Get It! State Match School Facility Program Grant Applications

How to Get State Match Money!

To get State Match funds, each project needs various approvals from the California Department of Education (CDE) before an actual funding application can be submitted to the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC). The Get It staff works with the project managers to collect, calculate, and create the mounds of documents needed to achieve approvals for each part of the processes. Many times the deadlines are intense.

  • For New Construction, the State matches funds 50/50 with the District (within all sorts of limits.)

  • For Modernizations, the State portion/District portion are 60/40 (again within all sorts of limits.

Please check the links below to find the right form(s) to use. Please contact your Sr. PM for training beyond the periodically scheduled group sessions.


After reviewing 1) the CDE and OPSC website information; and 2) the FGF Forms linked to this page, and then 3) discussing your data with your Sr.PM, please contact the FGF Get It staff contact person listed below by type of application.
