In order to download the file, please complete the following steps: - Click on the link to the proposed budget form.
- Depending on which browser you are using, select either the "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" option. A “Save” window should appear.
- Select a location on your computer where you would like to save the file (for example the “My Documents” folder, or the desktop). Remember this location since you will need it when you are ready to complete the template.
- Click the “Save” button.
- The file is now saved on your computer. Proceed to the “When you are ready to complete the template” instructions below.
When you are ready to complete the template: - Locate the file (from step 3 above) and open by double clicking it. Note that you will need the free Adobe Reader program in order to open the file. If you do not have Adobe Reader, please visit: http://www.adobe.com/ to download and install it.
- Once the file is open, click the “File” menu item up top and select “Save as”. A new window should appear. Select a location on your computer where you would like to save the document (for example the “My Documents” folder, or the desktop). Remember this location for future use.
- In the “File Name” box give the new file a name that identifies your event and the date or year, such as “Spaghetti Dinner Budget – 9-09”
- Click the “Save” button. You can now proceed with filling out the document.
- Click on a box to move the cursor to the field you want to complete and type the information into the box.
- Once done, you can manually move the cursor or press the [tab] key to advance to the next field where you can fill in the information. Continue doing this process until you have reached the end of the form.
- When you click on the “Total Income” and Total Expenses” lines, the total for that column should appear.
- For the “Income – Expenses = Net Income” line and the “Estimated proceeds to be given to the NMF” line, type numbers only. Do not type symbols, including dollar signs ($) or commas.
