Summary

Tribal colleges may use money from any private or tribal source to meet the required matching contribution. Gifts of land or other property given on or after October 30, 1990, can count toward that match at their fair market value as set by the Secretary. If the college later sells or otherwise disposes of that donated property, the sale proceeds must be deposited as the matching rule requires, but those proceeds cannot be counted again as a federal capital contribution.
