How to Make an Allocation Schedule for Nonprofits

Stop Leaving Money on the Table!

If your organization is still guessing how much rent, utilities, admin time, or shared program costs belong on a grant budget… you’re probably leaving real money on the table.

Join Tatiana Wagner, nonprofit operations strategist and self-proclaimed Overhead Evangelist, for a practical, no-nonsense workshop that demystifies cost allocation. You’ll learn how to build defensible allocation schedules, choose methods that align with GAAP, and articulate your true program costs with confidence—so you can get more of your expenses reimbursed and stop underfunding the work that keeps your organization running.

Perfect for finance staff, program managers, EDs, and anyone responsible for budgeting or reporting.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of common allocation methods (and when to use each)
• Templates and examples you can apply immediately
• Tips to strengthen grant proposals and financial narratives
• A repeatable structure for building your organization’s allocation plan

Let’s put the myth of “low overhead” to rest—and build budgets that reflect the real cost of your mission.
