Worthy grant proposals often don’t make it to the final cut because the proposal budget is poorly put together. However, crafting a budget that clearly and accurately reflects all the resources your program needs is not a complex or mysterious process!

In this workshop you'll learn the principles of mission-driven budgeting, and practice applying those principles to a real-life scenario as you build a detailed proposal budget, step by step. You'll learn how grantmakers evaluate budgets -- and what your budget says about your organization. And you'll work with simple but powerful tools to help you organize your financial information in the clearest, most powerful way.

Join us at this workshop and you will:

   1. Understand the importance of a sound, detailed, mission-driven budget as both a key proposal component and a planning and management tool

   2. Learn how the concept of "total-value budgeting" supports your project planning and management -- and simplifies the process of building a proposal budget

   3. Learn what you need to know about "in-kind," match, valuing volunteer time, indirect or administrative costs, and much more.

   4. Learn the easy-to-follow,step-by-step process guaranteed to result in an unbeatable proposal budget

   5. Work with -- and take home -- planning tools that will guide you through the process start to finish -- guaranteed!
