Can money received through a fundraiser be used as match for IAC funded projects?
Yes, it is legitimate for matching funds to be obtained through all types of fundraising, including grants, fundraising events, individual gifts, etc. The money from a fundraiser would be considered applicant cash match, and should be noted as such in the application budget. However, if attendance at the fundraiser is required order to also participate in the activity for which grant funds are being sought, the project would not be eligible because access to the grant project is limited by participation in the fundraiser.
