Is the WPDG eligible for inclusion in a PPG with 5% match?
The regulations that govern Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs) can be founds at 40 CFR 35.136 for State Grantees, and 40 CFR 35.536(c) for Tribal grantees. A reduced match may be available for Tribal grantees that place the WPDG grant funds in a Performance Partnership Grant. Performance Partnership Grants (PPG) enable Tribes to combine funds from more than one environmental program grant into a single grant with a single budget. If the Tribe includes their WPDG competitive grant as a part of an approved PPG, the match requirement may be reduced to 5 percent of the allowable cost of the work plan budget for the first 2 years in which the Tribe receives a PPG; after 2 years, the match may be increased up to 10 percent of the work plan budget (as determined by the Regional Administrator). The match is not reduced for non-tribal applicants.
