I am creating a budget for a grant application. It is premature to assign individuals to the proposed project. I just need to create a budgetary framework for each of the proposed tasks and timeframe for each of the tasks under generic headings such as:
- Room rental
- Transportation
- Allowance for coordinators & facilitators
- Allowance for mentors
- Speaker fees
- Catering
- Project management
However, it seems that I need to create people and assign a rate and number of days - that is great if and when the project is approved - but is burdensome when all I need is to create a proposed budget. Also, there are some fixed costs, such as catering and room rental - I do not see a way to add costs other that HR costs based on days/hour and per diem/per horam.
There must be a way to do this, no?
