  Programmatic Budget

  Posted by laura-cossey on July 30, 2024 at 3:43 pm

  Our organization builds online education platforms for educators at both the k-12 and higher education levels as well as do research for field building. We have always struggled with the best ways to identify our programmatic costs. Does anyone have any great ideas or resources to share? Thank you!

  Laura, Say more about the struggle to identify the programmatic costs. Is it a systems issue (ie no way to note on a timecard which hours are program vs admin), or?
