    Historically, ACF has found that the imposition of a matching 
requirement on awards under these programs results in an increased 
level of community support and, often, a higher profile in the 
community. This can contribute to the success and sustainability of the 
project. The Fiscal Year 2008 funding opportunity announcements for 
each listed program will advise applicants on the percentage of funds 
that must be contributed through non-Federal resources, the composition 
of the match, and the merit of the match as a criterion in the 
competitive review. The amount and acceptable types of non-Federal 
resources allowed is not negotiable. However, matching may be provided 
as direct or indirect costs. The presence and composition of matching 
funds may be used as a criterion in evaluating the merits of an 
application during competitive review. Specific information related to 
the matching requirement and competitive review will be provided in the 
specific funding opportunity announcement. Unmatched Federal funds will 
be disallowed. Costs borne by matching contributions are subject to the 
rules governing allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23 and 45 CFR 92.24.
