What are matching grants and why should you want them? Some funders require grant seekers to raise a portion of the needed funding. The grantor will then match the amount of money raised to cover the cost of a project. The purpose of a matching grant is to encourage the recipient to increase its revenue and broaden its support base. Though there are challenges to meeting the criteria in order to apply for matching grants, the end result can yield a much greater return on the time and effort you put into writing and submitting this kind of grant proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
