Non-profit budgeting

Non-profit budgeting is the process of planning how an organization will allocate its income and resources to achieve its mission. Since non-profits rely on donations, grants, and fundraising rather than commercial sales, the budget carefully projects expenses for programs, staff, and operations while ensuring transparency and accountability. It helps prioritize activities, control costs, and demonstrate how funds are used effectively. Regular monitoring and adjustments ensure the organization stays on track financially, supporting its goals without profit generation, but with responsible stewardship of resources to maximize social impact.
