Please submit your 2026-27 budget requests to the Congregation Administrator by November 25, 2025.
MAKING YOUR REQUEST:
Providing information about requested funds will help the Budget Team make informed recommendations (better than just using the prior year's budget). Please use the form provided here to make your request(s) and provide information about any anticipated expenses so we can better understand your budget needs for fiscal year 2026-27.
THE BUDGET PROCESS:
Program, team and staff budget requests are an initial step in our fiscal year (July 1st-June 30th) budget process. The Budget Team (led by the Congregation Administrator and including full time staff and Finance Committee representation) compiles the budget requests, works closely with the committees and teams to understand the vision and goals for the upcoming fiscal year; and prepares/presents a proposed budget to the Finance Committee and Board. With any edits made during the Finance/Board review, the Pledge Drive Team is then given the pledge goal for the year and the Pledge Drive begins in March. Following the Pledge Drive, the Budget Committee and Finance work closely to finalize the proposed budget. The Board reviews the proposal and provides a budget recommendation to the Congregation at the June 2025 Congregational meeting. The Congregation has the final authority to approve the budget. The amount allocated to your program or team will be communicated in the final approved budget.
Thank you!
