Strategic Budgeting for Nonprofits
In times of change, it helps to reach some elevation and take in a wider view.
Ehlshlager Consulting works side-by-side with nonprofit Executive Directors and other financial leaders within an organization to build a Strategic Budget and the budgeting practices that empower and sustain mission impact.
A Strategic Budget builds upon an organization’s existing budgeting and financial systems to plan not just for operating revenues and expenses, but for the full fiscal needs of organizational vitality including working capital, reserves, fixed assets, and debt service.
This wider view allows nonprofits to align their annual budget with their strategic objectives and to activate their organizational values by planning for capacity as well as investment in organizational culture and health.
If your nonprofit is undertaking a new strategic opportunity or need (i.e. capital campaign, debt service) or if you just want to elevate your budgeting to a new level, contact Mary Ann to learn more about a Strategic Budgeting project.
