\Budget Considerations:

• Identify all the predicted costs for your program – and be detailed! Gather accurate estimates that are inclusive of all taxes, shipping, delivery fees, etc.  
• Leave room for last minute expenses. There may be incidental costs that you did not plan for, so having a contingency can keep you from going over budget. 
• Consider this event within the scope of your yearly calendar. You do not want to have one event use all of your funds for the entire year. 
• Revenue Projections. Are you anticipating using this event as a fundraising project? Consider how much you would like to make and then outline what would be needed in order for you to reach those goals. 
• Partners and sponsorships. Are there other groups or vendors you can work with to share or subsidize your costs?
