Cost Allocation Template

A multi-framework cost allocation schedule for organizations managing 3–8 concurrent funding streams under 2 CFR 200, ISDEAA, CMS Medicaid, and state contract terms. Pre-filled with a realistic CCBHC example.

How It Works

1

Set up your funding streams

Enter each active grant or contract — award number, funder, framework (2 CFR 200, ISDEAA, CMS, state), and reporting period. One-time setup.

2

Define your cost categories

Map your chart of accounts to SF-424A budget categories. Classify each cost as direct-single, direct-shared, or indirect. One-time setup.

3

Enter shared costs monthly

Each month, enter actual shared costs and the allocation basis (FTE ratio, square footage, time & effort). The template calculates each stream's share.

4

Export per-funder reports

Generate framework-specific output for each funder — formatted for SF-425, ISDEAA schedule, PPS cost report, or state contract reporting.
