The FundBook ID State Edition
March 2011
Helping communities find the federal funding they need.
The View from Idaho State
I
daho lawmakers plan to write a state budget that will require nearly $92 million in cuts in funds to state agencies for the next fiscal year. The budget setting agenda has not yet been released, but the target date for completion of budget setting is Friday, March 11. The Governor’s state budget plan for Education Reform and Health Care will be the cornerstone for many of the cuts. Proposed Federal cuts are expected to have a severe impact on Idaho communities. With so many unknowns, how can project planning for grant proposals be developed?
The Winning Strategy
The winning strategy is supported by innovative collaboration that results in new paradigms for budget components for Match. Winning proposals will have a minimum 50/50 match and often more. To identify, document and utilize a high match will require a series of activities that push entities into new territory. How does an agency or department develop increased grant match without taking in additional funds? To start, there needs to be close work between the department and the finance office. This may require that personnel work out of their ordinary assignments, but in the long run will benefit every one. Together, they will analyze the department revenue to identify dollar amounts resulting from a variety of revenue streams. Included are those generated by fees, licensure, committed multi-year grants by source, and state and federal non-completive flow through. Previously funded grant budgets will be reviewed for how match was identified and utilized. This provides updated information on categories of match that is available to use when applying for different categories of grants. Pre-developed match scenarios will use this information to assist decision makers to respond quickly when federal and state allocations are set and RFPs are released.
An Innovative Regional Case Study
Anticipation of reduced federal funding and increased competition for fewer dollars brought together a coalition of regional multistate agencies.
They met to identify federal grants that would reoccur in yearly cycles for the following four years. Through cooperative planning, decisions were reached regarding which agencies would propose for what funding in a given year. Nonproposing agencies collaborated with propsers by participating in the project to the extent that they could legitimately provide match. This strategy has won multiple funded grants in the first year of the 4 year cycle. Pre-developed match scenarios available from collaborating agencies are ready for the next round of RFP’s. This enables the identified proposer to respond to RFP guidelines and rules on short timelines.
Concluding remarks
The challenges presented by the spending cuts currently under discussion at both the state and federal level will further define the winners and losers in grant competition for not only for 2012/13 but for years to come. Competitive proposals resulting in funded projects will require new thinking, collaborations, partnerships, and cooperation. The winning strategy will change the landscape in arenas where turf wars have been common in the past. § This article was contributed by Janet Bourque of Bright Star Grant Consultants.

Thumbnail primer on matching funds
M
ost Federal grants require match including cash or confirmed funding commitments from other sources. Very few Federal grants can be matched by other federal grants. In-kind matching contributions for federal grants that conform to the provisions of federal 7 CFR 3015.50 and 7 CFR 3019.23, as applicable, can be used as matching funds. (Current versions can be found through grants.gov.) Matching funds are subject to the same use restrictions as grant funds and have to be tracked and documented. Determining match for grant applications to any Federal Agency should be a coordinated process at the State and local level. It is highly recommended that programmatic staff at the State and local level consult with their State level program officers prior to submitting any grant applications Those that identify cash or in-kind match must meet the requirements of provision 7 of CFR 3015.50 and 7 CFR 3019.23.
Types of match: Cash Match (hard) for federal grants includes nonFederal cash spent for project-related costs, according to the program guidance. Allowable cash match must only include those costs which are in compliance with 2 CFR Part 225, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments (OMB CIRCULAR A-87) and 44 CFR Part 13, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. It may also include awarded grants from foundations, general fund monies, cash donations and cash corporate sponsors.
as income in the budget, it must also show the corresponding expenses. An item donated at a major discount is shown at the whole expense. It is listed as the portion being donated under in-kind contributions. In-kind contributions can be important as they demonstrate all the ways the community or other agencies are supporting the project as well as the true cost of the project. Depending on the required budget format, in-kind contributions can be entered into the budget or listed as a footnote. Each RFP guideline should be carefully examined for the rules on in-kind contributions for that particular proposal. Savvy grant seeking entities will have done their homework so that they can quickly respond to funding conditions that are predicted to be more demanding than ever. Thoughtfully considered approaches, high match ratios, and timeliness will give you an edge. § This article was contributed by Janet Bourque of Bright Star Grant Consultants.

In-kind Match (soft) means contributions of the reasonable value of property or services in lieu of cash which benefit a federally assisted project or program. This type of match may only be used if not restricted or prohibited by program statute, regulation or guidance. It must be supported with source documentation. For Federal grants, only property or services that are in compliance with program guidance and/or program regulations, 44 CFR § 13, and 2 CFR § 225 are allowable.
The Idaho Fiscal Sourcebook, 2010 Edition details the sources and uses of funds for state agencies. It includes those funds specifically appropriated by the Legislature and those funds that are continuously appropriated or limited only by revenues as provided by statute. This publication organizes each department that has spending authority for the listed funds into six broad functional areas: 1) Education, 2) Health and Human Services, 3) Public Safety, 4) Natural Resources, 5) Economic Development, and 6) General Government http://goo.gl/6MwXQ
In-kind contributions: Gifts of goods or services instead of cash can include donated space, materials or time, for instance. If in-kind contributions are listed

The FundBook
Actionable funding information, visible results.
The purpose of The FundBook is to empower America’s local governments by increasing their awareness of, and ability to pursue, federal financial assistance for local projects. This is via a monthly publication which describes federal programs that are currently available, how to best pursue available funds, and trends in federal funding for projects relevant to local governments. Our product is designed to be the most user-friendly federal funding awareness resource for all sizes of local government.
• In-depth articles with analyses and recommendations of how to pursue federal funding for different capital improvement projects. • A single local government’s subscription can be sent monthly to as many full-time staff as requested.
• Dual focus on both grants and appropriations for expanded options and security. yo u r nce t e n h a ic le fl e e g to n d in n t’ s ve h fu g e in F in d g ove r n m l lo c a Dem nom

FY10 this program consisted of $15.5 million split among 20 awards and will almost certainly be available again in the coming year. The application period closed September 8 this year, so there is some time to plan a competitive grant before the new application cycle begins. The EDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund (GCCMF) was established to strengthen the linkages between economic development and environmental quality. One of the project types supported through this program is new construction or renovation that leads to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green buildingâ&#x20AC;? with an LEEDâ&#x201E;˘ or comparable certification. Projects that are chosen must lead to a net positive outcome in terms of energy, materials, and/or water use efficiency. In FY10 this program consisted of $25 million and will almost certainly be
available again in the coming year. The application period is rolling, so there is as much time as necessary to plan a competitive grant before applying. (See p.11 Demystifying the EDA Grant Process Additionally, one of the most promising resources for local governments looking for this kind of federal funding is through their stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Energy Program (SEP). However, SEPs vary as the Department of Energy emphasizes the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as decision maker and administrator for SEP activities within each state. Priorities, and the amount available for this project type, are set by the state. To find out if funding is available in

your state, contact your area State Energy Office.
Other funding mechanisms There are also other funding types available for local government energy efficiency in buildings projects, though most are available at the state, not federal, level. An excellent resource that lists state programs relevant to this project type is the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, which can be accessed at goo.gl/h4b6 One federally available option is Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) which can assist financing qualified energy conservation projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a term that includes energy efficiency capital expenditures for public buildings. QECB funding is available on a state-by-state basis, based on whether the federally issued funds have already been committed. Interested officials should contact their State Energy Office for additional information about availability. >
