? Do you dismiss the process and “just get it done” every year because your bylaws require you to do so? Are you confused as to how you build an effective budget and why you should even do it? The budget process is one of the most powerful things that you can do as a non-profit leader. Yet it is often shrouded in mystery and consequently dismissed as something that the Board of Directors “has to do” as part of its obligations.

This course is designed to help you, the leader of a non-profit organization, understand the significance of the budgeting process and how to use your budget to unlock the growth and success of your organization.
