OneRural Technical Assistance Opportunities for 2026
For Current Participants in HAC’s Rural Capacity Building Program, Round 4 and Round 5
HAC is pleased to offer three new technical assistance opportunities designed to strengthen internal capacity, support long term planning, and help rural organizations operate with greater clarity and confidence. These opportunities are open only to current participants in HAC’s Rural Capacity Building Program, Round 4 and Round 5.
Each project focuses on a different aspect of organizational readiness. The goal is to give your team practical tools that support strong decision making, improve internal systems, and position your organization for long term success. We encourage you to review all three and consider which one best aligns with your goals for the coming year.
The deadline to apply for all opportunities is December 31.
