item totals needed to create your current year budget.

2. Last prior approved fiscal year budget – Provides you with an example of how you estimated expenditures in the previous fiscal year.

3. Previous fiscal year invoices – they will show you how the money was actually spent.

4. The current proposed workplan Provides you an idea of what positions may be needed in order to estimate staff’s full time equivalent (FTE).

5. Attachments B1 & B2 budget resource documents will assist you in budgeting detail line item expenditures correctly and provide budget requirements.

6. Contract Manager is also a good resource when you have questions.

Budget and Strategy

10

Remember:The budget is always your best estimate. Invoicing is always based on actual

expenditures. Seldom is your best estimate the same as

actual expenditures. It is likely that you will require one if not two

budget revisions during the fiscal year to accommodate actual expenditures.

Budget and Strategy Continued…

11

Budget Components Summary Five line item budget

Personnel: Staff salaries & benefits. Operating Expenses: Expenses necessary to run

the program. Subcontractors: If an grantee received funding level

2, a minimum of two subcontractors is required. Other Charges: Anything that is not a day to day

expense. Indirect costs: costs that accrue in the normal

conduct of business that can only be partially attributable to performance of a grant (e.g., administrative expense, payroll, accounting, liability insurance, janitorial, security, building maintenance, Executive Director’s time).

Initial AllotmentCCG agencies may annually request an initial allotment up to 25% of their annual grant amount. Initial allotment payments can be requested only if all of the following criteria are met: The grant has been fully executed; The Governor’s Budget for the fiscal year has been signed; and The grantee has repaid all of the previous years initial allotment.

The initial allotment is recouped in 1/3 increments from the first three quarterly invoices. If unable to recoup the entire allotment within the first three quarters, we will continue to recoup through the 4th quarter and any supplemental invoices, if needed. (If after all invoicing has been completed and the grantee still has a balance owing, they would need to contact their contract manager to discuss repayment options.)

The form to request the initial allotment is included in the budget template. It must be printed on grantee letterhead when submitted. See an example of the form on the next slide.
