Training and Contract Services for Nonprofits and Local Governments

NEOEDD supports nonprofit organizations and local governments by strengthening their ability to fulfill their community-based missions. Please review the services below and let us know more about your needs for training and technical assistance so we can follow-up.

Technical Assistance

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, grant writing, 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.

Grant Writing – In 2023, NEOEDD has funding to provide a limited amount of project development and grant writing services to nonprofits and public entities in our region. Follow this link to request this time-limited grant writing assistance.

We are always happy to provide free referrals to other resources and consultants to help you find what you need.

Workshops

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.
