Your Budget
Saskatoon Health Region community grants may not be used to cover budget items for which there are funds from another source. Grants may not be used for items which would be considered part of Saskatoon Health Region’s core business or regular programming.
If you have applied to more than one organization or grant for funds to support part of this project, you must indicate that on the grant application. If your project requires more than one source of grant-based funds to proceed, and if your project is approved for funding by the Selection Committee, SHR will not release its grant funds until they have received confirmation of funding from the other granting organization.
The budget must be balanced - income must be equal to expenditures. You must justify the amounts listed on the budget page of the application form. You may include this information as a footnote on the budget page itself or as an attachment to the budget page.
You will be expected to have matching contributions that are equal to or exceed the amount of the grant you are applying for. This matching contributions can be cash, non-cash or in-kind contributions. An in-kind contribution is any non-cash input which can be given a cash value. For example, use of office or meeting space; use of office equipment; access to administrative support; consultative services and volunteer time. In-kind funds can include up to 15% for 'adminstrative costs'. (i.e. utilities, bookkeeping, janitorial supplies, etc.)
Include as much budget detail as possible. For example, for honoraria, please provide a detailed breakdown of items such as number of hours, cost per hour, number of individuals, etc.
