In order to build movement infrastructure and capacity, RESIST will award current grantees up to $500 to participate in technical assistance opportunities. This resource is for groups seeking help with training, consultation, or restructuring as they lay the groundwork to become stronger, dynamic organizations. Assistance may include, but is not limited to: board and staff development, fundraising, fiscal management, computer and software training, Internet activism, strategic planning and basic organizing skills.

These funds will only be available to grantees who have been funded at least twice within the last five years. Funds will be dispersed on a first come-first serve basis each quarter. Training must occur within 3-5 months of the TA grant award.

In order to help grantees find training opportunities in their area, RESIST has developed a Guide to Technical Assistance, which is posted on our web page at www.resistinc.org. This guide is a continually evolving work-in-progress, and not the last word on technical assistance!
