The budget section of your grant proposals can present some unique challenges. Project budgets must be accurate, complete, and transparent. This can be challenging when the proposed project involves different activities, personnel, or resources. Even small errors and omissions in your budget or budget narrative can undermine the credibility of the proposal and reduce the chances of funding. Beyond that, you must demonstrate you can truly achieve project goals while keeping costs reasonable.

During this webinar, Alice Ruhnke will show you how you can develop a project budget that makes sense: one that justifies all of your proposed costs and demonstrates you’ll be an effective steward of the grantmaker’s funds. You’ll learn:

• how to create a program budget that covers all relevant costs;
• how to write an approach and budget that mirror one another;
• ways to identify matching funds; and,
• ideas for sustainability.

You’ll walk away ready to present a clear and persuasive budget that aligns with the rest of your proposal.
