A viable financial management strategy needs to address a vision for the future, incorporate an understanding of the past, and present financial position of the organization. This workshop will help participants develop a budget process that facilitates programmatic, strategic, and fiscal discussions among the leadership team, resulting in a mission-driven budget.

Key concepts include:

• Types of budgets and levels of planning at an organization.
• Implementing a comprehensive and inclusive financial planning process.
• Identifying, allocating, and building indirect costs into program budgets to understand the real cost of program delivery.
