Indirect Costs Allowable Indirect Cost Recovery for FVA grants is limited to 10% of total direct costs for all applicants. Indirect charges are those items that are often considered and can be classified as those costs associated “overhead,” with accounting, human resources, and other administrative and facility-related costs. Typical examples of indirect cost for many nonprofit organizations may include depreciation on buildings and equipment, the costs of operating and maintaining facilities, and general administration, such as the salaries and expenses of executive officers, personnel administration, and accounting. If your organization has a federally negotiated indirect cost agreement, that document must be submitted as part of the Application Package so that staff is able to determine that direct and indirect costs are similarly treated. If your organization does not have a federally negotiated indirect cost agreement, the flat 10% rate of direct costs is allowable. Please keep in mind that direct and indirect costs must be treated in a similar manner as they are across your organization and may be reviewed for accuracy during compliance visits. Direct that appear indirect in nature need to be fully explained, supported, be reasonable and treated in a consistent manner across your organization. The FVA may ask the applicant to re-classify costs as indirect if the support provided does not meet the above criterion. For more information regarding direct and indirect costs, please see 2 CFR §200.412-414. Enter the total Direct Costs in Table J. to calculate the total allowable Indirect Recovery. Then enter the total Indirect Recover to be charged to the grant this amount may not be more than the total allowable Indirect – Recovery.
