The budget template is designed for proposers to estimate meal service delivery, including hot and frozen meals, across multiple funding sources: Older Americans Act (OAA), Oregon Project Independence (OPI) Classic, Medicaid (XIX, SPPC, OPI-M), and private pay. The budget projects estimated meal costs at $6.09 for hot meals and $5.56 for frozen meals, with reimbursement rates of $12.25 per meal for OPI Classic and XIX/SPPC/OPI-M programs and $0.56 per meal for the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP). The document includes sections for estimating unduplicated persons served and tracking minority and low-income populations served through the program.

The total contracted funds budgeted amount to $266,032, allocated across LCOG funding sources: $142,000 from Older Americans Act, $66,700 from Oregon Project Independence, $30,632 from the Nutrition Services Incentive Program, and $26,700 from the Human Services Commission. The budget template requires proposers to detail administrative and direct service expenses, including salaries, wages, benefits, meal costs, program supplies, facility and vehicle expenses, and transfers to operating reserves. Additionally, the budget mandates an in-kind revenue requirement of $14,200, with volunteer contributions tracked separately for volunteer drivers and kitchen assistants valued at $34.89 per hour according to 2024 federal values. The document is structured as a fillable template with yellow cells for proposer data entry and white cells containing formulas for automatic calculations.
