  1. Status Update on Leveraged Resources

Please use this section of the narrative to report federal and non-federal leveraged resources utilized to support grant activities.


H-1B Technical Skills Training Grants: Report the cumulative amount of match and leveraged resources provided by the grantee and partners along with expenditures each quarter. Leveraged resources are those resources the grantee and its partners may be providing to support the implementation of the H-1B Technical Skills Training grants. Match requirements are contingent upon the grantees proposed activities and whether they are serving incumbent workers. Grantees that incorporate incumbent worker training activities must provide resources equivalent to 50 percent of the grant award amount as matching funds. Leveraged and or match resources may take the form of cash or in-kind donations.  However, grantees that include incumbent worker training activities, 50 percent of the matching funds may be provided in cash or in-kind, however half of the total matching funds must be in cash. Please note the distinction between leveraged resources and required match resources: both must be reported on the Financial Status Report (ETA-9130) quarterly. Match does not include the use of federal funds while leveraged resources include a broader definition that may include federal funds. Leveraged and match resources should also be reported in greater detail in the narrative section. Please use this section of the narrative to provide an update on the status of all leveraged and match resources. The update may include: (1) the organizations that contributed the resources; and (2) the ways in which the resources were used during the current quarter; (3) Cumulative amount of leveraged resources; and (4) Type of leveraged resources contributed to the project.
