1. (a) The formal definition of match is any article, service, facility or personnel expenses provided for use by the grant recipient, not to exceed 20% of the grantee's second year award OR the 1994 award as a benchmark, subject to review by the Executive Director and ATPA Board, and to availability of funds. The level of funding for projects receiving ATPA funding will be at the following ratios of maximum ATPA funds and minimum local cash and/or in-kind match contributions (ATPA-funded indirect costs excluded):
2. (b) Projects that have been funded previously from federal or other private sources may apply for ATPA funding as continuation grants. ATPA will assume funding of the project at a ratio level commensurate with the project's funding history.

3. (c) The level of funding for any project is subject to the following restrictions:

   1. (1) equipment costs funded by the ATPA during the project's first year shall be deducted before the calculation of subsequent year funding;
   2. (2) documented increases in project cost that require ATPA funding may be allowed, and the ATPA funds and local cash contribution shall share in this cost at their respective percentages for the year of funding.
4. (d) Grantees who are in their 80% ATPA funding year may either apply for 80% of the second Fiscal Year grant funds without match, or provide documentation for 20% of cash and/or in-kind contribution match, if the grantee chooses to show its local contribution to the grant program.
