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 comments 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).
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).
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.
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).

Section B Budget Categories
In the column headings (1) through (4), enter the titles of the
same programs, functions, and activities shown on Lines 1-4,

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.
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 5. 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.
