Grant Proposal Budget
Project details
What we need
- An itemized budget written specifically for the grant funds we’re applying for
- The budget should be complete, identifying both direct and indirect costs involved
What we have in place
- We have an accountant who can call up reports and help with some budgeting. We are hoping to get a large grant so we can secure an appropriate space to expand CASA's offerings. I have done research on real estate costs. CASA has been in business for nearly 20 years. While I have a limited understanding of finance, I do have a strong sense of what is needed to grow our program.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,000 , allowing us to provide 1 full year scholarship to a new student.
CASA currently reaches kindergarten - 5th graders. We have a one year transitional middle school program called Club 6. We are hoping to expand our middle school offerings into an off-campus club house. To do so, we need to raise 50k. I believe that this is a very fundable project as there are so few options for this population in San Francisco. I believe that a clear and realistic budget would greatly strengthen our grant applications.

Our mission
CASA is an independent, nonprofit, creative arts after school program with an emphasis on social justice and social emotional development.
Our diverse team of artist/educators are committed to addressing social justice themes; not just in the top-notch creative arts curriculum, but also in daily interactions with students. We are dedicated to guiding San Francisco youth towards open expression, expansive hearts and questioning minds.
What we do
We provide creative arts instruction to kindergarten - 5th graders in a radical and inspiring environment. CASA teachers infuse their curriculum with social justice themes and encourage positive connections and community building. We focus on relationships and communication and work daily on peaceful conflict resolution.
Testimonials
Jane was wonderful. She explained financial concepts to me in an accessible way and got us on track with our grant applications. She is clearly a super productive powerhouse who so generously volunteers her time.
It was wonderful to learn more about CASA and the financial inner workings making it tick. The organization's mission is just awesome and I wish Leslie and team the best of luck!
