Exhibit B Budget Template.xlsx

This is a Budget Template Exhibit for a state and local contract opportunity in Colorado related to Foster Support services. The template is designed for applicants to submit detailed financial proposals across multiple budget years, with the primary organization completing sections for applicant name, proposed project name, project period, and contact information. The budget framework allows for up to five years of financial planning, though multi-year requests are optional.

The budget template requires itemized expense categorization including salaries and wages (broken down by individual position with full-time or part-time designation), fringe benefits, consultants and professional fees, equipment, fundraising events or projects, occupancy costs, postage and delivery, printing and copying, professional development and training, supplies, telephone/fax/internet, travel, other specified expenses such as subcontracts, and indirect costs. Each expense category includes dedicated columns for annual budget projections, with totals calculated for each line item and a comprehensive total expenses row. The template provides a standardized format to ensure consistent financial proposal submissions and allows reviewers to compare costs across competing applications for the Foster Support initiative in Colorado.
