(Recorded Webinar) Non-Federal Share/Match

This webinar is closed to new enrollments. For more Head Start trainings, click here.

Duration: 85 minutes
Recorded on: 5/26/2021

Head Start programs must provide at least 20% of their operating costs through in-kind donations or cash match. These contributions must be used to support actual operations of the Head Start program and for expenses that the program would otherwise use federal funds for, if they were available. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in a serious financial penalty.

This webinar will provide an overview of the non-federal share requirement, the most common ways that Head Start agencies meet their share requirements, and strategies for fulfilling documentation obligations. We will also cover answers to your most frequently asked questions, including:

  • Which items and services count as match?
  • How do you document matching share correctly?
  • When should my program consider requesting a waiver of the match requirement?

Target Audience

  • CFOs, Finance Managers, and Finance Department Personnel
  • Other Managers involved in Budgeting and Funds Management
  • Head Start Leadership, including CEOs, COOs, CMOs
  • Executive Directors / Head Start Program Directors
  • Grant Managers, Specialists, and Administrators
  • Program Officers
  • Grant Officers

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Identify items and services your program can count as match
  • Recognize how to document matching share
  • Understand why showing "overmatch" makes sense
  • Discuss common and not-so-common pitfalls to avoid

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
