Abstract
Learn how to accurately and transparently estimate costs and track spending throughout a grant cycle.

This workshop comprises:

  • Brief overview of framework for budgeting and spending a budget for a grant
  • Demonstration of budgeting and budget vs. actual spending templates that track expenditures in relation to your budget
  • In small groups, practice using the framework to draft a budget and track expenditures through a grant cycle

Topics covered will include:

  • A process for building a transparent and effective budget
  • Planning for shared costs
  • Planning for administrative costs
  • How to track spending through the grant to achieve maximum cost recovery
