About this file
This document is a budget narrative template (Attachment A) for the EPA's UPLIFT Climate and Environmental Community Action Grant program. The template provides guidance for applicants to detail their three-year project budget, requiring itemized costs and explanations of how the budget will reasonably accomplish project goals while maximizing funds for disadvantaged communities.
The template relates to solicitation EPA-R-HQ-UCECA-25-01, a cooperative agreement opportunity under CFDA 66.616 (Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program). Applicants must explain their financial controls and procedures to ensure efficient fund expenditure. While the budget narrative is mandatory, the template in Appendix C is optional and doesn't count toward the 25-page Project Narrative limit. The document emphasizes detailing both direct costs for financial assistance and associated indirect costs, with particular focus on demonstrating cost-effectiveness in delivering benefits to disadvantaged communities.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Public Engagement and Environmental Education UPLIFT Program Budget Narrative (ATTACHMENT A) [Provide a detailed budget description and estimated funding amounts for each project component/task similar to that on the budget found in SF-424A, which includes the EPA funding requested to be expended over the three-year project period. This section provides an opportunity for a narrative description of the budget, or aspects of the budget found in the SF-424A.
In the description, explain how the budget is reasonable to accomplish the projects, and the cost-effectiveness of the budget in terms of maximizing the share of funds used for the delivery of benefits to disadvantaged communities (both the direct costs of funds passed through for financial assistance as well as associated indirect costs). This section provides an opportunity for narrative description of the budget or aspects of the budget such as other costs and contractual costs. Provide itemized costs with sufficient detail for EPA to determine the reasonableness and allowability of costs for each workplan component/activity. Additionally, please describe the approach, procedures, and controls that you will put in place to ensure that awarded grant funds will be expended in a timely and efficient manner.
Note: A template to depict the program budget is included as Appendix C and may be used to supplement the budget description. Applicants that do not use the template will not be penalized and applicants can convey the information in other forms. While the program budget description is part of the Mandatory Documents as part of the application, the Program template is not part of the page limit for the Project Narrative and will not count against the 25-page Project Narrative page limit.]
