Example: An applicant submits a planning grant application, selecting the standard cost-share percentage of 67%. The application budget indicates cash costs of $20,000 and in-kind contributions of $20,000 for a total project cost of $40,000. The DNR cost-share rate of 67% would yield a potential grant award of $26,800 based on the cash costs and in-kind contributions. However, $26,800 is higher than actual cash costs identified in the budget of $20,000. As a result, the maximum grant award the department may provide is $20,000.
