The Donated Resources are submitted to FEMA in a Project Worksheet. FEMA will subsequently issue its decision. Approved Donated Resources offset the non- federal match of the eligible emergency work approved in Project Worksheets. For non-state agency SUBRECIPIENTS, the donated resource value will first be applied to the SUBRECIPIENT's non-federal match, and, if a DEPARTMENT match is authorized, any remaining donated resource value will be applied to the DEPARTMENT's match. The value of any approved Donated Resources are calculated as described in FP 9525.2 - Donated Resources (2014), and are capped at the non-Federal match of approved eligible emergency work costs. The Federal match of the Donated Resources will not exceed the non-federal match of eligible emergency work costs approved in Project Worksheets. Any excess credit can be credited only to other eligible emergency work costs, for the same SUBRECIPIENT in the same disaster. The value of excess donated resources cannot be credited toward or transferred to another eligible SUBRECIPIENT, or toward other State obligations.
