Match10
78.7% FEDERAL SHARE
21.3%STATE SHARE
34 CFR 361.60(a)
Match11
Typical Sources…
State appropriations.
Transfers from other units of State government. Third-party cooperative arrangements involving
funds from other public agencies. (34 CFR 361.28)
Match Calculation
FOR EXAMPLE
$27,800,000 (award amount) / .787 (Fed share)
= $35,324,015
In this example, total program outlays must equal or exceed $35,324,015 for the grantee to utilize its entire Federal allotment of $27,800,000.
$35,324,015 - $27,800,000 = $7,524,015
(State share of program expenditures)

State Expenditures
FY 2011
