There isn't really a secret to these. Look at previous Finboard applications and copy as much as you can. These are accessible here by clicking on the link for old Finboard applications and inputting the Ensemble's FInboard account number. Despite what they say, they don't actually care if you submit an itemization for items more than $200, at least when these items are things like props or costumes that are hard to predict in advance. Appeal if anything bizarre happens and you don't get money for something you normally do. Make sure to read Finboard's rules for what money you can and can't have- don't bother asking for things they explicitly deny, like off campus retreats, or more than $100 in publicity money. Definitely look at food rules to make sure you're using them properly- you can classify food as event food or operations food, and there are limits to each, so use them wisely.
