Budget template

All international development programs should have a budget. Donors almost always require a detailed budget to be submitted before they fund a project. Budgets are also necessary to ensure that expenses can be anticipated ahead of time. For large programs there may be an overall budget as well as multiple sub-budgets for specific activities or components.

Many donors and organisations require you to submit the budget following their specific format. However, in cases where the format isn’t specified this simple budget template may be helpful for small to medium size programs.
