Applications not using NAAF’s template may not qualify for review. The completed budget must be uploaded both as an Excel file (.xlsx) and as a PDF file (.pdf) . The completed budget narrative must be uploaded as a PDF file (.pdf) .

Do not list line items or funds for which you are not requesting, such as in-kind funds or funds from outside organizations being leveraged towards the project. There is space to include in-kind and leverage funds in other areas of the application.  \nIfa project or projects presented in an application are accepted for funding, NAAF may recommend that only a portion of the successful applicant’s funding request be approved and reserves the right to decide what components or parts of an application and budget request are funded. Full funding is not guaranteed and NAAF may fund any number of projects listed in an application, regardless of how many are applied for.  \nFor example, if an applicant applies for General Focus funding and two Special Focus areas, NAAF may fund only one or two of them. Applicants are requested to itemize expenses related to categories of activities (e.g., training/technical assistance, re-granting, etc.) in their budget(s) and budget narrative(s) so that reviewers may isolate funding categories for further review, if necessary, in making final funding recommendations. Please develop budgets and budget narratives that can withstand the process of being selectively funded. Please refer to the 2024 RFA Budget Template, 2024 RFA Sample Budget, and 2024 RFA Sample Budget Narrative for  \nfurther guidance.  \nNAAF requires a unique budget and budget narrative for each proposed project, whether it be a general or special focus area, that an organization selects in the application. In the budget narrative, provide descriptive information concerning the items for which funding is requested. Please give sufficient detail to adequately discuss the budget items related to your project narrative.  \nPERSONNEL COSTS  \nThe personnel section covers salaries and wages and fringe benefits for employees of the applicant organization who will contribute to the proposed project. In the budget template, create a line item for each staff member with the following information: job title, percentage of time devoted to the proposed project, total annual salary and anticipated salary increases for year 2 (if applicable) . For each personnel line item you create, create a matching line item for associated fringe costs. In the budget narrative, provide details on the role of each staff member in the project and indicate whether the position is new.  \nSee example:  \nDIRECT COSTS  \nDirect costs are expenses incurred for activities linked directly to the proposed project.
