Budgeting is a key piece of any program planning effort, especially when working with grant-making organizations. For Nantahala Health Foundation, it is important for our mission objectives and sustainability that we invest our limited resources in programs clearly designed to make positive impacts on the social determinants of health in our region.
For our service-provider partners, project budgeting supports your work at each stage of its development, from calculating how much funding to request, to reporting measurable milestones along the way, to concluding your project and closing out your grant award responsibilities.
Nantahala Health Foundation’s newly released budgeting resource is far from the only budgeting tool available. However, we believe this simplified, easy-to-use design is best suited to illustrate your project’s financial picture at each stage, including your work to estimate revenue and expenses prior to project launch; actual results achieved mid-way through your work; and your final fiscal picture when your project is complete.
With a level playing field in mind, we ask that all grant applicants utilize this resource beginning with our CHIP grant cycle later this year.
If you feel your organization would benefit from budgeting support, please let us know. Service provider capacity building of this kind is one of our goals because:
When You are Successful, our Entire Region Benefits.
