This is a Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) calculation table for XYZ Organization's budget submission under the Strengthening Community-Backed Governance to Advance Stability and Peace in Burma federal grant opportunity. The budget totals $830,000 in direct costs across seven categories: personnel ($100,000), fringe benefits ($50,000), travel ($55,000 for airline tickets, visa fees, lodging, and per diem), equipment ($15,000 for a generator), supplies ($6,000 for a laptop), contractual subawards ($509,000 distributed across four entities ranging from $39,000 to $200,000), and other direct costs ($95,000 for venue rental and childcare support for female participants). The organization applied $408,000 in exemptions, including $73,000 in participant support costs, the portion of each subaward exceeding $50,000 ($320,000), and $15,000 in equipment costs, resulting in a Modified Total Direct Costs of $422,000. Using a 15% De Minimis Indirect Cost Rate or NICRA, the calculated indirect costs equal $63,300.
This budget supports the Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor's (DRL) Cooperative Agreement focused on advancing peace process prospects in Burma by strengthening Ethnic Resistance Organizations, civil society, and state-level actors. The funding falls under CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, which supports democracy and human rights initiatives globally with typical individual project awards ranging from $500,000 to $2 million.
