NEA 3/7/16
SAMPLE IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION FORMS
Page 1 of 5
Instructions:
Use the templates, or a similar form, on pages 2 and 3 to document in-kind contributions. In-kind
contributions are third-party donations of goods, facilities, or services used to meet the matching
requirement for an NEA award. Your organization is not required to use these exact forms if your
organization has other means to record the data.
Do not include property, facilities, or services contributed by your own organization. The third-party
donations must be necessary and reasonable for the project, and allowable per 2 CFR 200 Uniform
Guidance Subpart E Cost Principles.
On the form, show how the value of each contribution was determined by filling in the appropriate
boxes.
For donated goods,
provide a description and number of items,
date provided, and
the total fair market value of the items;
For facilities,
the published rental rate and hours or dates the facility was used.
For volunteer services (one person per form),
list the number of hours worked,
date(s) of service,
type of service, and
rate of pay.
Examples of completed in-kind contribution reports are on pages 4 and 5 Example A and B.
All in-kind items reported must:
Be provided by a third-party, either an individual or an organization, not the grant recipient.
Be for allowable costs and activities that were included in your approved project budget.
Be supported by documentation that corroborates the fair market value of the goods or
services provided.
While you may use allowable third-party in-kind contributions to meet the matching requirement for
your award, you cannot be reimbursed by the NEA for in-kind donations.
Additional guidance regarding in-kind contributions is located in 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance. See
especially, §200.306 Cost sharing or matching (b), (d) (j).
