Budgets that get funded Education Session

Creating a budget shouldn't feel overwhelming, yet for many not-for-profit organisations it's one of the biggest barriers to securing funding, planning effectively, and making informed decisions.

Join Sam Sterritt from Community Capacity Accounting for a practical, no-jargon session designed specifically for the not-for-profit sector.

Whether you're preparing funding applications, managing organisational finances, or simply

wanting to better understand what your numbers are telling you, this session will provide the

confidence and tools to strengthen your budgeting skills.

In this session you’ll learn to:

·         Create clear, realistic budgets for funding applications

·         Understand the difference between project and operational budgets

·         Spot financial risks early

·         Know what funders are really looking for

·         Gain confidence reading your organisation’s financial health

We’ll share practical examples, common pitfalls, and lessons learned, no finance background needed!

This session is ideal for community organisations, charities, and not-for-profits, especially those who find themselves managing finances without formal accounting training, or who want to strengthen their financial confidence and capability.
