Is a budget narrative included that adds further clarification to the numbers and how they are calculated? 3. Does the budget include any in-kind revenues and expenses? 4. Is the percentage of overhead consistent with what the funder has outlined as acceptable in its guidelines? 5. Does the organization have the budget worksheet used to creating this proposal budget saved and clearly labeled, so that it has a record of how costs were determined for the expense items? 6. Has there been one final review of the budget to make sure all appropriate expenses and projected revenues are included, and that all calculations are accurate? 7. Have both the executive director and the finance staff person approved it? (If it is a program budget, the lead staffer would be included in the final approval process.)
