Choose a nonprofit to work with. There
are four sample nonprofits in this section. These nonprofits don’t
really exist. However, they’re based on real organizations.
Students should choose the nonprofit that seems most interesting
to them. Which one would they prefer to run? |
 |
Review the nonprofit’s
description. Students
may wish to print this description for reference. In this step, they’ll
learn the details of their organization. Instruct students to pay
close attention to the budget explanation. They’ll need these
figures to complete the budget worksheets. |
 |
Complete the budget worksheets. First,
have students complete the revenue worksheet for their organization.
They may have to use their math skills in this section. Some figures
will need to be calculated. Have students include revenue that their
nonprofit receives from all sources. Then, instruct them to complete
the expenses worksheet. Expenses should be included based on the
nonprofit description. |
 |
Compare revenue and expenses. Now
it’s time to see if your students’ budgets balance. Have
students look at their revenue totals. Compare these
to their total expenses. These totals should be the same. If they
aren’t, assist students in recalculating their worksheets. |
