Humanities Grants: Applicant Contribution Requirements


From the Nate Smith Video Project, a short documentary about the Pittsburgh labor activist referred to as the father of the black labor movement. Produced by Robert Morris University in Allegheny County.

To demonstrate their community's interest and support, all applicants must provide at minimum, a contribution that, in value, equals or exceeds the requested funds. For example, applicants requesting $1,500 must bring a contribution of $1,500 to the project. This contribution can consist of cash contributions, in-kind contributions or a combination of the two.

Applicant Contribution = Cash Contribution + In-Kind Contribution

Cash Contribution refers to monies raised for the project by the applicant from sources such as individuals, corporations, foundations, state or local governments and/or nonprofit agencies, etc. This also includes earned income (e.g. admission or registration fees) anticipated by the applicant which will directly support the project.

In-kind Contribution refers to non-cash contributions towards a project. This refers to the dollar value of goods and/or services contributed to the project by the applicant (e.g., miscellaneous expenses such as supplies) and/or a third-party (e.g., donated printing costs).
