Budgeting Resources
Example: Budget for a community meeting
| What we need | Estimated cost | Who could donate? |
| Space for meeting | Donated | YWCA, food co-op |
| Copying flyers | $ 15.00 | |
| Community dinner | $ 85.00 | |
| Childcare | Donated | 3 volunteers from our class |
| Total Cost: | $100.00 |
Budget questions:
1. How much money will the group have to raise each week? Total cost ÷ number of weeks = $ you need to raise each week (Example: $100 ÷ 4 weeks = $25 to raise each week)
2. How much money will each person have to raise? Total cost ÷ number of people = $ each person needs to raise (Example: $100 ÷ 20 people = $5 each person needs to raise)
3. Your question:
