42 U.S.C. § 15026 — Federal and non-Federal share

(a) Aggregate cost. (1) In general. Except as noted below, the federal government's share of project costs in a State can't be more than 75% of the total necessary cost, as the Secretary decides. (2) Urban or rural poverty areas. For projects that target people with developmental disabilities living in urban or rural poverty areas (as the Secretary decides), the federal share can go up to 90%. (3) State plan activities. For projects run by the Council or its staff to carry out the State plan, the federal share can be up to 100%. (b) Nonduplication. When figuring a State's federal share under an approved State plan, the Secretary ignores: (1) any cost already paid with federal funds from a law other than section 15022; and (2) any non-federal funds a State had to spend as a condition of getting those other federal funds. (c) Non-Federal share. (1) In-kind contributions. The State's non-federal share can be cash or fairly valued in-kind contributions, like equipment, property, or services. (2) Contributions of political subdivisions and public or private entities. (A) Contributions from a city, county, or public/private entity working with the State count as the State's own contribution, subject to Secretary rules. (B) This includes contributions the designated State agency makes to support the Council under section 15025(d)(4). (3) Variations of the non-Federal share. The non-federal share required of each grant recipient from a Council can differ from recipient to recipient.
