Agency Name: Indian River County Sheriffs Offfice SRT 8. VOCA MATCH BUDGET Program Match: The Final Program Guidelines require that all proposals provide a 20% match of the total VOCA project. Total VOCA Project is defined as the VOCA Budget Request plus the Program Match. Match funds are subject to the same restrictions that govern VOCA grant funds, i.e., the source of program match must be a VOCA- allowable expenditure. To determine the amount of match required by the Final Program Guidelines for the proposed VOCA project, divide the total amount of the VOCA Budget Request by four. The result is the amount of the program match. For example, if the VOCA Budget Request is $30,000, then divide$30,000 by four which equals $7,500. In this case, the required match is$7,500 which equals 20% of the total VOCA project. The following further illustrates the program match requirement: $30,000 VOCA Budget Request +7,500 Required Program Match ($7,500 equals 20% of the total VOCA Project) $37,500 Total VOCA Project Allowable match funds may include, but are not limited to, volunteer, staff salaries, rent, equipment, operating_ costs, etc. Federal funds from other sources cannot be used for VOCA match. Match used for the VOCA project cannot be used as match for any other grant. Do not over report match, i.e., do not provide match in excess of 20% of the total VOCA project. Match may be provided as either cash or in-kind or a combination of cash and in-kind as follows: Cash Match: A cash match is any cost component that is included in the agency's overall budget as it applies to the provision of direct services for victims of crime, i.e., staff providing direct victim services, travel related to .. the delivery of direct victim services, rent paid by the agency for the portion of the program providing direct victim services, etc. If the agency pays for the expense, then it may be used as a cash match. In-Kind Match: An in-kind match includes donated items or services that benefit the program but which do not have a dollar value assigned for budgeted purposes. For example, programs may use volunteer hours as match. The value placed on donated services must be consistent with the rate of compensation paid for similar work in the applicant agency. If the required skills are not found in the applicant agency, the rate of compensation must be consistent with the labor market. Programs may use items donated by other programs or individuals as in-kind match, i.e., rent and utilities used for the provision of direct services to victims and donated by another source outside the agency. The Program match section is an itemized description by budget category of proposed matching contributions. The budget categories are personnel, contractual services, equipment and operating expenses. Provide a detailed (itemized) list and a budget narrative for each budgeted category. Indicate the funding source and indicate if it is a cash or in-kind match. Do not over report required match.
