Round off all figures to the nearest dollar.  \nProject Budget and Budget Explanation – Use the Public Squared Budget Form to summarize your project expenses. Round off all figures to the nearest dollar. Download budget form template (doc) . The document format has two parts, a budget and a budget explanation.  \nGeneral Instructions  \nOutright funds received from Mass Humanities must be matched equally by your organization. $15,000 is the maximum that can be requested. The total cost-share (cash plus in-kind) must equal or exceed the total Mass Humanities funds requested, but line items need not be matched equally. The exception is line A (project director); the cost-share must equal or exceed the requested funds for line A.  \nFunds may not be requested for expenses incurred before the beginning of the grant period, nor may expenditures made before the start date be used as cost-sharing.  \nThe budget explanation is a line-by-line explanation of how you calculated each item on the budget request form. Be as specific as possible. Make sure to provide the basis for all cost estimates—for example, the estimated number of hours or days a person will work on the project and the rate per hour or day. Identify the sources of your match, both cash and in-kind.  \nOutright Funds Cost-Sharing may be achieved by combining cash (at least 10%) and in-kind contributions:  \nCash Cost-Sharing: At least 10 percent of the funds requested must be matched in cash. In cash cost-sharing, actual money changes hands and must be documentable with canceled checks and/or receipts. Expenditures that may be counted toward the cash cost-share include salaries, travel costs, or other project-related expenses paid from your operating budget, registration fees, or other funding sources (except NEH) .  \nIn-Kind Cost-Sharing: Examples of in-kind cost-sharing include donations of time by people participating in the project (e.g., members of the planning committee); the use of facilities (e.g., an office or lecture hall) or equipment (e.g., a film projector or tape deck); or other donations of goods or services for which a fair market value can be determined, e.g. childcare.  \nChallenge Funds Requested and Matching Gifts  \nChallenge funds must be matched 2:1 by third parties in cash only. $10,000 is the maximum that can be requested. For example, if you request $10,000 in challenge funds, you need to raise an additional $20,000 from third parties. This is in addition to the 10% cash match requirement for the outright funds. Challenge funds will be released as grantees demonstrate the match has been raised. Note: a third party organization is any organization except the sponsoring organization.  \nLine by Line Budget Instructions  \nLine A – Project Director: For this line only, the cost-share must equal or exceed the requested funds.  \nLines A, B and C – Project Administration: Mass Humanities funds may not be requested for services that are part of the normal duties for which an individual is paid by the organization. Mass Humanities funds may be used to compensate part-time employees who are increasing their hours to work on a project.  \nProject salaries paid out of an organization’s operating budget or by another funder should be counted as a cash cost-share. Contributed volunteer time is counted as an in-kind cost-share.  \nThe amount requested to administer a project (lines A+B+C) may not exceed one-half ofthe total amount requested from Mass Humanities.  \nNote: If one person performs more than one task, such as project administration and research, the tasks should be allocated to the respective budget lines.  \nLine D – Planning Committee: Individuals who volunteer their time to work on the project (e.g., as members ofa planning committee) are making an in-kind contribution.
