Federal Agencies and national nonprofits are set up to assist communities with evaluating and determining which resource is available for their community needs. Two Coastal Georgia communities, Brunswick and Darien, have experienced a variety of Federal Assistance. Funding from recent legislation in the past two years focuses on identifying community needs for underserved communities. This workshop will share a number of available resources and additional technical assistance for making grant applications and identifying no-cost technical assistance. Federal agency representatives and related National Nonprofit Organization will discuss specific options.
