I agree that this may be a misunderstanding.

Federal grant proposals require budgets that outline how you intend to spend those dollars along with text describing those line items. Some of this can be extremely detailed. These agencies have a lot of restrictions so yes, other sources are required in many cases.

Then as you spend those funds many of these grants will require monthly or quarterly (or even more frequent) text and budget updates.

Granted I didn't see the budget breakdown, just the total and what I saw spent. Could have been salaries towards people whose work was invisible to me but still important to the grant.
