These Expenditures are allowed with limitations: Food can be budgeted, but only up to 1% of
the grantee’s annual budget. This amount includes subcontractors.
Space rental for program staff can not be higher than the negotiated rate, which is based on total Full Time Equivalent FTE(s). (100sq ft. x FTE x $1.00 per sq ft. x 12)

Budget Restrictions Continued…
Liability Insurance can be budgeted as an individual line item up to 1% of grantee budget (remainder must be budgeted within the indirect costs).
Indirect Costs are not to exceed 10% of salaries and benefits.

The following six documents will serve as a model for building your current fiscal year budget.1. The Grant agreement budget – Provides you with the five line
item totals needed to create your current year budget.
2. Last prior approved fiscal year budget – Provides you with an example of how you estimated expenditures in the previous fiscal year.
3. Previous fiscal year invoices – they will show you how the money was actually spent.
4. The current proposed workplan Provides you an idea of what positions may be needed in order to estimate staff’s full time equivalent (FTE).
5. Attachments B1 & B2 budget resource documents will assist you in budgeting detail line item expenditures correctly and provide budget requirements.
6. Contract Manager is also a good resource when you have questions.
Budget and Strategy
10
Remember:The budget is always your best estimate. Invoicing is always based on actual
expenditures. Seldom is your best estimate the same as
actual expenditures. It is likely that you will require one if not two
budget revisions during the fiscal year to accommodate actual expenditures.
Budget and Strategy Continued…

Budget Components Summary Five line item budget
Personnel: Staff salaries & benefits. Operating Expenses: Expenses necessary to run
the program. Subcontractors: If an grantee received funding level
2, a minimum of two subcontractors is required. Other Charges: Anything that is not a day to day
expense. Indirect costs: costs that accrue in the normal
conduct of business that can only be partially attributable to performance of a grant (e.g., administrative expense, payroll, accounting, liability insurance, janitorial, security, building maintenance, Executive Director’s time).

PAYMENTS
Initial AllotmentCCG agencies may annually request an initial allotment up to 25% of their annual grant amount. Initial allotment payments can be requested only if all of the following criteria are met: The grant has been fully executed; The Governor’s Budget for the fiscal year has been signed; and The grantee has repaid all of the previous years initial allotment.
The initial allotment is recouped in 1/3 increments from the first three quarterly invoices. If unable to recoup the entire allotment within the first three quarters, we will continue to recoup through the 4th quarter and any supplemental invoices, if needed. (If after all invoicing has been completed and the grantee still has a balance owing, they would need to contact their contract manager to discuss repayment options.)
The form to request the initial allotment is included in the budget template. It must be printed on grantee letterhead when submitted. See an example of the form on the next slide.
