Do you have a nonprofit budget template I can download in Excel?

Yes. Non-Profit & Community templates help you plan program costs, fundraising, and operating expenses. Export to Excel to customize line items to match your organization and reporting needs.

How do I make a church budget spreadsheet with categories?

Start with a template and adjust categories for ministry/programs, facilities, staff, outreach, and giving income. Tracking Estimated vs Actual monthly makes it easy to report to leadership and the board.

What’s the difference between program and admin expenses in a budget?

Program expenses are directly tied to delivering services, while admin/operations cover running the organization. A template helps you separate these clearly so your reporting stays consistent.

Can I use this for a grant budget breakdown?

Yes. Export to Excel and create a section for each grant (or each program) with its own categories and totals. That makes it easier to track spend against grant requirements.

Is there a fundraising event budget template?

Yes. You can use the event-style structure for venue, marketing, food, rentals, and staffing, then add income lines for ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships to see the net outcome.

Can I present this budget to a board or committee?

Yes. Export to PDF for a clean presentation format, or share the Excel/Google Sheets version for review and collaboration before approval.
