Originally developed through the EPA Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (TCTAC) initiative, the Mountains and Plains Thriving Communities Collaborative (MaPTCC) developed a Funding and Organizational Development Training (FODT) Guide. Modules with a hyperlink in the PDF and below, were completed prior to the TCTAC termination. The hyperlink will take you directly to the module.
These self-paced learning modules were created to strengthen the capacity of community-based and environmental justice organizations in areas such as grant writing, organizational development, and partnership building. They are now shared in an open-source format to continue supporting local leaders working toward environmental health and equity. While the original project was terminated before the full curriculum could be completed, these modules represent a starting point for continued learning and collaboration.
