How we can help
Our support varies in scope and scale depending on community needs. Most of our services can be categorized into two focus areas:
Custom Support
Every community and organization addressing environmental and energy equity challenges has unique and evolving needs. Our program managers, community program coordinators, and partners can support these needs by providing resources and connections.
Examples of our support services:
✓ Help you establish a nonprofit organization with official 501(c)(3) designation
✓ Assistance finding the right grant for your community project
✓ Host a virtual or in-person needs assessment for your community
✓ Build a project budget with you
✓ Connect you with environmental organizations across the region to support coalition-building and partnership development
✓ Support on engagement with government processes and navigating federal systems such as Grants.gov and SAM.gov.
✓ And more!
Training
We develop customized training for communities based on their unique needs or provide tools, templates, and resources to help communities maximize existing training opportunities. We connect communities to our training materials and help them apply their knowledge to real-time issues and projects.
Examples of our training services:
✓ Host a virtual or in-person training for your team on various topics including: navigating and applying for grants, environmental justice concepts, environmental project design basics, community needs assessments, and more.
✓ Let us know what topics you are seeking assistance with, and we will curate a custom resource hub for your organization, with information on how to leverage these resources for progress on your environmental and energy projects.
✓ Have a one-on-one conversation with one of our community program coordinators to help you identify what training could be developed or provided based on your specific community needs.
Not sure how we can help you? Not sure what help you need? No problem.
We can help identify the challenges that your community faces. Even if your environmental and energy initiatives are outside the scope of what the Heartland EJ Center can support, we can provide you with external resources and connect you with organizations that may be able to help.
