Humboldt California Foundation - TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION

Non Profits

Application Process
Prior to applying for TAP, Nonprofits should contact the consultant of their choice to discuss their needs. If you need a list of qualified consultants to choose from, please ask Resource Center Staff. Please submit a proposal from the consultant you plan to work with including expected hours, rate and scope of work. If you would like to work with a consultant unfamiliar to the Foundation we will request materials that will allow us to review the qualifications of the consultant. We typically require that consultants hired with TAP funds have a minimum of five years of experience and professional training/education in the area in which they are consulting.

Applications are due on the first day of each month. TAP selections will be made through a competitive process. Each application will be evaluated by the TAP selection committee based on the following criteria:

Need of the organization
Impact of the assistance on the organization and its constituents
Ability of the organization to take maximum advantage of the assistance
Appropriateness of the assistance requested and/or the assistance provider

Priority will be given to:

Organizations providing safety net services
Organizations whose services impact large numbers of people locally

Areas of assistance covered by TAP may include (but are not limited to):

Strategic planning

We encourage applicants to discuss their technical assistance needs with Resource Center Staff before submitting an application. TAP will not fund activities commencing prior to award approval.
