1. When preparing a budget for the VITA grant, are we allowed to charge indirect costs as an expense or use as a match?

A copy of the current federally approved indirect cost rate agreement must be submitted with the application unless the 10% de minimis rate is used.

2. Is there a limit on the amount of administrative expenses charged to the grant?

No. There is no limit on administrative expenses; although expenses are limited to activities required for the VITA program.
