Provide Technical Assistance
The Measure A Technical Assistance Program (TAP) provides grantmaking information, training, technical resources, and curated professional consulting services (reserved for communities in Study Areas with High or Very High Park Need). These resources are meant to help develop new park concepts for the Measure A competitive grant categories.
Successful park projects are needed in all our communities. It is valuable to have the active participation of the community, other infrastructure investment programs, non-profits, community-based organizations, private sector business, and mission-focused philanthropic organizations. We encourage the active participation and collaboration with all community, public, and private entities who are interested in strengthening our parks and open space.
