About Sustainability Assistance
Similar to Community Resilience Projects, Sustainability Assistance is a rolling, rapid-response project that provides community-based organizations with technical assistance to meet their immediate needs. Client organizations propose Sustainability Assistance projects, and we provide up to 100 hours of subject matter expertise, research, analysis, strategic advice, and decision-making support to improve or expand client sustainability and climate action efforts.
