provided through the grant will assist a wide number of
nonprofit organizations within a State, relative to the
proposed amount of the grant; and

assistance to be delivered by the intermediary nonprofit
grantee, including the qualifications of its administrators

intermediary nonprofit grantee shall provide the non-Federal
share of the cost through contributions from third parties.
The third parties may include charitable grantmaking entities
and grantmaking vehicles within existing organizations,
entities of corporate philanthropy, corporations, individual
donors, and regional, State, or local government agencies, or
other non-Federal sources.

which is described in section 4966(d)(4)(A)(i) of such Code,
or an organization which is described in section
4966(d)(4)(B) of such Code, the grantee shall provide the
non-Federal share from within that grantee's own funds.
``(iii) Maintenance of effort, prior year third-party
funding levels.--For purposes of maintaining private sector
support levels for the activities specified by this program,
a non-Federal share that includes donations by third parties
shall be composed in a way that does not decrease prior
levels of funding from the same third parties granted to the
nonprofit intermediary grantee in the preceding year.
``(g) Reservation.--Of the amount authorized to provide
financial assistance under this subtitle, there shall be made
available to carry out this section $5,000,000 for each of
fiscal years 2010 through 2014.''.
