Example 6: Proposed Budget/Cost Breakdown for an Interpretive Center (Eligibility Category: Byway Facilities):
| # Description | Total Cost | Requested | Match |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Master Plan | 10,000 | 8,000 | 2,000 |
| 2. Fundraising Campaign | 8,500 | 6,800 | 1,700 |
| 3. Construction | 200,000 | 160,000 | 40,000 |
| Total | $218,500 | $174,800 | $43,700 |
This example is less successful because it:
- Bundles construction costs together and costs of specific construction items are not separated out
- Includes a line item for fundraising (line item 2, $6,800). This cost is not eligible for National Scenic Byways Program (NSBP) funding because it is not consistent with the cost principles identified in the Office of Management and Budget Guidance for Grants and Agreements.
