Frequently Asked Questions
What are typical indirect cost rates for non-profits?
Federal grants often allow 10% de minimis or negotiated rates (typically 15-30%). Foundations vary: some allow full indirect, others cap at 10-15%. Our calculator helps structure budgets that comply with funder requirements while covering true organizational costs.
How do you calculate cost per beneficiary?
Total program costs (direct + allocated indirect) / Number served. Example: $100,000 program cost / 500 people served = $200 per beneficiary. Compare against similar programs and demonstrate efficiency to donors and funders.
Do you store organizational or donor data?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. We do not collect, transmit, or store any budget information, program data, or donor details. Your non-profit information remains private.
