Lesson 3: Writing a Proposal

The Budget

Budget projections include how the project will be managed and implemented. The funding sources will want to know whether the project can be accomplished within the budget. Are projected costs reasonable? Is the budget consistent with the activities the organization intends to conduct. Is the proposal and the accompanying budget sufficient in detail and explanation? Are there any additional funding sources, matching or in-kind revenue?
