# How to run a great proposal process

Cobudget the tool makes the running of collaborative budgeting and funding processes easier -- but there is much more to successful budget allocation than a tool! 

**To help you design and run great collaborative funding processes**, we have created an open source participatory proposal guide. It takes you through a basic 5-step process setting up and running a funding round, from bringing awareness to your group culture, to onboarding, engagement, high quality proposal making and accountability.
