Indirect Cost Policy for Project Grants and Contracts for Applicant Organizations
Policy
The Foundation is a charitable entity and is not committed to matching the indirect cost rates of the U.S. government or other entities. We recognize that this means that: (a) some grantees may need to engage in cost sharing between projects, tap into unrestricted funds, or conduct other fundraising to cover operations; or (b) some contractors may choose not to contract with the foundation. However, we believe our policy is consistent with that of many private foundations and certain government entities that have a flat or maximum rate that caps the amount an applicant institution can charge. The Foundation’s policy helps ensure furtherance of our charitable purpose.
Definition of Indirect Costs
- Overhead expenses or ongoing operational costs incurred by the applicant organization on behalf of the organization’s activities and projects, but that are not easily identified with any specific project.
- Administrative or other expenses which are not directly allocable to a particular activity or project.
- Expenses related to general operations of an organization that are shared among projects and/or functions.
- Basic examples include executive oversight, existing facilities costs, accounting, grants management, legal expenses, utilities, and technology support. To further aid the interpretation of this definition, the Foundation has established examples for the use of our applicants and prospective applicants, which are included in the examples below.
Examples
INDIRECT COSTS:
- Existing facilities costs (e.g. rent, maintenance, etc.) such as:
- University headquarters

- Existing shared equipment
- Existing equipment maintenance
- Depreciation on equipment
