However, we've seen many nonprofits struggle to manage complex expense reporting. So, our suggestion is to use per diems, which translates literally to \u201cper day.\u201d This means that nonprofit employees and contractors (or volunteers) are reimbursed based on a daily rate instead of reimbursing them for every receipt.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-basics.com\/features\/per-diem-management\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/information.data-basics.com\/hubfs\/Per%20Diem%20Memes\/per-diem-dr-evil-per-day-meme.png\" alt=\"Nonprofit per diem management provides reimbursement &quot;per day.&quot;\" \/><\/a> Specifically, nonprofit per diem management can make a real difference in fueling your mission.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 4 tips for nonprofits to use per diems to get the most out of their resources.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #347eb5; font-size: 18px;\">1. Simpler is better.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-basics.com\/features\/per-diem-management\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/information.data-basics.com\/hubfs\/Per%20Diem%20Memes\/per-diem-toy-story-meme.png\" alt=\"Nonprofit per diem management can be complex everywhere.\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFirstly, check out the most recent federal per diem rates and make yours the same or similar. The rates change based on geographic area, but you can find those rates at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/portal\/category\/104711\">GSA website<\/a>\u00a0or you can download the official app provided by the GSA called <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/per-diem-for-continental-u.s\/id438535861?ls=1&amp;mt=8\">Per Diem for Continental U.S<\/a>. According to reviews, the app isn\u2019t quite stable yet, but it\u2019s a tool to keep an eye on for more features.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #347eb5; font-size: 18px;\">2. Consistency is key. <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-basics.com\/features\/per-diem-management\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/information.data-basics.com\/hubfs\/Per%20Diem%20Memes\/per-diem-great-gatsby-meme.png\" alt=\"Nonprofit per diem management for meals, incidentals, and lodging. Cheers!\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSecond, it's important to understand what per diems are meant to do. Essentially, you have options as to what your per diem will cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>meals and incidentals (like food and the cost of an Uber);<\/li>\n<li>meals, incidentals, and lodging (lunch, a shuttle from the airport, and a hotel room).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To sum it up, pick one that will work best for you and make it a consistent policy. This\u00a0 means putting it on your reporting forms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Related Article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.data-basics.com\/2018-per-diem-rates-for-business-travel-go-into-effect-soon\" target=\"_blank\">2019 Per Diem Rates &amp; Mileage Rates Updated<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #347eb5; font-size: 18px;\">3.

Nonprofits often need a system that can handles per diem business inside and outside of the United States, as well as meals and expense allowance.<\/p>\n<p>Also consider that the system should be able to customize the per diem based on whether you\u2019re working with an employee or a volunteer.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #347eb5; font-size: 18px;\">4. Extra per diem is a thing. But be careful with it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #347eb5;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-basics.com\/features\/per-diem-management\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/information.data-basics.com\/hubfs\/Per%20Diem%20Memes\/per-diem-office-space-meme.png\" alt=\"I was told there would be extra per diem.\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\nYou have the option to increase your per diem rates a little more than the federal rate. If you take this route, consider that anything over the federal rate might mean that your volunteers or employees pay taxes on it. Luckily, nonprofit per diem management handles these details for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Above all...<\/h3>\n<p>You have options when you\u2019re implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-basics.com\/products\/non-profits-ngos\/\">nonprofit per diem management<\/a> with a NetSuite integration.
