Budget Considerations:
- Try to list all potential expenses, no matter how small
- A "donated" service is still a budget item - list it as an expense and ofset it with an donation, but don't ignore it
- A good target number for a budget is 20% to 25% of the gross revenue
- Keep committee "honest" by not allowing any member to spend money off budget
- Use prior year numbers to test current year budget appropriateness
- Use Auction Software to manage the event and to track real expenses. You will be able to report expenses versus income easily after the event
