Sunday's offering was $14,200. The bulletin lists 4 funds with target % allocations. Aaron must split it exactly — and document the math.

What they'll need
  • Offering total
  • Fund target %
  • GL accounts
  • Audit trail
How it's done — step by step
  1. 1

    List target percentages

    Operations 60%, Missions 20%, Building 15%, Benevolence 5% (must sum to 100).

  2. 2

    Multiply through

    $14,200 × 0.60 = $8,520 ops; × 0.20 = $2,840 missions; etc.

  3. 3

    Verify the sum

    All four lines must add back to $14,200.00 — penny rounding goes to Operations.

  4. 4

    Post to ledger

    One journal entry, four lines. Attach offering count sheet as evidence.

Your board runs a zero-based budget across four rigid operational pillars: Personnel (Staff), Facilities/Operations, Internal Ministries, and External Outreach/Missions. The pillars MUST sum to exactly 100%. If Personnel jumps from 48% to 52%, the modeler must proportionally degrade the other three pillars and tell you the exact dollar impact on Outreach. Slide any pillar and watch the system rebalance live.

48%
25%
12%
15%
Personnel$24,000
Operations$12,500
Internal Min.$6,000
Outreach$7,500
ΔOutreach when Personnel moves: −(outreach_ratio / Σ other_ratios) × ΔPersonnel pts → live above

Worked Example

Proportional degradation when Personnel rises

Given: Personnel 48 → 52% · others Ops 25, Internal 12, Outreach 15

  1. 1

    Δ to absorb

    52 − 48 = 4 pts must come from others
