About this file

This is a budget template document prepared by the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), Division of Community Programs, for the MINDSOURCE program. The template is designed for organizations submitting proposals or bids for state and local contract opportunities with CDHS. The document provides a standardized Excel-based budgeting tool that allows vendors to enter detailed expenditure information across multiple budget categories including Personal Services, Supplies & Operating Expenses, Travel, Other Costs, and Contractual services. Organizations are required to complete all fillable cells (highlighted in light yellow) with specific, itemized line items rather than broad catch-all categories, ensuring that future invoices can be easily reconciled with the original budget submissions. The template automatically calculates totals across all categories and generates a summary one-pager for submission. All completed budgets must be saved as PDF documents and submitted to CDHS contact Nancy Chittick at cdhs_mindsource@state.co.us, with the remittance address at 1575 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203.

The template includes provisions for organizations to detail gross earnings and fringe benefits for personnel services with percentage-of-time allocations, itemized supplies and operating expenses, travel costs with justifications, contracted services to third-party organizations, and indirect costs calculated at a default rate of 15 percent. The instructions emphasize precision in budget preparation, prohibiting the combination of dissimilar items and requiring organizations to list specific components within broader categories (for example, breaking down office supplies to include pens, paper, printer ink, keyboards, mouse, and notebooks individually). An example budget is provided demonstrating appropriate budget structure, including personal services for a Chief Executive Officer at 10 percent time allocation and a Project Specialist at 100 percent allocation, various supplies and operating expenses totaling $1,043, travel expenses of $5,465, and contractual services for accounting and audit purposes totaling $8,000, resulting in a total budget of $124,924.80 after indirect costs.
