Financial Goals and Budgets
The Organization should decide upon a reasonable income target.
If a specific amount of money is needed for a special project, the size of the goal is more easily established.
The Publicity chairman could create a graph displaying the dollar goal compared to the actual income. This display can be in a prominent location at the carnival and updated at regular intervals. Changes in the actual graph are based on money count reports from the Treasurer.

Discuss The Budget
Each Committee chairman must have  definite guidelines before beginning work on projects.
The total budget is determined by the amounts allocated to individual chairmen. It may be necessary to make upward or downward adjustments as work progresses. Financial goals will usually have a significant bearing on the size of the budget.
The budget should be part of the agenda at each meeting. Individual chairmen must give reports on expenditures to date, with estimates of future cash requirements.
