Valerie,

I do not charge personal memberships to contracts/grants (except in the
instance that you mentioned when it does not specifically state the
individual membership cost).  Although the OMB Circular does not
specifically state what not to charge, I have read in other documents
where it specifically states this. For example, when I previously worked
for the Commonwealth of PA, we dealt with the Dept. of Justice quite a
bit.  They had their own summary manual of unallowable charges (their
interpretation of OMB) and it stated No Personal Memberships
specifically.  For this reason, I've followed this rule for other
agencies.

I, too, would be interested in hearing how others handle this.
