Question

What is the appropriate F&A rate for use on non-profit, foundations, or charities?

Answer

The F&A paid by the non-profits, foundations, or charities vary widely. The university is generally accepting of reduced rates on non-profits. If the non-profit does not specify a rate in their proposal solicitation or have a published policy, a rate of 10% Total Direct Costs (TDC) should be applied. This Internal Program Rate is also available for municipalities, counties, and community colleges.
