Proposition 68 Technical Assistance

The San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) is offering technical‑assistance grants under Proposition 68 to help disadvantaged communities navigate RMC’s grant programs. The Technical Assistance Program (TAP) provides guidance, tools, peer mentoring, and professional grant‑writing services to eligible nonprofit, public agency, or tribal applicants whose projects fall within RMC’s funding area. Funding is state‑sourced, with a total pool of $531,000, and awards are “dependent” on application volume. A letter of intent is required; matched funding is not. • Eligible applicants: nonprofit 501(c)(3)s, public agencies (city, county, water, school districts), tribal governments, joint powers authorities, and certified local conservation corps. • Projects must be located in the RMC‑defined funding area and benefit disadvantaged communities. • Technical assistance covers all grant phases—from concept and application to project completion and maintenance. • Total available funding: $531,000; number and size of awards not predetermined. • Application requires a Letter of Intent; no matching funds required. • Funding delivered via advances and reimbursements. • Award announced “upon Board approval.” • No specific submission deadline or project‑duration length disclosed.
