Under the  Public Assistance Program, the Federal  government is responsible for supplementing the efforts and  available resources of State and local governments when the President declares a disaster or emergency. Because funding provided by the program is supplementary in nature, an appropriate sharing of costs between the Federal and State governments must be determined. This Cost Share is outlined in the FEMA-State Agreement.

While the cost share  is subject to change depending on the severity of a disaster,  the minimum Federal  cost share  is 75 percent of eligible costs. The State Grantee determines the distribution of the non-Federal share. All applicants, including Private Nonprofit organizations, are subject to the cost share outlined in the FEMA-State Agreement.
