Budget Requests for FY 2008 - Instructions

Session committees are required to prepare budget requests for any line item for which they have responsibility. Some of the dollar amounts will be projected based on requirements imposed by the Presbytery, some on past experience and trends. Others will be new items for which accurate estimates need to be made.

Session committees must think beyond the immediate out-of-pocket costs they expect to inclur. This means that administrative costs must also be considered. For example, the standard budget for Stewardship might be $50, which would cover the purchase of pledge cards, etc. However, the true cost of that function is actually much higher. To capture that larger figure, things like printing, postage, and general supplies related to your committee must be included. (General supply costs for your committee will be included in that committee/program line item and not in office supplies related to the church office).

Capturing the real cost of a function serves two purposes. First, it can demonstrate to the congregation the real cost of doing that piece of business. Second, it will assure that the General Administration line is not blindsided by unanticipated and unplanned charges.

In addition to the projected budget, each committee is required to submit 3-5 goals they plan to achieve during the year. These do not need to be complex.

DEADLINE for submitting budget requests is SEPTEMBER 11.
