Attachment F - Budget Worksheet~2.xlsx

This is a budget worksheet template for the Farm to Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Education Grant administered by the Oregon Department of Education. The worksheet is designed for both the Mini Grant and Capacity Sustaining Full Grant tracks and covers the 2025-2027 grant period (July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027). Applicants must complete the budget on the designated blue "Enter costs here" tab and provide detailed narratives for all proposed expenses. The budget serves dual purposes as both the financial plan and scoring document, evaluated on reasonableness (3 points), necessity (3 points), and allowability (3 points) of costs. Applications are due November 16, 2025, with award notifications expected around December 10, 2025.

The budget worksheet accommodates direct and indirect costs, with indirect costs capped at 25% of the grand total award. Allowable direct costs include travel, equipment, supplies, materials, labor (with required justification of hours and wages for educational activities), contractual services, and miscellaneous expenses. Labor costs must be directly associated with planning and implementing garden-based, farm-based, or food-based activities and must include applicable benefits calculations. Applicants must indicate whether they are applying for the Mini Grant (not to exceed $15,000) or the Capacity Sustaining Grant (not to exceed $100,000). The total funding available for the 2025-2027 biennium is $3,000,000, with a first-round cap of $750,000 allocated for mini grants. Eligible applicants include school districts, education service districts, federally recognized tribes, nonprofit organizations, food producers, and child care program providers serving schools with at least 40% free and reduced lunch populations.
