What are the limitations on administrative expenditures?
No more than 5 percent of the total grant awarded for any fiscal year may be expended to administer the program. Funds requested for administrative use must be requested in the application on the appropriate budget schedules, including indirect costs. Direct administrative costs may include costs associated with accounting and other fiscal activities, auditing, and overall program administration. Direct administrative costs also include salaries and benefits for staff who supervise activities of program staff and insurance that protects the grantee.
