De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: Organization staff and contractors track their detailed time and provide monthly time sheets to the bookkeeper. That time is coded by project and grant dollars are utilized to cover that time. Expenses are also coded to projects or activities and coded on invoices, credit card statements and expense reports. Unrestricted dollars are utilized for any time or expenses that may exceed what any particular grant may allow or that exceed the amount of restricted grant dollars awarded. But many, if not most, of the Organizations grants cover Organization staff time and some direct expenses such as travel, meeting costs, consultants, etc. The Organization does have unrestricted revenue to support all of the work: The Ogranization Member/Designated Districts make an annual contribution which are unrestricted, thus the Organization does not use the de minimus indirect cost rate.
