Budget Preparation The budget is a key part of a successful proposal. The Budget Preparation section will help you create a clear, correct and concise budget. From start to finish, this section contains helpful information. Assistance includes Planning A Budget, a Budget Fact Sheet, a Rate Sheet and a Glossary of Budget Terms. The Direct Costs Checklist helps you make sure you have planned for all your needs and the Allowable Costs section will help you determine if an item is permitted. To help you get started, Sample Budgets are provided below.
The above budgets are for informational use only and allow the proposer to understand how the calculations are determined within various types of budgets. Please contact the Proposal Administrator responsible for your area to receive a proper budget format.
