Agency Budget and Budget Narrative (4-Page Minimum)
• This section, each agency has been given $750,000.00 in year one start up funds:
▪ By now YOUR agency should have a vision, mission, goals, objectives and an organizational chart, and job descriptions (all part of the strategic planning process). It is time to move to the budget! Be sure to include the salary of those you created position descriptions for!
▪ YOUR task is to construct an AGENCY BUDGET outlining DIRECT expenditures by category (i.e. personnel, printing). The fringe benefit rate is 22% at your agency for full time employees and the INDIRECT cost rate is 0%.
▪ As the Executive Director, construct an AGENCY BUDGET NARRATIVE that concisely outlines the rational or anticipated need for each item that is to be purchased in the budget.
▪ Make sure to brainstorm with your anticipated expenses as well as some “rainy day” funds should you need to redirect expenses! “Rainy Day” cannot bed used as a line item but what if the copier breaks? Perhaps there is a maintenance line item?
▪ Are you planning to pay volunteers? If so, are you going to pay for a background check too?
**I am leaving room for creativity here. How much is your rent per month for a commercial operating space? Are you paying insurance on your structure?
**Also, no two agency budgets will look alike and there is no WRONG answer as long as all expenses are justified, and the rationale clearly stated in the budget narrative.
**In your research you may have come across “actual brochures, resources, and items you wish to purchase” for your agency. While you will not have “exact” amounts for all items you can use your best judgment.
**However, if you want to buy a desk top computer then choose a brand, make, and model and then print a quote from Dell, HP or another supplier. In the real world you would have to justify more expensive purchases.

ETR Associates www.etr.org also provides a variety of literature for purchase. Why buy it if you can get it free from federal sources?Agency Budget and Budget Narrative (4-Page Minimum)
