Listen "S1: E5 - What Are Grant Matching Funds?"

Episode Synopsis

Have you ever pursued grant funding and wondered, "What's up with this 'match' or 'matching funds' requirement?" You're not alone! In this episode, I'll help you unpack the concept of "match" and "matching funds," whether you're pursuing a government grant or funding from private philanthropy.  To keep things fun for you, I'm going to explain how match is like co-hosting a party with a friend. Your assignment? To bring all the resources and expertise to the table to create a great, effective, and life-changing program of work for the people you serve in your social impact work. I also share how to determine exactly how much match you need to provide. If you want to be competitive in grant applications and demonstrate your commitment to social impact work, understanding match and then providing it is crucial.
