What does the Service consider when evaluating a project that includes more than the minimum match?

§ 86.56 What does the Service consider when evaluating a project that includes more than the minimum match? (a) When we evaluate a project under the criterion for match at § 86.51(b)(1), we consider how much cash the applicant and partners commit above the required minimum match of 25 percent of project costs. (b) The contribution may be from a State, a single source, or any combination of sources. (c) We will award points as follows: Percent cash match Points 26–30 1 31–35 2 36–40 3 41–45 4 46–50 5 51–80 6 81 or higher 7 (d) We must waive the first $200,000 in match for the entities described at § 86.32(a). We will determine the required match by subtracting the waived amount from the required 25 percent match and award points using the table at paragraph (c) of this section.
