There are two forms of matching sources. One, cash match, includes cash spent for project-related costs, e.g. salaries of emergency management positions. Two, in-kind match, includes, but is not limited to, the valuation of in-kind services. "In-kind"is the value of something received or provided that does not have a cost associated with it. For example, if in- kind match is permitted by law, then the value of donated services could be used to comply with the match requirement. The match funding source for EMPG cannot be matched to any other federal grants. The Sub-Recipient will identify to the Recipient the match source on EM Form 66.
