budget proposals
Fiscal allocation drafts
Budget proposals are formal plans outlining anticipated revenues and expenditures for a specific period, typically submitted for approval by a governing body or authority.
Governments present budget proposals to legislatures; departments submit them to executives; organizations propose them to boards.
The term implies something not yet finalized: The mayor's budget proposal faces opposition in the city council.
A budget proposal becomes a budget once approved.
