budget request

Ask for money

A budget request is a formal proposal asking for funding, typically submitted by a department or agency to a higher authority.

Government agencies submit budget requests to legislatures; departments submit them to management.

The term implies the amount isn't guaranteed—it's what you're asking for, not what you'll get: The department's budget request was cut by fifteen percent.
