Below is Meridian’s cost share policy for Federal awards, as well as some templates that may be used with speakers waiving or reducing honoraria fees, vendors donating goods/services, and subrecipients providing cost share.
Other acceptable documentation includes, but is not limited to, a vendor invoice clearly stating the type and value of donated goods/services and date of donation, a copy of a flight booking showing the number of airline/credit card points used to purchase, or a volunteer timesheet showing dates of service on a particular project and number of hours worked. If in doubt that cost share documentation is sufficient, please contact the Compliance Team at compliancerequest@meridian.org.
All cost share documentation must be attached to a completed and signed payment request form and submitted to Finance to be recorded in the general ledger.
