The Strategic Response Team (SRT) launched in the wake of COVID19 to provide a rapid, informed, and coordinated approach to assessing community need and quickly allocating dollars to the areas of greatest need. Soon afterwards, the SRT spun out a Technical Assistance Working Group to ensure area non-profit organizations have the specialized resources, information, and support they need to continue operations and respond to rapidly changing community needs. The TA Working Group is a community collaboration consisting of representatives from funding organizations, local government, grassroots community organizations, health networks, community health and nonprofit organizations who bring their varied perspectives to the table to create the most effective impact.
 
The Technical Assistance Team is comprised of 5 subcommittees: Accounting & Finance; Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion; Health & Safety; Mapping; Nonprofit Resources; and PPE.
