Do the competitive grants require local match dollars?
Some do, some don’t. However, in many cases, that requirement for local match dollars is being waived. If there is a grant that requires local match dollars and your organization cannot meet that requirement, it is recommended that you petition for the waiving of that requirement. If you contact the State of Michigan’s Recovery office to make a request, they will also advocate on your behalf for the waiving of this requirement. There is no guarantee of a waiver, but if that is the only thing keeping your orgnanization from applying for a grant, certainly make the request for a waiver.
