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
|
-

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. |
