I was supporting a client develop a VFM-style financial proposal recently, and our conversations prompted me to share this resource. ‘Value for Money’ is a project developed by People in Need, and on their website they share a great set of tools to do a VFM analysis, as well as this handy guide.

For anyone who applies for institutional funding, I recommend bookmarking this guide and check the page from time to time. I find their budget template super helpful, and it’s also handy during project design to make sure each component of your Theory of Change has been considered in your budget. Hope it’s useful for you!
