Fundamentals for Nonprofits

Nonprofit Budgeting Scenario Planning Tool

Building realistic budgeting scenarios helps management and leadership quantify the “what-ifs” when responding to unpredictable situations, giving organizations a chance to be thoughtful about big decisions that may need to be made quickly and under pressure.

This budgeting scenario tool can help your organization consider up to two scenarios beyond your current budget. Ultimately, the tool should provide a clear picture of risk factors or scenarios, giving you a data-driven view of what to prepare for, and what to consider as you move forward.
