The Foundation implemented a new indirect cost rate policy effective for grants with a start date on or after Jan. 1, 2022.

This change is a result of a deep dive analysis of the Foundation’s grantee portfolio and moves toward a more equitable grantmaking approach. Read or watch more details on the changes to the policy, including guidance on defining direct and indirect costs, as well as a list of frequently asked questions.
