PROJECT BUDGET
The project budget, as mentioned above, is created for the proposal to show all costs related to a specific area of work
that you are applying for a grant to fund.
This budget can be simple with one column showing expected costs for the entire program when the proposal asks for
the whole project budget, or it can include extra columns showing the specific expenses covered by this proposal and
those expenses covered by other funders.
