 Operating budget

Enter below all planned income and expenses, including the one-time grant applied for here.

If a separate budget has been prepared for the activity (e.g., a league team), you may attach it as a separate file and do not need to complete the table.

The grant is co‑funding. The grant recipient must also have their own funding to carry out the activity. In addition to monetary funding, voluntary work may be accepted as self‑financing (calculated value €10 per hour). If you include voluntary work in the breakdown, record the calculated value of the voluntary work in both income and expenses so that the total amounts match.
