Questions-Budgeting What are the series in the budget? How do you know what activity type to choose if you think it may fit in more than one category? What should be budgeted for required state PD?

Budget Series (100) Series- Salaries/payroll wages for organization employees (200) All applicable taxes and benefit costs related to wages in (100) (300) Professional and Technical Services-This includes contracts for services, payments to individuals or companies for services (ex.

Budget activity categories These activity categories are specific to the Grants Management System and are not the same as the activity categories in 21CCLC Federal reporting. Activities can have costs in multiple budget series (salaries, benefits, professional services, supplies, etc). Some categories are broad and can encompass many aspects of programming. Specific categories are available to applicants to better define line item budget for activities that may related to a competitive priority (ex. STEM) or to break out types of activities that are hallmarks of the proposed program (ex. Youth development). The rule of thumb in determining the category to use is to define what the expected outcome is and include the costs for the activity in the category under which that outcome aligns.
