Emergency Management Performance Grant

The purpose of this guidance is to further clarify the State of New Hampshire, Department of Safety, Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management's Emergency Management Performance Grant 50% Federal/50% local match guidance regarding cash (hard) and in-kind (soft) match for Emergency Management Performance Grant reimbursements. This clarification is in addition to the verbiage contained in Division's Emergency Management Performance Grant Guidance document.

For match to be considered for reimbursement under Emergency Management Performance Grant subrecipient awards, it must:

• Be verifiable
• Not be included as contributions for any other Federal award
• Be necessary and reasonable for accomplishment of the project or program objectives
• Not be paid by the Federal Government under another Federal award (unless otherwise authorized by the program)
• Be allowable under the EMPG program and conform to the provisions of 2 C.F.R §200.300.

Third-party in-kind (soft match) non-cash contributions (such as services) and cash (hard match) contributions must support the EMPG project/program in accordance with the Division's EMPG Guidance and be pre-approved by the EMPG Program Manager or Coordinator.

For subrecipients using a combination of cash and in-kind match, the Soft In Kind/Cash Matching Tool must be used to calculate the totals needed to meet the project cost.
