Shared service activities require two or more participating municipalities. Some projects are open to COGs and other intergovernmental organizations where duly authorized by participating municipalities. <br /><br />DCED may fund up to 50% of the total cost of an approved application. The grantee is required to provide the remaining 50% or greater, normally as a cash match. At least 25% of the total cost must be funded from nonstate sources. DCED will consider exceptions to the 25% non-state minimum where applicants present the case of an exceptional fiscal or other hardship. Applications that will include in-kind match and/or professional services of a grantee’s staff should be discussed with the GCLGS prior to submission of the application. Match must pay for a project activity included in the approved MAP Budget Narrative specified in the grant contract Appendix A. Grantee cash or in-kind expenditures for work not specified in the grant contract Appendix A, whether or not related, will not be eligible as match.
