  1. Coastal District Match Alaska is required to contribute a dollar-for-dollar match for ACMP funds received from the federal government. The State does not require districts to provide a dollar-for-dollar match for grant funds provided. A portion of the district match is covered by the State.

  2. In FY06, districts are required to contribute $265,000, (approximately 37 cents for each dollar available for district grants.) • Municipal districts contribute 50 cents for each dollar. • CRSAs contribute 20 cents for each dollar.

  3. Why is the contribution rate different for municipal districts and CRSAs? • Municipal districts have a broader range of opportunities to generate matching funds. • CRSAs are limited to in kind contributions to generate matching funds.

  4. Districts have two options for providing match funds: Cash Contributions and In-Kind Contributions

  5. Cash contributions are cash outlay contributed by a grantee in support of a project. Cash contributed to a grantee or subgrantee by other agencies, organizations, or individuals is also considered a cash contribution.

  6. In Kind Contributions are property or services which benefit a project or program and which are contributed by a third party without or for a reduced charge to a grantee.

  7. Examples of Cash Contributions: • Nearly any documented expenditure that supports a district program (that is not reimbursed for by grant funds). • A cash contribution to a district by a third party is also considered match if the contribution supports the district program. • Obtaining a non-federal grant or contribution from a foundation, non-profit organization, or individual for required tasks or a special project can be applied towards a district’s match.

  8. Examples of Cash Contributions: Required Tasks & Implementation Activities not compensated for with grant funds: • Consistency reviews • Conference attendance • Local contact • Meetings: Planning Commission, Borough/Municipal Assembly, pre- application

  9. Examples of Cash Contributions… Coastal management-related work by municipal staff not reimbursed with grant funds, including: • Coastal coordinator • Administrative staff • Supervisory staff • Engineering staff • Public works staff

  10. Examples of Cash Contributions… Municipal projects related to coastal issues: • Culvert repairs specifically to address coastal issues (i.e. improve fish habitat) • Erosion control • Street cleaning • Litter control: beach clean up, junk cars, hazardous materials • Hazard mitigation • Dust abatement • Used oil clean up

  11. Examples of Cash Contributions… Materials the municipality pays for to use for grant funded projects: • Gravel • Other municipal projects related to coastal management

  12. Examples of Cash Contributions… • Education: • Brochures • Presentation by coastal coordinator • Presentations at schools by city staff: i.e. sea week • Other: • Non-federal grant or contribution from a foundation, non-profit organization, or individual

  13. In-Kind (Non-Cash) Contributions In-Kind Contributions can be in the form of: • goods • services • land • facilities • space • personnel • materials, and • equipment calculated at fair market value.

  14. Examples of In-Kind Contributions: • Reduced rates or fees – If an individual in his/her regular line of work charges less than he/she normally does, the difference between the normal and reduced rate is match.

  15. Examples of In-Kind Contributions… • Donated time by an employee: Time donated by an employee is in-kind match if the employee is not compensated and the service and time donated is not part of the individual’s paid employment. • Donated services/volunteer work: Services provided to a coastal district by an individual that is not compensated for the service provided can be used as in-kind match. This includes volunteer time of a board whose sole purpose is to deal with coastal related issues (such as a CRSA board).

  16. Examples of In-Kind Contributions… The catches are: • The service provided must be integral and necessary to the program; • The cost of the donation must be reasonable and necessary; • The contribution must be documented; and, • The rates covering volunteer services provided by individuals must be consistent with rates charged for services in the area served by the district.

  17. Examples of In-Kind Contributions… • Donated equipment or supplies • Loaned equipment or space

  18. There are federal rules that apply to match contributions for ACMP grants: RULES • Federal funds cannot be used for cash or in-kind contributions. • Match contributions can only be used in support of one project or program. • Grantee records must document match contributions. • Match amounts must be necessary and reasonable. • The amount of a district grant should be reduced if required matching funds cannot be provided.
