PART III

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 not 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.

SECTION A. BUDGET SUMMARY
Lines 1-4, Columns (a) and (b).
For applications pertaining to a single Federal grant pro-gram
(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 of 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 requires 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 Columns (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).

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 that 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 of 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).
Line 5 - Show the totals for all columns used.

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,
Column (a), Section A. When additional sheets were 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.
Lines 6 a-h - Show the estimated amount for each direct
cost budget (object class) category for each column with
program, function, or activity heading.
Line 6i - Show the totals of Lines 6a to 6h in each column.
Line 6j - Show the amount of indirect cost. Refer to Office of
Management and Budget Circular No. A-87.
Line 6k - Enter the total 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, Column (e) and (f) on Line 5.
When additional sheets were prepared, the last two
sentences apply only to the first page with summary totals.
Line 7 - Enter the estimated amount of income, if any,
expected to be generated from this project. Do not add or
subtract this amount from the total project amount. Show
under the program narrative statement the nature and source
of income. The estimated amount of program income may

the total amount of the grant.
