Budget Template for Death Penalty Mobilization Fund (DPMF)
KENTUCKY COALITION TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY
Grant Period: JANUARY 1, 2015—DECEMBER 31, 2015
Instructions:
Please complete the following budget template and submit it with your RFP.
Please feel free to add additional lines as appropriate to accurately reflect
your financial information.
Please note that the total project revenue should be the same as the total
project expenses. The amounts in the requested or committed columns for
project revenue should only reflect funds for lobbying and/or electoral
activity.
An organization must apply to The Advocacy Fund (not Tides Foundation) to
request funding for lobbying activities. Both 501(c)(3) AND 501(c)(4)
organizations can apply for lobbying.
Only 501(c)(4) organizations can apply to The Advocacy Fund to engage in
electoral advocacy/political work. Please note these expenses in the
appropriate area below.
If you're applying for both non-lobbying funding through Tides Foundation
and lobbying/electoral advocacy funds through The Advocacy Fund, you
need to submit separate budgets for each grant application.

Additional financial information:
The following answers should be submitted in narrative form. Please answer ALL of
the following questions directly on this sheet:
= Of your organizational budget, how much is for death penalty-related work? 100%
= How much did you receive from FADP-affiliated foundations for death penalty-related
work in 2013? In 2014? Please use the Grants Committed Chart to list the foundations
and the respective amounts. (Note: If you were awarded multi-year grants from FADP-
affiliated foundations prior to 2013 that included payouts or carried into 2013 or 2014,
please note this and include the 2013and 2014 amounts of those grants in your figures
for each year.)
o In 2012 we were notified that we received $40,000 from Tides
Foundation and it is being spent in 2013 and 2014 fora salary for an
Outreach Coordinator.
o In2013 we received $20,000 from Tides Foundation to fund the salary
of an Outreach Coordinator and $10,000 from the Tides Advocacy Fund
to contract with Media Consultants.
= How much are you seeking from THEMIS-affiliated foundations for death penalty
related work for the remainder of 2014? For 2015 work? If this amount represents an
increase from the prior year, is that because (a) you hope to expand your death penalty-
related work? (b) the increase is a replacement for other grants/donations that you no
longer expect to receive? Or (c) some other reason. Please explain.
o Weare not seeking more funding for 2014, but using the funds from
the grant announced in 2013 as noted above.
o For 2015 we are asking for $74,156 from Tides Foundation and
$14,276 from the Tides Advocacy Fund. This represents an increase
because we hope to expand death penalty related work. In 2014 we
requested $61,500 from Tides Foundation and received $20,000; and
$18,500 from Tides Advocacy Fund and received $10,000.
How much of your total budget do you receive from non-FADP/THEMIS related
sources? (Please list funding sources of $10,000 or more).
o Wehave no funding sources of $10,000 or more. $47,000 is from non-
FADP/THEMIS related sources.
o If fully funded by Tides the 2015 budget will be $143,832, of which
nearly 33% is derived from non-FADP/THEMIS sources.
When do you anticipate needing this funding? Please provide relevant information in
terms of both notification and cash flow. (NOTE: while notification for all LOIs is
planned for late September, if you plan on needing funding prior to November, please
indicate this in a cover note with your LOI. While we can provide no assurances at this
time that funding will be available for any specific organization nor on any timeline, if
we are alerted to pressing needs we might be able to respond in a more timely manner.)
o We do notanticipate needing funding from this grant request until
January 2015. Our cash flow is such that a monthly or quarterly check
from the funders would be sufficient.
