For your information there are two types of matching grants, general and rural, described following.

General Matching Grants. Public and private, urban and rural organizations involved in EMS are eligible for matching grant funds whereby the state pays 75 percent of approved budgets and the grantee pays 25 percent.

Rural Matching Grants. Public and private organizations involved in EMS which are based in and provide services for counties with a population of 100,000 or fewer people and a population density of less than a 100 per square mile are eligible for rural matching grants whereby the state pays 90 percent of approved budgets and the grantee pays 10 percent.

Booklet and Form. There is only one grant booklet and form for both the General and Rural matching grants. The application form differentiates between them when the applicant checks a box at the top of the form to indicate the application is for either a Rural or (General) Matching grant. Click your mouse on the following link to access the booklet and form. The June 2002 edition is still in use.
