Section 3: Attachments

Along with your application, please attach one PDF document that contains: 1) project or program budget*, and 2) board member names with email and phone numbers.

*Budget guidelines: Please include a one-page project budget that includes the categories of revenue and expenses. The budget should be relevant to the request. If requesting for a specific project or program, we should see the budget narrowed to that project or program. If requesting a sustaining grant to support general operations, the organization's operating budget would make sense.

Under revenue, list the dollars that are requested, pending, and secured, along with the sources of these dollars.
Under expenses, list the categories that you feel are applicable to the project along with their expected cost.
For both categories, please include any comments you feel are pertinent for the committee to know.

Note: Please upload this information in one PDF file. If you are unable to combine multiple PDFs, please scan documents together to create one combined file. Optional: You are welcome to use the following budget template as a guide. Click to download: Sample Budget and Board Template
