Balancing Budgets

  As you prepare to create your legitimate budget for your Week 8 assignment, where are the areas that align well with your existing agency budget and where are their conflicts? Consider whether new staff will be hired. Who will be responsible for the benefits part of the salary. If salary is not covered in the grant requirements, how will you ethically reassign existing staff to the grant positions? How else might you fund some of the expenses your new project will require so that you can claim matching funds? When money is involved, the need for ethical practices is required. How will you ensure ethical use of grant monies? Share both your experiences and your future concerns with colleagues. Cite all sources of information.
