Whether you have limited experience with budget development or are developing a budget for the first time, this resource is for you! We understand how daunting and complicated developing a budget can be, but we are here to support you step by step.
The Budgets for Beginners Worksheet is intended to walk you through how to develop a budget by evaluating your project activities and the needs of your organization. After completing this worksheet, you will have developed a budget for your project that is organized by common budget categories used by federal agencies.
The Budgets for Beginners Presentation will introduce you to key concepts of budgeting for federal grant opportunities and provide you with questions to ask as you develop your budget. An example is also provided.
And to help participants navigate budget development, we are hosting Budget Office Hours every two weeks on Monday from 2-3pm ET. During these sessions, EPN staff can help you navigate the Budgets for Beginners Worksheet, answer any budget-related questions, and address any concerns you may have. These sessions will be collaborative, and attendance will be limited to 10 organizations per session. Please register here.
