Proposition 68 Technical Assistance

Pursuant to Section 8008(b)(1) of Proposition 68, up to 10% of the funds available may be allocated for technical assistance to disadvantaged communities. RMC’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP) supports local communities with application assistance with the goal of facilitating access to the Conservancy’s funding programs. Technical Assistance can be applied to through RMC’s Small and Very Small Grants Programs or requested through RMC staff.

RMC’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP) supports local communities with application assistance with the goal of facilitating access to the Conservancy’s funding programs. RMC recognizes barriers to accessing resources, including: •Familiarity with RMC’s grant application process, •Appreciation of the complexity of well-designed parks, open space, and multi-benefit projects, including strategic land acquisitions, •Commitment to work with and engage the community, •Ability to successfully manage projects to completion, •Ability to successfully operate and maintain completed projects. RMC offers a TAP program to help ensure eligible grantees receive funding and successfully complete and maintain their RMC Proposition 68 projects. TAP program provides information, tools, resources, and strategies to help applicants through the stages of project conceptualization, grant initiation, grant making, and project completion. In addition to RMC staff, these resources include peer-to-peer mentoring, access to best-practices, identifying technical resources, and providing professional grant writing and facilitation services. Some TAP resources are available to all applicants; however, applicants with projects in High-Need or Very-High-Need Areas have preferential access to TAP.
