Core costs

in
  • Giving Glossary

The overhead costs of an organisation, as opposed to those specific to a project. Whilst these costs do not directly produce outputs of charitable activity, they are necessary to deliver these activities. Examples include general management staff, IT equipment and training, fundraising and governance. See Full Cost Recovery.
