What can constitute the 70% non-Federal share?
Any non-Federal resources used to support the grant can be claimed as non-Federal share. These can include state, local or private contributions which benefit the federally assisted project. The non-Federal share may be met by cash or in-kind contributions including but not limited to investments in early childhood education and development programs, professional development, recruitment and retention of the early childhood workforce, planning and establishing unified data collection systems, conducting statewide needs assessments and “in-kind” contributions of real property, equipment and supplies as well as services, fairly valued, provided by State employees, consultants and Advisory Committee members with direct and tangible benefits for the State Advisory Council program.
