While the budget table gives the total cost for each category of the budget, the budget narrative gives the item by item breakdown for each category and shows the calculations used to derive the costs.
Budget summary should include the total costs for each budget category; total project costs; amount of federal funds requested; and, if applicable, amount of nonfederal funds the organization will contribute (match).
A Simple Step-by-Step Process for Creating a Narrative Budget Select four to six categories that encompass your ministry activities. Assign percentage of each budget line item to each category. Calculate the dollar amount of each line item assigned to each category.
The narrative must include an explanation of how the costs associated with each line item or category connect to project execution. For cost share, the estimated costs may be provided in the same level of detail as the federal estimated costs or as a fixed percentage of total project costs.
When creating your actual budget, you should research and identify accurate costs for each component, considering factors like salaries, local prices, and potential discounts. Also, consult with your institutions financial department for guidance on budgeting, funding sources, and any specific policies that may apply.
