Writing a federal proposal is a multi-step process with every tier requiring an equal level of intense consideration. The federal budget piece is probably the most detailed and specific item on the federal proposal to-do list. Illinois ResourceNet’s face-to-face workshop will tackle the topic of federal budgets and help attendees sort through the daunting section of the federal proposal.

Jay Readey, Illinois ResourceNet technical assistance provider, will explain the importance of managing your organization’s finances to improve your success in applying for a federal grant.

Highlights from the federal budget process workshop include:
• The differences between indirect and direct cost rates
• Allowable expenditures
• Matching and cost sharing and accounting compliance requirements.

In addition, this session describes the principles used in developing a budget narrative.

Attendees will walk away knowing how to plan and monitor financial activity, while establishing a solid line of communication between program staff and budgeting staff. Organizations need to be prepared to manage the federal budget detailed in their proposals.

Space is limited for this event.

The cost for this event is $35 and includes the cost of UIC lot parking if you are coming by car. Additional parking information will be covered in your order confirmation.

The workshop will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at the Great Cities Institute located at 412 S. Peoria Street, Suite 400, Chicago, IL 60607. Great Cities Institute is located within the UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs.
