VII. Budgets

Sample—Walkathon Budget

Walk Income Expense Budget
Sample 1: Based on Projected Total Walk Income of $10,000 Projected Income

Corporate Cash Sponsorship

$10,000

Miscellaneous & In-kind Support

$5,000

Total:

$15,000

Note:Miscellaneous income is not a corporate cash sponsorship but is generated as a result of the walk. For example, a woman's organization may be contacted about participating in the walk and the group opts to donate the proceeds of an annual fashion show to the sponsoring organization rather than organize a team. Since this is this group's way of supporting the walk, this donation should be classified as miscellaneous walk income.
