Administrative/Indirect Costs:  Administrative costs are general or centralized expenses of overall 
administration of an agency/organization that receives grant funds and does not include particular program 
costs.  Such costs are generally identified with the agency/organization’s overall operation and are further 
described in 2 CFR 220, 2 CFR 225, and 2 CFR 230.
Indirect costs are costs of an organization that are not readily assignable to a particular program, but are 
necessary to the operation of the organization and the performance of the program.  The cost of operating and 
maintaining facilities, depreciation, and administrative salaries are examples of the types of costs that are 
usually treated as indirect.
Applicants must list either Option A or Option B and provide proper justification for expenses included:

X Option A - Administrative Costs:  with proper justification, applicants may include an allocation for 
administrative costs for up to 10% of the total direct costs requested of the grant request.  
Administrative costs may include allocable direct charges for:  costs of financial, accounting, auditing, 
contracting or general legal services; costs of internal evaluation, including overall management 
improvement costs; and costs of general liability insurance that protects the agency/organization(s) 
responsible for operating a program, other than insurance costs solely attributable to the program.  
Administrative costs may also include that portion of salaries and benefits of the program’s director and 
other administrative staff not attributable to the time spent in support of a specific program.
OR

Option B - Federally Approved Indirect Costs:  If your agency/organization has a federally approved 
indirect cost rate agreement in place, applicants may include an allocation for indirect costs for up to 
10% of the direct costs.  Applicants must provide a copy of their federally approved indirect cost rate 
agreement.
