How do I create a budget for a grant?
First off - it really can’t hurt to contact the org that has funding available to talk through your application and what they are expecting. Trust me - they are nice people, and they want you to be successful!

There is no one “correct” way to go about building a budget. A budget breaks down for you, and the person you are asking to invest in your idea, exactly what $$$ you require to deliver your proposal. That includes labour, software, etc - any and all expenses

Always add in a bit extra as ‘contingency’ to factor in things you haven’t considered, or the project going over time/budget.
