Check a Grant Match Quoted as a Percentage of Grant Dollars

“Twenty-percent match” is incomplete without a denominator. For awards that explicitly apply the percentage to grant dollars, show the required match and each grant’s remaining gap without borrowing another line’s surplus.

1 · grant label | grant dollars | confirmed eligible match dollars

HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE — checkout unavailable. Calculation is local. A draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available; Reset to sample clears it. Optional Pro history stores only five summaries and has its own deletion control. State links encode your inputs and can remain in browser history, clipboard or recipients’ records; share only non-sensitive rows. Optional external AI formatting leaves this device. The required site analytics beacon reports page activity; shared URLs contain encoded inputs. Do not treat an encoded URL as private. The calculator has no input-collection endpoint.

Data note: The match-denominator docket processes grant label | grant dollars | confirmed eligible match dollars locally. Starter/sample selection and Run compute in this tab; no input is sent by the calculator. A local draft may be saved; explicit state-link sharing or optional external AI formatting can disclose inputs. Use non-sensitive labels.

Perspective: Before: a percentage hid whether it applied to grant dollars or project cost. After: the entered grant-dollar denominator and each award’s unpooled gap are explicit.

2 · Read the match-denominator docket

Grant-match arithmetic only, not legal, accounting, fundraising or eligibility advice. It uses a percentage of grant dollars and cannot certify an award, contribution source or in-kind valuation. Confirm denominator, eligibility, timing and documentation with the funder or a qualified grants adviser before committing funds or reporting a match.

Optional filing controls are a local prototype.

Checkout is unavailable. The reading above is complete; print, CSV and five local summaries are optional enhancements, not hidden answers.

Before using the match-denominator docket

Read the award’s match section before using this model. Some programs calculate match as a share of total project cost, others as a fraction of requested grant funds, and some have a fixed contribution. Those are different equations. This docket is deliberately narrow so a plausible total cannot conceal the wrong denominator. The match already confirmed field should include only the forms of contribution the funder accepts, at the valuation it accepts. The app does not decide whether cash, donated goods, volunteer time or another award qualifies. Using a generic grant label is enough; bank details, donor names and award identifiers are unnecessary. The result can support a precise funder question while leaving approval, documentation and eligibility to the responsible people.

Optional AI formatting, never the calculation

Manual entry completes this match-denominator docket for free without signup. If available to you, the free AI Studio interface linked in the sources may format fictional or non-sensitive notes; external access may require an account. No API key or AI call is built into this tool. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Review each cell and transcribe it to the labeled row schema; do not paste the JSON object into the row box.

Format only these fictional or non-sensitive notes for a match-denominator docket. Return strict JSON shaped as {"rows": [{"label": "string", "cells": ["string", "string"]}], "setting": "string"}. The columns are grant label | grant dollars | confirmed eligible match dollars; the setting is Match percentage applied to grant dollars. Keep all supplied strings and quantities exactly; do not calculate, infer missing entries, invent dates or add advice. If any required value is missing, return an empty rows array and ask me for it separately. I will verify every cell against my source and manually transcribe rows using vertical bars before running the local calculator.

An AI response is not executed, fetched or trusted as a result. Missing values remain questions; the strict local parser checks the rows you actually enter.
