Performance Report

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Explanation**. The baseline year for this measure is 2003. The ratio
is calculated as the total federal appropriation divided by the total
amount of non-federal funds raised by the Close-Up Foundation. For
example, in FY 2004, the federal appropriation was \$1,481,209, and the
Close-Up Foundation raised \$2,153,921 in non-federal funds. The
performance targets are based on the grantees\' past performance in
obtaining non-federal contributions. The goal is that, as federal
funding remains constant, the amount of non-federal funding would
increase.\
\
In 2004 and 2005, the performance targets were met and, as a result, the
Department revised the performance targets for future years. Data for
the 2006 program-reporting period, beginning July 31, 2006 through June
30, 2007.\
