  • The History of the Matching Grant Program

    October 1, 2012

    In FY 1979, in response to an administration request, Congress initiated a matching grant (MG) program to provide assistance and services to Soviet and other non-SEA and non-Cuban refugees in the United States. [At that time, there were separate programs for Cuban and Indochinese Refugees]  Under this program, Federal funds of up to $1,000 per refugee were provided on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis to those national Voluntary Agencies, or "Volags", which were responsible for these groups of refugees.
