Budget & Financial Dashboard Template

Board-friendly budget + one-page dashboard

LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCEBudget & FinancialDashboard TemplateTEMPLATECharity Search Group

A budget the board reads and a dashboard they use.

Most nonprofit budgets are functional accounting documents that make sense to the CFO and confuse everyone else on the board. This template gives you two things — a program-view budget the board can discuss, and a one-page dashboard they'll actually look at each month.

What’s inside

  • Program-view budget template with narrative columns
  • One-page monthly dashboard focused on the six metrics that matter
  • Guidance on the difference between the finance-committee packet and the full-board packet
  • A short section on how to talk about a bad month without triggering a governance crisis

You may not need this if: Your board finance conversations are clear and productive already.
