INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SF-424A
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 180 minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering, and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comment regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (0348-0044), Washington, DC 20503.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR COMPLETED FORM TO THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. SEND IT TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED BY THE SPONSORING
AGENCY.
General Instructions
This form is designed so that application can be made for funds from one or more grant programs.
In preparing the budget, adhere to any existing Federal grantor agency guidelines which prescribe
how and whether budgeted amounts should be separately shown for different functions or activities
within the program. For some programs, grantor agencies may require budgets to be separately
shown by function or activity. For other programs, grantor agencies may require a breakdown by
function or activity. Sections A, B, C, and D should include budget estimates for the whole project
except when applying for assistance which requires Federal authorization in annual or other funding
period increments. In the latter case, Sections A, B, C, and D should provide the budget for the first
budget period (usually a year) and Section E should present the need for Federal assistance in the
subsequent budget periods. All applications should contain a breakdown by the object class
categories shown in Lines a-k of Section B.

For continuing grant program applications, submit these forms before the end of each funding
period as required by the grantor agency. Enter in Columns (c) and (d) the estimated amounts of
funds which will remain unobligated at the end of the grant funding period only if the Federal
grantor agency instructions provide for this. Otherwise, leave these columns blank. Enter in
columns (e) and (f) the amounts of funds needed for the upcoming period. The amount(s) in
Column (g) should be the sum of amounts in Columns (e) and (f).
For supplemental grants and changes to existing grants, do not use Columns (c) and (d). Enter in
Column (e) the amount of the increase or decrease of Federal funds and enter in Column (f) the
amount of the increase or decrease of non-Federal funds. In Column (g) enter the new total
budgeted amount (Federal and non-Federal) which includes the total previous authorized budgeted
amounts plus or minus, as appropriate, the amounts shown in Columns (e) and (f). The amount(s)
in Column (g) should not equal the sum of amounts in Columns (e) and (f).

Section A. Budget Summary Lines 1-4 Columns (a) and (b)

Line 5 - Show the totals for all columns used.

For applications pertaining to a single Federal grant program (Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog
number) and not requiring a functional or activity breakdown, enter on Line 1 under Column (a) the
Catalog program title and the Catalog number in Column (b).

Section B Budget Categories

For applications pertaining to a single program requiring budget amounts by multiple functions or
activities, enter the name of each activity or function on each line in Column (a), and enter the
Catalog number in Column (b). For applications pertaining to multiple programs where none of the
programs require a breakdown by function or activity, enter the Catalog program title on each line in
Column (a) and the respective Catalog number on each line in Column (b).

In the column headings (1) through (4), enter the titles of the same programs, functions, and
activities shown on Lines 1-4, Column (a), Section A. When additional sheets are prepared for
Section A, provide similar column headings on each sheet. For each program, function or activity,
fill in the total requirements for funds (both Federal and non-Federal) by object class categories.
Line 6a-i - Show the totals of Lines 6a to 6h in each column.
Line 6j - Show the amount of indirect cost.

For applications pertaining to multiple programs where one or more programs require a breakdown
by function or activity, prepare a separate sheet for each program requiring the breakdown.
Additional sheets should be used when one form does not provide adequate space for all breakdown
of data required. However, when more than one sheet is used, the first page should provide the
summary totals by programs.

Line 6k - Enter the total of amounts on Lines 6i and 6j. For all applications for new grants and
continuation grants the total amount in column (5), Line 6k, should be the same as the total amount
shown in Section A, Column (g), Line 6. For supplemental grants and changes to grants, the total
amount of the increase or decrease as shown in Columns (1)-(4), Line 6k should be the same as the
sum of the amounts in Section A, Columns (e) and (f) on Line 5.

Lines 1-4, Columns (c) through (g)
For new applications, leave Column (c) and (d) blank. For each line entry in Columns (a) and (b),
enter in Columns (e), (f), and (g) the appropriate amounts of funds needed to support the project for
the first funding period (usually a year).

Line 7 - Enter the estimated amount of income, if any, expected to be generated from this project.
