Build a board-ready nonprofit budget — without wrestling a spreadsheet.
Your budget is the most important document your board approves all year. The Nonprofit Budget Builder turns that spreadsheet slog into a guided, interactive workspace: add your revenue and expense line items, and it instantly computes the numbers funders actually look at — your program expense ratio, revenue diversification, surplus or deficit, and budget-vs-actual variances. It even writes the first draft of your budget narrative for you.
No subscriptions. No accounts. No software to install. One beautiful file that runs privately in your web browser — even offline.
★ WHAT'S INSIDE
✔ Revenue Builder — track grants, individual giving, events, earned revenue & more, with restricted/unrestricted flags and budgeted vs actual amounts
✔ Expense Builder — line items with functional classes (Program / Management & General / Fundraising) so your budget maps cleanly to the Form 990
✔ Live Dashboard — total revenue & expenses, surplus/(deficit), program expense ratio, functional breakdown bars, and revenue-mix charts
✔ Budget vs Actual tracker — enter actuals through the year and watch variances update instantly
✔ Budget Health Checks — smart flags for over-reliance on one funder, low program ratios, deficits, and thin surpluses
✔ 12-Step Budget Checklist — expert guidance from "review last year's actuals" through "board approval," with a progress bar
✔ Budget Narrative Generator — one click turns your numbers into a plain-language narrative for board packets or grant applications (board or funder versions, two tones)
✔ Print / PDF layout for board packets · Download/Upload Progress backups · autosave · friendly Start-Here guide
★ HOW IT WORKS
1. Unzip your download and double-click the HTML file — it opens in any modern browser (Mac or PC)
2. Add your organization's profile, then your revenue and expense line items
3. Watch the dashboard compute your ratios and health checks in real time
4. Generate your budget narrative, print your board packet, and download a backup of your progress
