Prepare a Budget Narrative. The Budget Narrative must include a detailed

description of the following:

2. Each Personnel position's duties and responsibilities.
4. Travel required to trainings, conferences, or job related.
6. Equipment that will support the proposed activities. 4. Supplies that support the proposed activities. 5. Describe the process for choosing an evaluator/consultant. a) What criteria should the evaluator/consultant meet? b) What are the evaluator's credentials as a reputable evaluator? 6. Identify and estimate the value of your In-kind donations from the agency and other stakeholders. As you prepare the budget narrative ask yourself the following:

1. Who manages the grant? What will the manager's salary be? If the manager is already an

employee, what percentage of time will be devoted to the grant on a weekly or monthly

basis? What percentage of the grant pays this salary?

2. Will there be clerical assistance? Does the grant manager do the clerical functions? Does

the organization donate clerical time? If so, what percentage of time is donated? (Hint:

donations are considered an In-Kind cost. It is good to have In-Kind donations to

demonstrate commitment and sustainability once the grant is over.) For example: other

In-Kind donations can usually include office space or supplies as determined by the

granting agency. You must say how you plan to track the In-Kind donations and the

approximate value.

3. Determine the lowest costs for supplies/equipment or will you have in-kind donations.

4. If you use volunteers, who supervises those volunteers?

5. What percentage of the volunteer supervisor's salary will come from the grant?

6. Will you have an internal evaluator or hire an external evaluator? What are their

qualifications to do evaluation? What do you want from the evaluation (i.e., quantitative

or qualitative report)? What do you plan to pay for the evaluation?

7. Do you need to justify travel expenses? Where will the travel be and for what purpose?

(Hint: Grantors will sometimes ask that the grant administrator/manager attend trainings

that may be out of state. You must put this in your budget, which I completed using the following worksheet. Please open the link here to review my responses:https://www.studocu.com/row/document/south-eastern-kenya-university/english-writing/82694825-jus-515-t8-budget-narrative/77594457
