Religious Organization 5-Year Financial Planner

Specific logic related to forecasting the finances of a religious organization / church.

Description
A religious organization or church will almost always have to support itself in some way. Sometimes it could be through funding from parent churches or all through tithes and offerings. It could also be a combination of both.

This model ends up looking somewhat like recurring
subscription revenue. Assumptions allow the planner to estimate the average earnings of individuals, the average % of their earnings they tithe, as well as the amount of funding coming in from other sources.

Once you estimate revenues, the costs come into play. This means staff, building costs, loans, and general expenses that go into running a church. The type of church is arbitrary as long as some kind of the two funding methods mentioned above exist.

Members grow and churn just like a regular SaaS style forecast. There is also a place to enter average one-time gifts.

Monthly and annual summaries are included as well as cash projections based on some starting cash position. Plenty of graphs and charts to visualize what the forecast is saying.

Visuals include:
1. Operating income and cash flow per year.
2. Debt to cash position per month.
3. Member growth
4. Revenue by type.

Logic for financing scenarios is included. It works by allowing the user to input their expected % of startup costs that will be financed. This debt schedule dynamically flows through to the monthly and annual projections.
