How To Configure Budget Template Settings

Budget Templates allow you to provide applicants with budget categories, if desired. These categories link back to your organization's budget categories. Based on the application settings, applicants can or must use the provided template, they may create their own budget, or they do not have to provide a budget.

The Budget portion of the application can be available, required, or hidden. Applicants may be allowed to create their own budget categories in addition to using budget categories provided in the template.

1. Open Award Management>Fund Opportunities or >Grant Opportunities.
2. Click an opportunity name.
