The fund 9 total budget is not yet known. These values may get updated depending on what the funding amount is for fund 9. The values below assume a funding round budget of $16,000,000. If this funding amount changes the budget amounts should respect the weighting percentages that have come from this community vote.

**Calculation notes**

Calculating the categories budgets above is derived from the following: ***total funding amount*** x ***70% allocation for all categories*** x ***category percentage***.

As an example, for the Community & Outreach category => $16,000,000 x 0.7 x 0.14 = $1,575,000 (unrounded $1,568,000)
