Chapter budgets fail when fixed commitments and one-time events share one total. This sheet has a cost-type column, semester amounts, and formulas for the annual column, section totals, net, and projected reserve. Edit the semester cells. Do not type over the formula cells.
Expense groups include formals, recruitment, philanthropy, alumni events, housing, national fees, insurance, supplies, merchandise, travel, and reimbursements. The reserve target sits in the Annual Total column.
The event closeout block is separate. Do not add it into the chapter totals. Variance is budgeted minus actual.
It is not a replacement for a national organization form. It is a board packet for the money the chapter controls.
