Many times you have an idea of what you want to purchase
for your team. You have a running wish list in your head
as well as a list of the many needed items. From time to
time we forget what is all needed and each year is different
but certain expenses are a staple every season. Therefore,
it is important to establish a budget every year so that
you see what is in front of you and where your focus needs
to be. It will also help you create fundraising goals. Here
is how to create a budget for your team.
-
Map out your year and have timelines
-
Be prepared to adjust and prioritize
items
-
Decide what the girls will pay for individually
-
Divide into categories and attach a
price (always estimate high)
-
Decide what each fundraisers goal will
be
-
Match fundraiser to item on time line
to insure adequate
time to raise the necessary funds
-
Allow for unexpected Costs
-
Leave carry over from one year to the
next
