272-604: A matching grant; the $ 550 million Canadian federal government investment to connect a Detroit River International Crossing to Interstate 75 in Michigan qualified the state for US$ 2 billion in US federal matching grants that could rebuild other Michigan highways even though the Canadian money was nominally a loan, to be repaid by tolls on the new bridge. US federal matching grants have also funded historic preservation initiatives;

306-399: A multiplier has increased the proportional role of small donors as well as the number of small donors. The programs have also helped to shift the demographic and class profile of those who give.

There is some dispute regarding

340-403: A negative effect on the perceptions the public has of the government, perhaps because public funding programs do not meet "the expectations set by reformers".

On the other side, foundations who give matching grants receive assurance of the nonprofit's capacity to raise adequate funds. Some companies facilitate

850-521: The impact of matching funds programs like the one implemented in New York City. For example, "after implementing the public matching funds program in NYC, [the] most recent mayoral election of 2009 witnessed the lowest voter turnout it's had since the 1960s".

986-468: The two main parties; as in order for a candidate to gain the benefits of matching funds, they must raise $ 5,000 from 20 states during the primaries or have received 5% of the popular vote in the general election.
