CERTs, with funding support from the McKnight Foundation, coordinates the MN Technical Assistance (TA) Collaborative, a comprehensive resource for communities to be connected with newly available energy funding opportunities, data, and other resources including entities that can provide TA support for applying to those opportunities.

The Minnesota TA Collaborative website hosts a few other resources useful for grant writing:
