| 4. Production of mobile marketing strategy and text scripts | 5,000 | 5,000 | 0 |
| 5. Production of out-of-home collateral materials | 5,000 | 5,000 | 0 |

| 11. Placement of television advertising | 20,000 | 20,000 | 0 |
| 12. Matching grant fund | 56,250 | 0 | 56,250 |
| Total | $206,250 | $150,000 | $56,250 |
This budget is less successful because it:
- Includes the amount proposed to match the project funding in the Budget/Cost Breakdown (see line item 12, $56,250) making the total request amount incorrect. Match is not part of the project cost, but instead the funds that are available to pay the non-Federal share of the costs. The total cost should be $150,000 and the Federal share should be $120,000
