Part II: Budget Narrative and Sustainability Plan

The Budget Narrative

The total budget for the whole project that will involve the construction of building from the ground and renovation of the old ones is $4,012,938. This amount is expected to cover a total of 25 sites corresponding to the tertiary institutions in this state and shall be broken down as explained below. The leading members of the project are the director, project coordinator, secretary, academic coordinator, clinic coordinator, and project evaluator. Most people are supposed to work full time because the project is large and demanding.

Salaries for the people coordinating the whole process are significantly large because of their qualifications and skills which were a requirement for transparency, efficiency, and competence that were needed to accomplish the project. Among those working full time are project director, clinic coordinator, project evaluator and project secretary who will be paid $9,822, $7,587, $7,124 and $ 6,978 respectively. Per hour, each will be paid $61.4, $47.42, $44.52, and $43.61 according to the minimum wage requirement in their respective job group. Each one of them will be working a maximum of 40 hours in a week, and all of them will be reporting to the project director. The whole project will take a whole year to complete the above-mentioned salaries, and their benefits are monthly for the whole year. In one month, salaries will be totaling to $41, 410 and the benefits will be $2,074 which sums up to $43, 474. In a year this will be $521,688. Project coordinator and academic coordinator will be working part-time since they are the employees of one of the tertiary institutions in the country where they will still be serving for the most part of their time.

The cost of consultation is $2,750 for the whole year. It is not possible to break it down into weeks since consultation will be done once for every site that shall be open where about 25 sites are expected to open in the whole state that corresponds to the number of tertiary institutions in this country.

For contracts, the whole amount needed is $3,456, 000 which include all the subcontractors such those who will install lighting and elevator, ventilation and air condition, drainage, and water piping, doors, and kitchenware, painting, among many others. Travel will cost around $10,000 for the whole year where each month $833 will be spent on fuel for traveling from one site to another attending meeting in the many sites. Itemized equipment includes site safety equipment for staff, office furniture, printers, and desktops in the office that will cost around $10,000 the whole year. Supplies will only cost $3500 for the whole year. Supplies will include printing papers, ink for printers, files, and stationery for the whole year. Other expenses are the insurance, electric bill, water bill, and first aid equipment. They will cost approximately $9, 000 for the whole year (Von, 2016).

The Sustainability Plan

There are two main ways in which my agency plans to continue operating this particular program once the funding has run out. The two main ways are external sources of funds and internal sources of funds. The external sources of funds include seeking more aids and grants from other donor agencies, government funding, donations etc. Since the program will have been rolled out successfully, it will be easy to get financial support from other governmental and non-governmental organizations.

It is through the internal sources of finances that the project will also be sustained. My agency will raise finances through some revenue creating activities. For example some houses which will have been built will be rented to the youth. The total rent which will have been obtained will be used to sustain the project. The agency will also seek financial help from well-wisher through its website. Through these mentioned ways, the agency will sustain the project in future.
