Proposal Budgeting Basics

Learn to prepare and present a budget in a grant proposal.


This session, geared to the novice grantseeker in a nonprofit, will cover such topics as:



  • What is included under the "personnel" section and how to calculate it?

  • What level of detail do you need to include for non-personnel expenses?

  • How do you determine reasonable costs?

  • What types of expenses are considered "overhead"?

  • What other financial documents will funders want to see?


Please note: Prior attendance at Proposal Writing Basics is strongly recommended.
