Technical Assistance in developing your Family Support Request for Proposal (RFP) is available to support community-based nonprofit organizations and fiscally-sponsored organizations that serve communities impacted by systemic oppression and do not have the internal capacity to hire a grant writer or have staff dedicated to grant writing.
Communities Rise can provide one 45-60 minute session of free consultation with a grant writing consultant to give you feedback and editing advice on your draft proposal. Our consultants can help by explaining the application, framing of the application, brainstorming potential answers to questions, and/or editing a draft application. Please note: consultants cannot write the application.

- Serve communities impacted by systemic oppression, which includes communities of color, immigrant and refugee communities, LGBTQ communities, persons with disabilities, low-income communities;
- The organization must meet the RFP eligibility requirements.
