1. Total budget for all ministries other than Cooperative Program
(CP) and Associational Missions (AM). Example: $100,000. $100,000
2. Total percent to be given to CP and AM. Example: 10% to CP +
5% to AM = 15%. 15%
3. Actual percent of budget for all ministries other than CP and AM.
Example: 100% - 15% = 85%. 85%
4. Total complete budget including CP and AM.
Example: 100,000 / .85 = 117,647.06 $117,647
5. Amount budgeted for CP. Example: 117,647 x .10 = 11764.70.
(Round to nearest dollar.) $11,765
6. Amount budgeted for AM. Example: 117,647 x .05 = 5,882.35.
(Round to nearest dollar.) $5,882
7. Recheck the total budget. Total budget for all ministries other than
CP and AM plus CP plus AM should equal the total complete
budget.*
(step 1 + step 5 + step 6 = step 4) Example: 100,000 + 11,765 +
5,882 = 117,647. $117,647
*Note There could be a $1 difference in Step 7 due to rounding. If so use
the Step 7 figure as the total budget.
