Donations are third party contributions provided at no cost. Items and services are considered donated when they are provided by a third-party organization at either a reduced or cost-free basis. Some examples include surveys, appraisals, and engineering services. You must retain a Donation Attestation Form from the organization acknowledging the donation and its value.
The value of donations cannot be reimbursed, cannot include items previously purchased with Louisiana Outdoors Forever funds, and cannot be reported on more than one grant, even if it is unassociated to the project. To be counted towards a project’s match, donations must be documented on the Donation / In-Kind Tracking Form.
Volunteer Labor Tracking Form: Donated labor is time provided by a person without compensation. Labor donations are valued at an hourly rate of pay, excluding taxes, benefits and overtime.
