Matching Grant Overview
Now in its 25th year, the Matching Grant Program is a competitive grants
program that helps U.S. private voluntary organizations (PVOs) develop their
community-based programs overseas. By matching dollar-for-dollar a PVO's own
resources, the Matching Grant Program supports PVO programs that are consistent
with USAID's evolving priorities (such as microenterprise development and NGO
Capacity building in conflict affected areas) and geographic interests. Through
the Matching Grant Program, PVOs can expand successful programs in new places,
initiate new projects, or undertake experimental or innovative projects that
offer potential for learning and replication.
The Matching Grant Program is no longer issuing Request for Applications
(RFAs). This program will be phased out by FY 2005 when the remaining Matching
Grants expire.
