ANCA CONNECTS: The Budget Game

Budgets shape everything in a nonprofit — what programs run, how staff grow, and how an organization thrives. But making those financial decisions isn’t easy. 

Engaging staff in budget simulation helps them understand how nonprofits operate, as well as the challenging decisions that leadership has to make when faced with budgetary constraints. In this CONNECTS program, participants will step into a leadership role and face the real-world challenges of nonprofit financial management. This interactive simulation puts you in charge of balancing mission-driven goals with financial realities, making the tough calls that define the success of an organization.

Professionals of all levels and departments will gain budgeting insights from this program, based on a simulation developed by staff at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Minnesota. Taking place on Zoom, this program will be facilitated by:

• Jenna Moon, Education Director at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center
• Colleen Foehrenbacher, Executive Director at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center

Registration: $20 ANCA Members, $40 non-members
