FP: Financial Plan 2026-27

The financial plan comprehends the proposed activity plan for 2026 and 2027. The
plan follows similar pattern to the previous year with minor changes.

The narrative parts focuses on 2026, with the more detailed plan on 2027 can be
found in the excel attached in the end.

The total planned expenditure for the period amounts to 229,560.07 EUR, while
the total projected income is 227,771.00 EUR (compared to 184,717.79 in 2025),
resulting in a planned surplus 1788 EUR.

Expenditure:

Category 1: Personnel Costs

This budget line covers salaries, staff trainings, and meetings. The total
personnel expenditure amounts to 57,003.75 EUR, including overhours. It includes
1300 EUR planned previously for 2025 (thus most of the deficit).

The plan also includes 1,903.75 EUR for internship fees and overhours. The plan
includes only current intern – the new internship programme is not planned yet
and is subject to savings or fundraising (as in activity plan).

In addition, 450.00 EUR is allocated for staff trainings and meetings, including
250.00 EUR for trainings for staff and Executive Committee members and 200.00
EUR for staff meetings or retreats.

As in previous years, the organisation will explore opportunities to expand the
Secretariat in relation to potential project funding. This includes position of
Taste the Change programme coordinator, though due to the project contract not
yet signed, it is included in one line with the whole programme.

Category 2: Infrastructure and Operating costs

This category covers office, infrastructure, and operational costs related to
physical and digital maintenance, ensuring smooth operations, and supporting
organisational functionality. It includes expenses such as office rent,
utilities, office equipment, different software and website maintenance, all
vital for sustaining smooth and effective daily operations. Total costs of this
category are 11480 EUR and are similar to previous years, with adjustment to
inflation.

Category 3: Administrative expenditure

This budgetary category covers costs related to administrative functioning that
includes legal fees, extraordinary admin costs, audit, and bank charges.
Compared to previous year, it is increased due to the the new employment
legalisation processes (600 EUR), totalling to the 4300 EUR.

Category 4: Statutory Meetings

This budget category covers statutory events and governance-related activities.
The total planned expenditure in this category amounts to 31,357.60 EUR.

Executive Committee meetings are budgeted at 7,000.00 EUR, ensuring that the
governing body can meet regularly and effectively to oversee the organisation’s
work. This is the projects’ money, and savings possibilities are limited.

The General Assembly and Conference represent the largest item in this category,
with a total planned expenditure of 22,357.60 EUR. This is a biggest chunk of
the money, that grows year by year due to the increased number of MOs and their
activity.

Additionally, 2,000.00 EUR is allocated for other meetings and representation
activities. This includes 500.00 EUR for visits to member organisations or study
visits and 1,500.00 EUR for networking and political cooperation with partners.

This category represents the largest share of the budget, with a total planned
expenditure of 121,841.77 EUR. It includes the organisation’s seminars,
conferences, regional activities, and educational programmes.

EYF Work Plan activities will cost 49,764.77 EUR for the EYF Work Plan, which
supports a series of educational activities such as seminars, trainings, and
conferences. Additional 6,500.00 EUR for the (Cross)Regional Meeting combined
with the Summer Camp.

An additional 53,163.00 EUR is allocated for the Taste the Change Programme.
That includes whole programme, with activities for 2026 and 2027, and salary of
programme coordinator (10 months). The division between 2026 and 2027 will be
done later, due to the project requirements.

the Climate Refugees Seminar. The exact division will be made close to the
activities.

At this stage, no separate ad hoc projects are included in the financial plan.
