Budget Summary Detailed Budget Template July 2025.xlsx

This is a blank budget template for Food for Progress Program cooperative agreements administered by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service. The template is designed for applicants to complete detailed budget projections across multiple fiscal years (Years 1-5) and consists of three primary sections: a Budget Summary sheet that consolidates total federal funding obligations by funding source (CCC or FAS funds), commodity costs, freight costs, and administrative costs; a Detailed Budget sheet that breaks down all direct costs by expense category including salaries (expatriate, local country national, and headquarters staff), fringe benefits, allowances, travel, professional services, equipment, office expenses, supplies, and other direct costs, with corresponding chart of accounts coding; and separate budget tabs for Administration and Activity-specific line items. The template accommodates indirect cost rates (ICR) applied to administration, activities, commodity purchases, and international transportation and storage handling (ITSH), as well as cost share contributions and anticipated program income. All expense categories reference specific account codes aligned with USDA financial management systems, and the template requires quantification and percentage allocation details for each line item to enable comprehensive cost evaluation across the performance period.
