Request changes

We understand that sometimes plans change. Please use this button to request approval for changes to your grant’s budget while your project is in progress. Any variation of 20% or more to any line item in your budget must be approved by staff here before you make the change (for projects with budgets of $15,000 or more, the accepted variance is 10%).

Budget change request

We request an extra CHF 7,700.00 (10% of the grant's total) to cover part of the budget overrun.

Rationale

As explained in our report, the backend work turned into a nightmare around the end of June, which further compounded the cost overrun we were already expecting when our Senior dev had to cover for the junior developer we were supposed to have for the UX implementation. We cut costs as much as we could (for instance, we found another way to pay for the hackathon), but we still end up with a 25% cost overrun. This is not good, and we will shoulder most of the extra expense, ie everything above the acccepted 10% variance (that is, of course, if you guys accept it).
