[lstac] Match question

[Mary Rayme -MSL-]

Hi all--

We had an IMLS site visit earlier this week that went really well. The only
place where I felt like we are in over our heads was the Match question.
What are allowable Matching funds?

For example, we distribute over $60 million every year in state funding to
public libraries. Does this count as Match? Also, when we have competitive
grant cycles, libraries may choose to include Matching funds toward their
LSTA project. Are these Matching funds as well? (We do not require matching
funds.)

I think I have the MOE sorted out but the Match still seems somewhat
mysterious. What does your state include as Matching funds for LSTA grants?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Mary
