25% lower grant match for nonprofits
If enacted, federal executive agencies would cut required grant cost-sharing by 25% for some nonprofits. To qualify, the nonprofit would need 501(c)(3) status (exempt under 501(a)) and be located in a state where more than 20% of people live below the federal poverty line. The cut would apply only to grants made directly to the nonprofit. It would start on the date of enactment and end 5 years later. “State” would include states, D.C., U.S. territories, and federally recognized Tribes.
