Budget Tips

• Grant applications for housing construction projects must use our standard budget format. Please submit a budget form that includes all line items that appear on the template, in the order in which they appear. Download a Microsoft Excel 97 version here.
• There is not a standard budget format for renovation projects. However, we expect that applicants will itemize all costs, and be prepared to provide copies of job quotations.
• Habitat for Humanity projects may be eligible for grants up to a maximum of 15% of the capital costs. Please use the standard budget form (MS Excel link above).

Freedom of Information & Privacy Policy
The Real Estate Foundation has policy and procedures regarding its compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Please note the following (from "Statements of Policy", section 5.8):

"Although the Foundation may place conditions on funding--including conditions that information may have to be published--and closely monitor how funds are used, the projects funded are considered by the Foundation to be independent projects managed and controlled by applicant organizations.

Any personal or other information collected, used and disclosed by the applicant organization during the project therefore is considered by the Foundation to be information that is in the custody of and controlled by the applicant organization rather than the Foundation. The applicant organization therefore is responsible for that information and must, in most cases, comply with private sector personal information protection laws rather than the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act that governs the Foundation's collection, use and disclosure of information."
