Since the WHC may underwrite no more than half the total cost of a project, grant recipients are required to match the amount of the WHC grant with either cash or in-kind contributions. The latter consist of the dollar value of facilities, services, talents, and time donated to the project. Match requirements do not apply to proposal development grants.
Yes, each grant request must be matched by at least an equivalent amount of cash or in-kind contributions from nonfederal sources. All matching funds and in-kind contributions must be spent on project-related activities that will take place during the grant period, i.e., between January 1, 2010 and the project end date. Cash on hand for use during the award period and/or secured commitments to provide funds, labor, equipment, services or other material support to the project during the award period are all eligible sources of matching contributions. Cash or the value of goods, services and labor spent on the project prior to January 1, 2010, however, can not be counted toward the required match, although your full project budget should reflect these expenditures. Applicants are encouraged to include all non-CCH donors in their proposal budget when tallying cash or in-kind contributions, even after the one-to-one match requirement is met.
