Get Assistance

Technical assistance comes in three main forms: funding, services (help from people), and educational resources.

Funding for Technical Assistance

Technical assistance funding is designed to give you money to get the help you need for writing successful grants and managing implementation. Plan ahead for technical assistance funding, as the process of applying and receiving grants may take several months. You can also watch a tutorial video on how to apply for technical assistance.
