What percentage of in-kind contributions is required, or does Open Grants wholly fund projects?
We encourage you to explain any in-kind contributions in the ‘Budget justification’ section (8.1) of the application form. You should also list these in-kind contributions in the ‘Other Contributing Organisations’ section (8.2) of the application form. For more detail, please see the guidelines available at: http://www.nrm.gov.au/funding/open.html. There is no requirement that in-kind contributions match the amount of funding being sought, but in-kind contributions may be taken into consideration by the panel when assessing applications, particularly the value for money.
