certified copy of the applicants certificate of incorporation or similar document if it clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or 4
any item described above if that item applies to a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.
2. a. Cost Sharing or Matching: Under section 2212f of the ESEA, each grant recipient must provide from nonFederal sources an amount equal to 50
percent of the amount of the grant which may be provided in cash or in kind, to carry out the activities supported by the grant. Applicants and grantees should budget relative to each annual award of TSL grant funds.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to take this requirement into account when requesting Federal funds and limit their requests appropriately. Applicants should verify that their budgets reflect both the requested Federal award amount and the matching contribution with appropriate cost allocations. TSL
Matching Formula: Total Project Cost multiplied by .67 equals Federal Award Amount.
b. Supplement-Not-Supplant: This program involves supplement-notsupplant funding requirements. In accordance with section 2212g of the ESEA, funds made available under this program must be used to supplement, and not supplant, other Federal or State funds that would otherwise be expended to carry out activities under this program. The Secretary considers all schools funded by the Department of Interiors Bureau of Indian Education to be LEAs, and the funds that these schools receive from the Department of Interiors annual appropriation to be neither Federal nor State funds. Further, the prohibition against supplanting also means that grantees seeking to charge indirect costs to TSL funds will need to use their negotiated restricted indirect cost rates. See 34 CFR 75.563 for more information.
c. Indirect Cost Rate Information: This program uses a restricted indirect cost rate. For more information regarding indirect costs, or to obtain a negotiated indirect cost rate, please see www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocfo/
intro.html.
d. Administrative Cost Limitation:
This program does not include any program-specific limitation on administrative expenses. All administrative expenses must be reasonable and necessary and conform to Cost Principles described in 2 CFR
part 200 subpart E of the Uniform Guidance.
