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 help communities address capacity challenges relating to successfully writing and managing grant implementation. Technical assistance comes in three main forms: funding, services (help from people) and educational resources. Energy communities stakeholders are encouraged to plan ahead for technical assistance and funding opportunities, as the process of applying for and receiving grants may take several months.
Watch this tutorial video on how to apply for technical assistance.
