Dear List Folks -

Help!

We are submitting a proposal that has a donated service/facility use and
the question has come up  - can we claim unrecovered F&A for the value
of the donation?

Specifically - we will be using a dive hut located at Prudhoe Bay that
is owned by BIG OIL. They are letting us use it gratis. The fair-market
value of this usage is around $20,000. We are using this as part of our
cost-share in a proposal to the feds.

To reiterate - can we claim unrecovered F&A on this donation? We are
having a hot and heavy discussion about the similarities and differences
of this situation to that of  claiming the wages and benefits of
volunteer labor, and the associated F&A that can be calculated. At this
point, I am just plain confused.

Thank you for ANY suggestions or guidance you may have.
