This episode, Holly explains how to write a budget for a grant, the math grant writers need to understand, and the different categories to include in a budget.
The budget can seem like the scariest part of writing a grant for people who get into writing grants. Why? Because the typical grant writer considers themselves more of a writer than a mathematician.
But as a grant writer, you will master both writing and math.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to be CPA or have taken calculus!
Fortunately, a grant budget is very logical and if you follow the right framework it’s actually quite straightforward.
This episode, Holly explains how to write a grant’s budget, the math you need to include in the budget section of a grant, and the best time to write a grant’s budget.
Holly also talks about the different categories to include in a budget, how to write a budget as a narrative, and common mistakes people make in the budget section.
