Matching funds may not include: 1) payment for treatment services or the donation of treatment services; 2) services assisted or subsidized by the Federal government; or 3) the indirect or overhead costs of an organization. All costs designated as meeting the match requirement must be documented by the applicant and will be subject to audit.
