BUDGET JUSTIFICATION FOR ECOLOGY CENTER’S FINI FUNDING

Congratulations on being selected to participate in the Market Match program and thank you, in advance, for your attention to detail on this Budget Justification. The Budget Justification should detail all expenses in your PART I Attachment A: Budget. All expenses should demonstrate math used to get to the expense total and a justification for the expense.

Here are some important things to note as you fill-out this document:

  • Remove all highlighting and instructions in final document before submitting to the Ecology Center.
  • Use blue font when filling out document.
  • If you do not have an expense in a section, clear out highlighting and unnecessary text. Keep all Section Headers and insert$0 Under Federal, Non-Federal and Federal +Non-Federal Total in section header.
  • Non-Federal means your MATCH. These are the funds that you can bring to the Market Match project. These must be from a non-federal source and non-obligated to any other funder.
  • Make sure that your Budget (Attachment A) and your Budget Justification section numbers are identical.
