This sample budget is adapted from CTNC’s “Resilience Service Network: Making the Case” Report and 2023 ASC Climate Work Group discussions. This provides a simplified way of considering potential costs required for a combined program initiative. Funding categories include additional support to raise member stipends (the most significant amount); potential support for bringing in non-AmeriCorps programs (and/or nonAmeriCorps members); funding for planning grants to address gaps that may be found in the landscape; placement support to offset host or project costs; and finally, coordination support to manage the initiative (i.e., at a commission).
