Pre-Application Technical Assistance (TA)
In preparation for Round 5, TA providers provided Pre-Application Technical Assistance to potential applicants through workshops, tailored resources, and other guidance from October 2022 to March 2023, with the aim of helping applicants prepare competitive Round 5 applications in early 2023.
Pre-Application Intake Survey
The TA providers had a brief intake survey to connect potential applicants to the relevant assistance. This form is now closed. For the Round 5 Application, please fill out the Application Initiation Form.
Recordings of Previous Workshops & Links to Accompanying Materials
TCC staff and the TCC Technical Assistance providers hosted three introductory TCC workshops in October and November 2022 and six topically focused workshops in January, February, and March 2023 to inform prospective applicants about the TCC Program Framework, Application Process, and Technical Assistance opportunities, and to share advice from successful applicants.
To accompany the topically focused Pre-Application workshops that took place in January, February, and early March, the TA providers created resource guides to provide an overview of the Application process and aid applicants. Please note: The TA providers created these guides before SGC published the Final Guidelines. In any case in which the information in the Final Guidelines contradicts the information in a resource guide, refer to the information in the Final Guidelines. Official documents prepared by SGC, such as the Final Guidelines, supersede the resource guides.

Application Technical Assistance
All applicants to the TCC Implementation Grants are required to work with no-cost technical assistance, provided by the SGC. This technical assistance is provided to support TCC applicants in the development of their project scope, calculation of greenhouse gas emissions, and developing a complete application.
The technical assistance provider will work with each TCC Implementation Grant applicant to create a work plan for the development of their TCC application. The technical assistance provider will be able to provide supportive services, including but not limited to:
- Review of application responses
- Application coordination
- Financial analysis and budget development
- Support for project integration
- Assessment of project readiness
All TCC Implementation Grant applicants will have greenhouse gas calculation services provided by the technical assistance provider. Applicants will be asked to submit data to the technical assistance provider to provide a comprehensive calculation of reductions. Leading up to this calculation, the technical assistance provider will work with applicants to understand the relative greenhouse gas reduction potential of projects and offer suggestions for increasing project reductions.
Implementation Technical Assistance
A limited amount of funds may be available to TCC Grantees once they enter the grant execution phase. Implementation TA activities are unique to the Grantees' needs at the start of implementation.
Program Evaluation Technical Assistance
TCC Implementation Grantees must select an Evaluation Technical Assistance provider that meets the minimum qualifications and is approved by SGC. The Evaluation Provide will evaluate the Project Area Site overall and all of the TCC funded projects for the duration of the grant term.
