About Matching / Challenge Grants grants
Matching and challenge grants require recipients to contribute their own resources, leveraging federal funding to maximize community impact. With 64 active grants in this category, opportunities span wildlife conservation and financial literacy programs. Leading funders include the Fish and Wildlife Service and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, supporting initiatives that strengthen nonprofit organizations and local governments.
Awards typically range from $3,000 to $1.1 million, with competitive applications determining all funding decisions. Eligible recipients include 501(c)(3) public charities, city and county governments, with a focus on serving low-income populations. Since cost-sharing is mandatory across all grants here, filtering by your organization type and industry helps identify the best matches for your matching capacity.
