Attachment 4 - Budget Template.xlsx

The file is a blank budget template for a federal grant opportunity related to Administrative & Programmatic Support for American Corner Jaffna, issued by the U.S. Embassy Colombo's Public Diplomacy Section. The template provides a structured spreadsheet for budgeting personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual costs, and other direct costs, with sections for international and local staff, in-country and international travel, and administrative fees. Each budget category has placeholder rows for itemizing specific expenses, with columns for unit type, number of units, unit cost, and total cost.

This budget template is part of a cooperative agreement funding opportunity under two federal grant programs: Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040) and ECA – American Spaces (CFDA 19.441). The grant seeks a single grantee to provide administrative and programmatic support for American Corner Jaffna over a 24-30 month period, with the first year's budget to be submitted. The U.S. Embassy Colombo will require a Memorandum of Understanding with the grant recipient, who will be responsible for implementing the program and potentially issuing sub-awards, with the host institution providing the physical space for the American Corner free of charge.
