Missouri Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) FAQs

What type of assistance does RC&D provide to a project?

RC&Ds identify agencies or organizations that can assist in completing each step of a project plan, serves as sources of technical assistance, and provides financial resources, if needed, and as possible. RC&D areas provide the vehicle for achieving a goal and completing projects. However, a project is not an "RC&D project" in the sense that an RC&D Council does everything. Local leadership and support are key elements for any successful project.

Types of assistance available include:

  • identifying potential funding sources

  • writing grants

  • serving as a conduit for "pass-through" grants

  • helping with grant administration

  • organizing events

  • hiring multi-county employees

  • conducting tours and educational events

  • serving as an umbrella organization for new non-profits and foundations

  • coordinating technical assistance

  • conducting research

  • coordinating mailings

  • conducting information campaigns

The amount and kind of assistance depends on the type of project and the local Council's wishes.
