A list of each of your project’s components – If your project consists of more than one element (e.g., brochure, poster, website, direct mail piece, packaging, etc.), list each individually.

The projected completion date for each component – Projects must be completed within six months of receipt of the grant award. – The applicant must complete the work. – Once a grant is awarded the design applicant cannot change.

The costs for each component – Costs may include itemized expenses such as paper and printing, distribution costs and advertising if applicable, as well as out-of-pocket expenses.

– Itemized costs cannot include hardware or overhead components such as travel or rent. – Refer to the list of acceptable itemized costs for further information. – Note that Sappi paper products should be the dominant stock for the printed component of your project, so your itemized paper cost should be based on Sappi paper.

An honorarium, if you so choose, for your design time that is up to 10% of your total budgetPlease refer to the line item at the bottom of the list to include that amount.

– If the grant awarded is less than the original requested amount, the designer honorarium will be adjusted to reflect the percentage you requested against the final grant amount.
