In Section 1: Management, you learned that it is important that someone oversees the budget by tracking revenue and expenses and planning detailed budgets for at least two years. Planning your revenue and expenses for two years will help you identify where you may have shortfalls, how many staff members you can afford to hire, the types of programming you can run, and the materials you can purchase.
Directions: Use this worksheet to help you think about the costs associated with operating an afterschool and expanded learning program. The first part of the worksheet lists potential funding sources and allows you to record the total amount of funding available from each source in order to compare your estimated costs with your estimated revenue. The second part of the worksheet provides an itemized list of typical expenses. For each item, record the estimated or actual cost.
