Grant Budget
The blank budget template below lists the typical items that a grant will support, depending on the
project objectives, allowable costs, and any restrictions from the funding agency or Valencia. A
more descriptive definition is provided in the box beneath the listed items. RDO staff will assist
with providing budget details and calculations based upon the needs identified in the project. This
blank budget template illustrates a three-year grant budget, although grant periods can vary greatly
and project originators should edit the template to serve their project’s needs. Internal Valencia
budgets are converted into an Excel spreadsheet during proposal development, while each funding
agency typically requires applicants to use their specific budget template, which RDO staff will
complete.
