Core costs can mean different things to different organisations, so we want to be clear about what we consider to be core costs. These include:

  • Utilities.
  • Rent or mortgage payments.
  • Administrative, operational and management salaries (please provide the total amount).
  • Insurance.
  • Office costs.

The following are not considered core costs, as they are directly related to the delivery of charitable activities:

  • Ongoing payments for professional or qualified services, such as:
    – Counsellors.
    – Therapists.
    – Other service delivery staff.
  • Ongoing payments for equipment required to deliver services.
  • Any other costs directly associated with delivering charitable activities.
