Everything that you do, you also have the ability to undo, so don't fret if you think you've done something incorrectly. The only thing that matters is your final submission, when you indicate that you have completed putting your budget together, and even that is replaced if you resubmit a revised final budget. Again, please read the directions below before beginning with the electronic budgeting form . The ultimate goal of budgeting is to provide fair and equitable funding for all Category 3 groups. The keys to achieving this goal are preparation and communication.
Substantial research is required by both the UFB and student groups for every dollar appropriated.
Allocations are made on the basis of budget presentation, accuracy of figures, relevance of event to group's purpose, meetings with UFB representatives, past financial and spending record and the impact of the expenditure for the student body. This guide presents some recommendations and guidelines which should be carefully considered when preparing a budget for your group. Focus on prioritizing your needs and on deriving detailed and accurate estimates of event costs. Clear, concise, and accurate itemized breakdowns, and detailed explanations for each request greatly assist the UFB in meeting the needs of your group. Consult your current budget and use it as an outline in creating a budget for next year.
