Assignment 2: Applied Project Section 5: Budget with Justification and Sustainability Plan
Budgets are ruled by the bottom line, so they must be scrutinized and justified at a granular level- Line item justification is not
simply a list of budget
categories, but a breakdown of each component of each line item of the budget- As such, it is a standard procedure with both grant and
private foundation
funders, who want to know exactly how their money is being spent-
Once an initial budget is exhausted, there needs to be a plan in place for either sustaining existing support or securing alternative
support for the program-
Although there are many components to an appropriate framework for program sustainability, it is the partnerships with stakeholders that
provide the
foundation- And it is the community within which your program is going to take root which retains the locus of control over program
implementation, so it must
play a major role in the sustainability of the program itself-
The Assignment:
Develop Section 5 (3 pages) of your Applied Project, which addresses the following:
Create a budget for your community health intervention- You may use a standard budget template or table for this section (e-g-, Excel)-
Your budget should
include a justification for each line item-
Provide a description of your Project Sustainability Plan- Identify possible financial and/or community assets and sources for
continuation of the project after
the initial project period-
