1 Texas Administrative Code § 3.73 – Matching Funds Policy
(a) If matching funds are required on a grant, an applicant must ensure that it possesses or can acquire the require matching funds. A contractor or participating entity may contribute toward the matching funds requirement, but the applicant bears the responsibility for satisfying the matching funds requirement.
(b) Matching funds may either be cash or in-kind. Cash match includes actual cash spent by the grantee and must have a cost relationship to the award that is being matched. In-kind match includes the value of donated services. An applicant’s use of matching funds must comply with the same statutes, rules, regulations, and guidelines applicable to the use of the OOG-funded portion of a grant project.
