Exhibit B Budget Template.xlsx

This is a Budget Template document designed for applicants to the Foster Support state and local contract opportunity in Colorado. The template is used to organize and present detailed project budgeting information across multiple fiscal years, with applicants required to provide their organization name, proposed project title, project period, and primary contact information. The document outlines a comprehensive framework for projecting expenses over a five-year period, allowing flexibility for single-year or multi-year funding requests.

The budget template itemizes expense categories including salaries and wages (broken down by individual position and employment status), fringe benefits, consultants and professional fees, equipment, fundraising events and projects, occupancy costs, postage and delivery, printing and copying, professional development and training, supplies, telephone/fax/internet services, travel, subcontracts, and indirect costs. All line items include corresponding budget columns for Years 1 through 5, with subtotals provided for major categories (salaries and wages, fringe benefits, and other expenses) and a grand total for overall project expenses. This standardized format ensures consistency in budget submissions and facilitates comparative evaluation of applicant proposals for the Foster Support initiative.
