Government Grant Reforms: What Nonprofits Need to Know to Be Reimbursed for Indirect Costs – Charleston

August 11, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This is a free training for nonprofits on OMB Uniform Guidance.

BESTGood news came to nonprofits in December 2014, when the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published the Uniform Guidance governing government grants and contracts for nonprofits that receive federal grant funds, either directly or passed through state and local entities. Among many changes in the rules, governments are now required to reimburse nonprofits for reasonable indirect grant and contract costs (also called “overhead”—but you’ll find out why that’s inaccurate) when federal dollars are part of the funding stream—even when the federal money first passes through state and local governments. Since most state and local grants and contracts contain federal money, the benefit for nonprofits can be substantial.
Beth Bowsky, Policy Specialist, Government-Nonprofit Contracting at the National Council of Nonprofits and one of the country’s leading experts and advocacy voices on this issue, will provide a hands-on review of key elements of the new Guidance and how your organization can start benefiting from these rules.

Workshop Highlights:
•    Indirect, Overhead and Administrative Costs – Definitions and Difference
•    Understanding the Costs in Your Nonprofit
•    Indirect Cost Rates and Different Methodologies
•    Whether and How to Negotiate a Federal Indirect Cost Rate
•    Public policy implications
•    And more

Who Should Attend?
•     Nonprofit executive directors and CFOs with state or federal grants/contracts and any nonprofit staff with responsibility for budgeting, accounting, or grant/contract compliance.
