The Plan for Social Excellence - Technical Assistance Technical Assistance Along with awarding grants to support innovative projects in education, Plan for Social Excellence, Inc. also provides technical assistance to grantees and to other educational organizations.
Technical assistance takes many forms.
It includes providing a grantee with information and resources to support or enhance the project s goals. The Plan s staff conducts regular site visits of all projects and often identifies additional funding sources for grantees once the Plan s support has ended. Technical assistance also comes in the form of a thorough project evaluation and the writing and dissemination of monographs and videotapes about successful educational innovations. Prospective grantees are assisted with writing clear and concise proposals. Along with funding from the Project, the Plan assisted the district in securing matching funds from other foundations, corporations, and community leaders.
