What is Indirect costs?

Overhead that supports the program but cannot be tied to a single activity.

Indirect costs cover rent, utilities, accounting, insurance, and administrative salaries that keep the organization running but cannot be attributed to one program. They are charged as a percentage of direct costs.

Federal grantees may negotiate a rate or use the de minimis rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Many private foundations cap indirect costs well below actual overhead, which is a real cost to weigh before applying.
