Annual Operating Expenses (Budget): How to Define Your Budget and Budget Eligibility

TechSoup defines your annual operating budget as the yearly cost for your organization to operate. This includes all expenditures made by your organization, of any kind, for any purpose, whether they be grants paid, compensation of employees or contractors, pension plans and employee benefits, taxes, building occupancy, telecommunications, travel, conferences, and meetings, etc.

Your organization’s annual operating budget corresponds to your Total Expenses shown on your most recent IRS tax filing. On Form 990 that is line 18; on Form 990-EZ line 17; and on Form 990-PF line 24.

Please note, if your organization has added branch locations on TechSoup, each should reflect that branch’s annual operating budget. Learn more about adding branch locations to your TechSoup U.S. account.

Contact TechSoup Customer Service and request a Budget Review.  Your budget will need to be verified before TechSoup can update your organization’s details in your TechSoup account.
