Formula and Matching Requirements
Statutory Formula: Title III Chapter Section 303 Part N/A Subpart N/A Public Law 111–320, CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010 42 USC § 10403(a)(2)(A)(ii)

Matching is mandatory. 42 U.S.C. § 10406(c)(4) No grant shall be made to any entity other than a state or tribe unless the entity agrees that, with respect to the cost to be incurred by the entity in carrying out the program or project for which the grant is awarded, the entity will make available (directly or through donations from public or private entities) non-federal contributions in an amount that is not less than $1 for every $5 of federal funds provided under the grant. The non-federal contributions required may be in cash or in kind. A tribe, as defined in 42 U.S.C.10402(5), is exempt from the match requirement under the FVPSA. Tribes are not required to provide match under this program (see 42 U.S.C. 10406(c)(4)). Any entity other than a state or Indian tribe that receives FVPSA funding to provide the services specified in 42 U.S.C. 10408(b)(1)(A) – (H) (including training and technical assistance), must provide no less than a 20 percent match. Tribal organizations (as defined by 25 U.S.C. 5304) are not exempt and must provide match. The determination of whether the match is exempt or required for a tribal consortium depends on the entities that comprise or make up the consortium. A Tribal consortium is defined as “a partnership between one or more tribes (including qualifying Alaska Native villages and entities) that authorizes a single tribal organization or nonprofit organization to submit an application and administer the FVPSA grant funds on their behalf. A tribal consortium may also consist of a group of tribal organizations or nonprofit organizations”. A tribal consortium comprised of a group of tribes is exempt from providing a match, and a tribal consortium comprised of a group of tribal organizations or nonprofit organizations is required to provide a match.

MOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing.
