Match Requirements

Match Requirements. GCRF assistance may not be used to finance one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of any project; however, this limitation shall not apply to projects for public schools. All applicants, excluding public schools must provide a match of at least twenty percent (20%) of the total project costs from non-State funds. Direct project costs accrued on or after April 20, 2010, the date of the Deep Horizon disaster, are eligible as matching funds if they meet the other match requirements and can be documented by the recipient as to how much and when the money was spent. In-kind services cannot count toward the twenty percent (20%) match requirement; however, they are eligible to utilized for matching funds in excess of the twenty percent requirement.
