NEOEDD provides technical assistance services for nonprofits and local governments to help organizations improve and grow. Sometimes NEOEDD has funding to provide free technical assistance services. Other times, organizations contract with NEOEDD to purchase technical assistance.
For nonprofits, this can include help for you to complete strategic planning, board development, or feasibility studies. Municipalities can request assistance for NEOEDD to administer Community Development Block Grants, provide certified payroll and procurement services; facilitate meetings and strategic planning; and collect public input and research project feasibility. Let us know what you are looking for here, and we’ll follow up with you to learn more.
We are always happy to provide free referrals to other resources and consultants to help you find what you need.
We offer periodic workshops and networking opportunities. Examples include nonprofit management, grant writing, equity building, and other topics as requested. Workshops can be in-person or virtual. We can also collaborate with your organization to help bring additional training and networking opportunities to our region.
