• To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation plan

• To develop, demonstrate, and implement a comprehensive allocation process

• To understand the importance of accurate, well‐ supported invoices and documentation

Learning Objectives

Page 4: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

• Cost allocationmeans the process of assigning to two or more programs the costs of an item shared by the programs. 

• The goal is to ensure that each program bears its fair share, and only its fair share, of the total cost of the item. 

• Cost allocation planmeans a written account of the methods used by the grantee agency to allocate costs to its various funding sources. 

• A written cost allocation procedure should be a part of the agency's written accounting procedures. These procedures can provide an auditor with a clear description of how funds have been allocated when more than one funding source has been awarded. This section should include regulations governing cost allocation and a guide that provides principles and standards for determining costs as they apply to federal, state, and local governments.

Cost Allocation

CAP is a guide for Non‐profit organizations. The CAP should be tailored to fit the specific policies of each organization. If your organization’s policies are different in any of the categories, please specifically identify the methodology used.  Although there are different methodologies available for allocating costs, the methodology used should result in an equitable distribution of costs to programs. Recipients must have a system in place to equitably charge costs consistently.

Why allocate expenses?

Page 7: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

• Reasonable: Ordinary and necessary to accomplish the purpose of the contract and comparable to market prices.

• Allowable: As per the regulations.  An example of an unallowable cost are costs for fundraising activities. Those costs are not allowed by First 5 Fresno County.

• Allocable: The expense must benefit the cost objective per the Scope of Work.

• Consistently applied: You cannot switch methods to generate more revenue or treat one cost as direct for one contract and indirect for another contract.

• Documented: The methodology for allocating costs must be documented.  This includes time studies and functional time sheets.

Agency  Budget

• Current (fiscal or calendar year) 

• Shows income and expense by funding source or program 

• Shows allocation of shared and indirect costs by funding source or program 

• Shows fundraising separate from program expense

• Clearly identifies all funding sources

The methodologies used in this example are notrecommended methodologies. They are used for demonstration purposes only.  Allocation of costs should be accomplished on a cost benefit basis.  This cost benefit can be different from one non‐profit to the next.  Any change in the allocation methodology (from the prior year) should be explained.  Also, include explanatory information for individual cost elements as shown above. 

Cost Categories {adjust to fit your organization}

Page 15: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

• A percentage determined by dividing the number of FTEs of each activity by the total number of FTEs from all the activities (excluding any who salaries are treated as common costs).

• A percentage determined by dividing the amount of the payroll expenses of each activity by the payroll expenses of all the activities (excluding common).

• A percentage determined by dividing the square footage used by each activity by the total agency square footage.

• A percentage determined by dividing the amount of the specific expenses of each activity by the total specific expenses of the organization.

Possible Allocation Methodologies

Page 16: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

Example

The Centrally Located Copier• Cost to operate includes:

– Lease– Repairs & Maintenance– Toner/Paper/Supplies

• All are direct costs

Page 17: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

But what about:

• space it occupies?• electricity is uses?• Office manager’s time

– paying related bills, – ordering paper & supplies, – arranging deliveries and – coordinating servicing, inc.?

• Indirect costs

Example continued

Page 18: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

Example continued

Three programs use the copier• Foundation Grant – 3 staff• Federal Grant – 11 staff• First 5 Grant – 6 staff

*All are full time staff positions

Page 19: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

How do we apportion or allocate these costs to three different funding streams?

• Equal distribution – proportionate share to each funding source (i.e., 1/3rd each)

– Good  

• Number of staff using the copier– A‐ 15%, B‐55%, C‐30%– Better

• User Codes– Measures actual usage of the copier– Best!

Example continued

Page 20: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

Regardless of the cost allocation methodologies used, all agency’s cost allocation procedures shall demonstrate the following characteristics:

• Information—It shall provide the appropriate accounting information

• Timeliness—It must produce program cost data on a timely basis.

• Consistency—The cost identification and distribution methods selected will be applied consistently from period to period. 

• Accuracy—The information provided shall be as accurate as possible. 

• Auditability—Program costs must be fully auditable; i.e., working papers must be retained showing program cost identification, accumulation, and distribution methods.

Sample Unrestricted Budget with Shared Costs

• This budget format is akin to a high‐level “working” budget

• Often not the format presented to an organization’s board for final approval (generally, the board does not get involved in the details of an organization’s cost allocation methodology)

Cost Allocation Plan: A Sample

• Organization uses a bottom‐line allocation for shared costs

• Shared cost allocation methodology: # of Department FTEs/Total # of FTEs in Organization

• Indirect cost allocation methodology: Allocated Administrative costs + Allocated Shared Costs/Total Specific Costs

Common Cost Allocation Challenges

• “Um, we don’t have a cost allocation plan.”• “Aren’t we supposed to allocate all of the executive director’s 

salary to overhead?”• “We have to use different allocation methodologies – we have 

lots of different types of expenses. There is no ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ methodology!”

• “Different funders have different limits on the amount of indirect or shared costs that can be allocated to grants; what are we supposed to do?”

Page 27: Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) Training - First 5 Fresno Countyfirst5fresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/File-73.pdf · • To understand the purpose and objective of a cost allocation

A Source Budget Should:• Reflect the program reality (be based on the 

most realistic program plan and budget)• Adhere to all proposal or  grant agreement 

guidelines• Support the proposal narrative by explaining 

the costs of the proposed project• Enable management to monitor the use of 

restricted funds• Not be mistaken for an activity budget – it 

only represents a part of the activity
