Chapter Finance

Philanthropy Budget

The funds a chapter sets aside for charitable events and donations to its philanthropic causes.

A philanthropy budget covers the cost of running fundraisers and service events and, often, the chapter's own contributions to its cause. It's tracked separately from money raised for the charity, which is passed through rather than kept. Clear separation of philanthropy income and expenses is important for transparency and trust.
