Here is a budget that might be drawn up to explain the costs of a program you envision to your

supervisor or Board. The emphasis here is training youth and helping them develop a deeper

sense of community ownership and civic engagement, however when writing the initial budget,

you can’t forget that the lead you assign to work on this project would have a large portion of

their time occupied. This is not a volunteer-only program; it would rely on focused coordination

and management from a member of your staff, and that must be factored into the overall cost.

The next budget is more detailed and shows more community buy-in, by emphasizing in-kind

donations, volunteers and collaboration. Funders rarely want to be the sole support of a project.
