The purpose of identifying the match funds is for all parties to understand how resources have been reallocated or programs reshaped in order for the service learning process to be integrated. For example, a school may transport students to the service activities with a bus. The value of the bus and driver is a match. Any paper or materials not paid for with subgrant funds is match. The value of the time of any individuals providing professional support who are not identified as volunteers for the program is a match.
Any materials donated to the service project by businesses or any other entity is a match.
The value of any space donated specifically to support the service learning process is a match. The value of any goods or funds collected at or during service learning processes is a match.
