About this opportunity
The Technical Assistance and Training Grant Program is seeking applicants to provide technical assistance and training to rural communities to identify and evaluate solutions to water and waste problems. Eligible applicants are private nonprofit organizations that can assist in preparing loan and grant applications and improving facility management. The Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service will evaluate applications based on experience, resources, project duration and location, needs assessment, work plan, and sustainability approach. Applications are due by December 31, 2023.
Approximately $37.5 million is expected to be available for award in June 2024 to support projects lasting one year. Funded projects will provide services to rural communities across the United States to address water and waste disposal challenges. Priority may be given to projects assisting economically distressed areas or reducing climate impacts.
