Creating and maintaining a well-planned budget is a critical part of ensuring you organization's financial health and long-term sustainability. In fact, the National Council of Nonprofits writes that "approval of the annual budget is one of the fundamental building blocks of sound financial management" (Budgeting for Nonprofits). This section provides details on creating and using a budget that best meets the needs of your organization.
Additional resources to help you with your budget process can be found on the National Council of Nonprofits' Budgeting for Nonprofits page.
