Organizing Financial Spending

Essentials

Create a Budget: Start by developing a comprehensive budget that outlines the club's expected income and expenses. Consider all potential sources of income, such as membership dues, sponsorships, grants, and fundraising events. Estimate the costs of various club activities, including workshops, housing, materials, and food.
Establish Financial Policies: Define financial policies and procedures for the club. This includes guidelines on reimbursement processes, spending limits, approvals, and documentation requirements.
Track Income and Expenses: Maintain detailed records of all income and expenses. Use accounting software or spreadsheets to track financial transactions and maintain a ledger.
Plan for the Future: Develop a long-term financial strategy for the club. Set goals and objectives related to financial sustainability and growth. Consider options for establishing university funding or seeking ongoing partnerships with organizations to secure consistent funding in the future.
