How We Can Help

Supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Thriving Communities Network Initiative, the New England Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center supports underserved and rural/remote communities in EPA Region 1 as a resource and technical assistance hub. Our mission is to remove barriers and improve accessibility for communities facing environmental challenges.
We provide training and assistance to help organizations navigate federal and local grant systems, develop strong proposals and manage grant funding effectively. Our services include providing guidance on community engagement, facilitating meetings and offering educational courses. Our technical assistance professionals and partners create and manage communication channels to ensure all communities have direct access to vital resources and information.
