I've been waiting for a response to Larry wearing nothing but a smile.
Spanky?

We like to define cash match as anything that we can display as a budget
and/or expense in our accounting system.

However, there are times when sponsors place restrictions on that. For
example, we had a sponsor who limited cash match to new institutional
commitments rather than allowing existing faculty salaries. And, there
are sponsors who will only allow F&A to be counted as in-kind. In these
cases, we grin and bare it.

Colleagues,

Can you share your institution's definition on in-kind vs. cash match?
I
have seen cash match defined as any $$ provided by the institution
(including already-budgeted institutional salary and fringes), and
conversely have also seen in-kind defined the same way.   Thanks!
