Project Budget

Quick Grants cover honoraria, travel costs, and miscellaneous costs related to program promotion and activities. These grants cover no more than half the cost of a project.

The Council requires that you calculate the amount of volunteer time, services, and contributed materials (rental space, phone, postage, copying, equipment rental, etc.) that your organization expends for the project, which is referred to as cost-share. The total cost-share for your project must equal or exceed the total amount of your request. Estimating such information in your project budget demonstrates that the sponsor shares the cost of public humanities programs in Michigan.

Please adjust the values below to reflect the budget for your project.
