R.I. Gen. Laws § 40.1-8.5-3: Matchable funds.

(a) Matchable funds are those dollars received, whether through a grant by a center for the general provision of mental health services, excluding funds for capital expenditures, and received from one or more of the following:

(1) Individual or business charitable gifts;

(2) Community fund raising net dollars;

(3) Unrestricted donations;

(4) A participating municipality.

(b) The director may authorize a center to include as matchable funds those federal funds the center received directly from the federal government for the provision of mental health services when:

(1) The director determines that without the inclusion of federal funds provided, mental health services to the uninsured or to high-risk populations in the center’s service area will be seriously deficient or disrupted; and

(2) The federal funds are not subject to statutory or regulatory restrictions or requirements that would prevent their use as matchable funds.
