For Grantseekers: Budgeting 101

Presented by a foundation program officer who reviews hundreds of proposals each year and a nonprofit expert with decades of finance experience, the Maryland Philanthropy Network invites new and experienced grant proposal writers to a workshop on nonprofit budgeting. The presentation will describe approaches to developing a budget, tips on how to present your budgets to funders, the nuts and bolts of what funders are looking for in your budget, and how to tell the story of your work through the numbers.
