1	There are three tables in this spreadsheet: 1) the Project Budget Table, 2) the Personnel Detail Table and 3) the Leverage Table. Please complete all three tables.
3	Project Budget Table Instructions: 1. This budget table includes cells for entering numbers and cells for entering text descriptions. 2. Each row represents a category of expense (cost). Costs can be entered for project timeframes of up to 3 years for small grants and up to 5 years for large grants. For each type of expense, there are a place to enter costs and a place to enter a brief description about what the funds will pay for: There are examples and further descriptions for each row in Column M. 3. When you are entering costs for each category of expense, only include the amount that will be paid for using PCEF dollars. Any costs paid for by another source goes in the leverage table. For example, if your project includes the purchase of 100 trees for $2,500 but PCEF funds will only pay for $1,500 of the total, you would enter $1,500 in the table as Equipment, supplies and materials, and the remaining $1,000 would show up in your leverage/match contribution. 4. Enter information in the clear cells for which your project has an expense. If your project does not have any expenses in a certain category leave that cell blank. Do not enter information into shaded cells. 5. Overhead expenses are capped as follows: 10% on contracts, travel, and equipment/supplies/material; 20% on personnel and other. 6. The personnel costs in the Project Budget Table should equal the total personnel costs in the Personnel Table (below); check to be sure this is correct. 7. The value for match resources will carry over from the total calculated in the Leverage Table (below); be sure to check that this value is correct.

6		Total (C+E+G+I+K)	Year 1 Costs	Description of Year 1 project costs. See instructions for this row in Column M	Year 2 Costs	Description of Year 2 project costs if applicable. See instructions for this row in Column M	Year 3 Costs	Description of Year 3 project costs if applicable. See instructions for this row in Column M	Year 4 Costs	Description of Year 4 project costs if applicable. See instructions for this row in Column M	Year 5 Costs	Description of Year 5 project costs if applicable. See instructions for this row in Column M	Explanations for rows.
7	Personnel (staff of your organization working on the project)	$ -	$ -		$ -								This row describes the personnel from your organization that will be working on the project, broken out by year. The costs are calculated below in the personnel table. The description say what is being funded either as FTE (Full Time Equivalent) or total hours over the life of the project. For example, 0.5 FTE outreach coordinator (1040 hours), 0.25 FTE program manager (520 hours) Year One, 0.20 FTE outreach coordinator (416 hours), 0.40 FTE program manager (832 hours) Year Two.

9	Equipment, supplies and materials	$ -	$ -		$ -								This row describes purchases that are needed for the project. The description should provide enough detail to understand the cost. For example, room rental for three community meetings ($150 X 3 = $450), food and beverage for three meetings estimating around 50 people per meeting ($12/person X 50people X 3 meetings = $1,800), etc.
10	Contracted work	$ -	$ -		$ -								This row describes payments to businesses or organizations to conduct work for the project. Examples might include nonprofit partners or for-profit businesses.

14	Overhead/indirect	$ -											This row is for overhead costs such as rent, utilities, administration, insurance, websites, etc. These are sometimes called indirect costs or admin costs. Overhead costs on PCEF projects cannot exceed 10% for travel, material, and contract costs and cannot exceed 20% for other costs including personnel.

16	Percent total overhead/admin/fiscal sponsor fee	0.0%	<--If RED, include justification for exceeding 25% cap										The combined overhead of projects with a fiscal sponsor may exceed 25% if justification is provided.
17	PCEF Request	$ -											This figure is your request for PCEF funds. It includes your expense categories total, overhead, and fiscal sponsor charges (if applicable).
18	Match/leverage	$ -											This figure describes project funding from other sources (e.g., grants, donations, in-kind contributions). The figure entered here comes from the Leverage Worksheet.
19	Total Project Cost	$ -											This figure describes the project budget (total cost) and includes PCEF funds as well as other contributions to the project budget (e.g., grants, in-kind contributions).
21	PERSONNEL BUDGET TABLE
22	The personnel budget table is for the cost of personnel (staff) from your (the applicant) organization that are working on the project. List one position per line. If multiple people occupy the position and earn the same wage and fringe, these positions can be combined. The hourly wage rate is the amount per hour that someone is paid. The hourly fringe rate includes non-wage hourly costs such as health insurance, vacation, and taxes. This figure should not include overhead costs as those are included in another line. Estimated hours should include the total hours across the life of the project (all years). For example, if the person will work 20 hours per week in year 1 and 40 hours per week in years 2 and 3 you would include the hours for all three years. Column E is calculated for you based on the number of hours (Column D) times the total wage cost (B + C or hourly + fringe). Add additional rows if needed. NOTES: 1) The personnel costs entered here are only for staff of your organization. 2) All people working on PCEF funded projects must be paid at least 180% of minimum wage for the time they spend working on the PCEF project.
