Managing Match: Strategies to Meet the Head Start Non-Federal Share Requirement

December 18, 2024

Head Start programs must provide at least 20% of their total program costs through in-kind donations or cash match. These contributions must be used to support allowable costs under the Head Start grant for expenses that the program would otherwise use federal funds. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in a disallowances and negative audit or review findings.

This webinar will provide an overview of the non-federal share (also known as matching share) requirement, the most common ways that Head Start agencies meet their share requirements, and strategies for fulfilling documentation obligations. We will also cover answers to your most frequently asked questions, including:

  • Which items and services count as match?
  • How do you document matching share correctly?
  • When should my program consider requesting a waiver of the match requirement?

Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Head Start Training Package holders. For more information on our Head Start Training Package, click here or contact us..
