Budget Information Budget Definitions/Tools

Direct Program Costs are those expenditures that directly support the project. Examples include but are not limited to: salaries, tools, transportation of the crew, crew supplies, personal supplies (e.g. boots, gloves, etc.) or other costs that can be tied directly to the project.

Administrative/Indirect Costs are those expenditures for activities that are necessary for the support of the program but are not directly tied to the program. Examples of these costs include but are not limited to: salary-related expenses, miscellaneous office supplies, costs incurred for grant reporting requirements, accounting costs, etc.

Leverage is a financial commitment toward the costs of a project from a source other than the granting organization through cash and/or in-kind contribution. Leverage can be achieved by a commitment from the grantee or through various partnerships.

To help Applicants determine projected personnel costs, OYCC has developed a basic Cost Calculator that is available here.
