Budget Table of Projected Expenses

In order to justify your request for grant funds, you need to provide the projected expenses associated with the training. Your supervisor, and the funding grantor, needs to know how much money is necessary, and what the funds will be used to purchase. To accurately project the costs, create an Excel spreadsheet listing specific expenses and the cost of each. This task will require you to conduct research to determine the equipment, materials, etc. and the cost of each of the following items you listed. You may use various Internet resources to determine potential costs. You may search sites like Amazon.com, ebay.com, grocery stores, etc. in an effort to find pricing figures. You may also need to visit the website for the American Red Cross to learn what equipment you will need and how much they charge for training. If you are unable to find figures online for the Red Cross, try contacting your local branch to see what they would charge. Additionally, you may be able to find several free resources to use for training materials. Be sure you conduct a thorough online search for each topic and try to find the best pricing available. When you have gathered all your figures, create an Excel spreadsheet in which you list each of the items, the cost for each, and the total amount you anticipate needing to fund this training. 4 Be sure you keep a record of the websites on which you found your information as you need to include these in spreadsheet, so you may purchase the items once your grant proposal is accepted and you receive the funds. Be sure you create an individual column for each category (Need, Cost, Site) and, at the bottom of your Cost column, provide a total for the materials needed.
