BEST Detailed Project Budget

Information Needed to Complete a BEST Grant Application

The detailed project budget is a cost budget spreadsheet for capital construction projects. There are two tabs on the spreadsheet: the cover sheet and the detailed project construction budget, which includes soft and hard costs.

This is the recommended format for submitting a detailed cost budget with your grant application. However, you can choose to use your own format as long as that format meets or exceeds the requirements and items listed in the CCA Detail Project Budget.
