In addition to funding programs, the Fines Committee is pleased to provide two forms of technical assistance: (1) to organizations looking to develop program plans to form the basis of funding applications and (2) to organizations that have received funding and need assistance to increase capacity, improve processes, increase impact, or overcome barriers.
We are here to help you learn more about the Fines Committee funding and to help your program succeed.
