Matching funds must:
- Be verifiable from the subrecipient’s records;
- Not be included as contributions for any other federal award;
- Be necessary and reasonable for the accomplishment of the project or program objectives;
- Be allowable under 2 C.F.R. 200.306;
- Not be paid by the federal government under another Federal award, except where authorized by federal statute;
- Conform to all other provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200. Match sources for instructional time or personnel time can be personnel salary and/or mileage.
Match can be calculated by using the Federal Share (award) divided by the percentage of Total Project Cost minus Federal Share.
EXAMPLE: With a match of 20%, and Federal share of 80%,
a $250,000 Federal grant award match is as follows:
$250,000 divided by 80% = $312,500
$312,500 minus $250,000 = $62,500
The 20% local share is $62,500.
Match is restricted to the same use of funds as allowed for federal funds. If an expenditure is not allowable with federal funds, it is not allowable with match funds. Applicants must identify all sources of the non-federal portion of the total project costs (i.e., match funds), and applicants must explain how the match funds will be used in the budget narrative section of the application within IntelliGrants.
2 CFR Part 200 and NHTSA guidelines set forth monitoring requirements whereby the state must establish and carry out a process of assessing the progress of projects and programs that are funded, in whole or in part, by federal funds. Grant monitoring measures both financial and programmatic progress and allows the TSD to provide technical assistance, measure subrecipient compliance, and provide results-based feedback to subrecipients.
The TSD will monitor grant programs based on the award amount and/or risk assessment. The TSD will conduct desk or on-site monitoring reviews of the project or program during the term of the grant period and for up to three (3) years after it expires or is otherwise terminated. All documentation related to the grant shall be provided to the state, upon request, at no cost. If the subrecipient fails to comply or cooperate with the state’s monitoring process, the state may consider such non-cooperation as a material breach of the grant agreement, and the grant may be terminated.
Delinquent, inaccurate, incomplete, and/or fraudulent programmatic and fiscal reports will be considered a material breach of the grant agreement. TSD’s remedies include, but are not limited to, identifying the subrecipient as high risk, de-obligating funding, termination of the
