How Much Money do I Need?

It is important to accurately budget out your project and develop a realistic cost for the work. The amount you need for the project will be determined by the scope and project design. Once you have a firm idea of what you will be doing, ORDA will be able to assist you in determining what it will take, and how much it will cost. It is important to also pay attention to any funding limits imposed by the Sponsor. As you put your project plan together, work with your ORDA Project Officer to draft a budget. If the scope will take more than the grant program allows, you will want to scale back what you plan to do. Proposing a work plan that is more ambitious than the funding program allows can hurt you during the review process.
