Technical Assistance (TA) is individualized support for eligible applicants to apply for and use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant funding. Through EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights (OEJECR), funding has been made available to eligible entities to receive TA through all stages of the Community Change Grants Process.
All conversations with your Technical Assistance Provider are confidential and will not be shared with EPA.
- Technical Assistance providers cannot write your application for you.
- Technical Assistance does not guarantee your project will be funded by the EPA.
- Expertise provided by engineers, budget and grant experts, and others, who can walk with you through the application process and offer support in capacity building, project planning, implementation, reporting, and more.
- Once you are approved to receive TA, EnDyna will match you with a Lead Technical Assistance Provider (LTP) and work with you to determine the types of experts you will need to put your application together.
