The Council may contract with nonprofit organizations to administer targeted funding programs and technical assistance services in areas not directly funded by the Council. These activities are carried out with funds granted through the Regrants category. Funding in the Regrants category is available only at the invitation of the Council.

Administrative costs for delivery of services can vary depending on the nature, depth and scope of the work, but rarely exceed 15% of project costs.
