BORN AGAIN DAILY · ORIGINAL FREE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHEET
Make responsible donations possible through transparent records and independent oversight.
Intended for: Treasurers, ministry boards and project coordinators
Work with fictional numbers, not actual donor or bank details. This is an educational planning sheet and not accounting or tax advice. Any real nonprofit budget must be reviewed under governing laws, internal financial policies and qualified professional advice.
Open the surrounding chapter and compare the passage's context. Scripture links open in a new tab so your worksheet remains available.
What work is the budget meant to support, and over what period?
Donations, grants or fees; distinguish restricted funds and recurring revenue.
Rent, utilities, staffing, safeguarding, tools, outreach and emergency reserve.
Approval thresholds, dual authorization and independent checks.
Who receives payments, enters records, pays vendors and reconciles accounts?
Disclosure, recusal, bidding and independent approval of conflicts.
What will the ministry publish, how often and with what verification?
What happens if restricted gifts are misused or financial claims prove false?
Build a fictional quarterly budget and have someone independent check whether the records support each public claim.
A church name does not automatically prove donations are tax-deductible; verify organizational status and relevant law.
