PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Carolyn Allen is the coordinator of the Friends of Glasswater Park, a nonprofit organization that raises funds and organizes volunteers to maintain Glasswater Park in Springfield, Missouri. The organization is midway through a decade-long fundraising campaign to raise capital for improving and expanding the park facilities. Carolyn has started a workbook that summarizes the organization’s fundraising thus far for the new facilities. She would like you to modify the workbook by adding charts and graphs to depict the information visually, as well as complete a projection of fundraising amounts for the remaining period of the campaign.

GETTING STARTED
