Are you trying to build a community project?
Once you sign up, we ask you to provide detailed information related to your project type, project activities conducted, your project size, goals, and the impacted community.
Based on your project details, we assign you a case manager to match you with grants, tools, and technical assistance providers with specialized expertise and documentation to advance your project.
Once you begin your journey in the center and move forward with project activities, you are connected with a community of other project sponsors working on similar projects, communities from your region, and additional supporters including vendors, agencies, and philanthropy.
A project sponsor is an individual within an organization who is the primary driver of a project. Your organization might be a non-profit, municipality, county, tribal nation, for-profit entity, university, community-based organization, or one many other project champions. While the final project implementation body may be different as the project matures, you are a project sponsor if you are supporting the development of a project and are seeking support.
This service is completely free for sponsors and providers to join. The development of this program has been funded through Philanthropy and the Economic Development Administration.
