Can a multi-year project request more funds for one year and less in other years, or do budgets need to remain evenly spaced?
It is acceptable for your project to have a fluctuating budget according to your timeline. For example, you many anticipate higher start-up costs in year one, with lower program maintenance costs in years two and three. The key is that the budget be designed to fit the needs described in the proposal. Your Budget Narrative, a required piece of submission, should clearly explain changes from year to year.
