Technical Assistance
Our technical assistance strengthens the capacity of organizations and networks advocating for bold policies that broaden economic power and build a more equitable future for the South.
How We Can Help
Three Areas of Focus
Policy
SEAP provides policy support, advising, and resources to help leaders navigate federal, state, and local policy environments. Our support includes: analysis of federal, state, and local policy updates and trends; strategy support for policy agenda-setting and advocacy; the production of policy briefs, research, and resource guides; and webinars and training. We frequently work with local mayors, nonprofit leaders, advocacy coalitions, and regional partners.
Data
Our data offerings help to make data accessible, useful, and actionable. SEAP helps organizations access, interpret, and produce the data needed to support effective policy strategies. We also maintain public dashboards and tools designed to support community leaders, advocates, and data science professionals.
Communications
SEAP provides communications support to help organizations strengthen their messaging and public engagement. We help with: collateral or advocacy materials production; messaging and storytelling support; coaching on communications and media outreach strategies. We often partner with emerging nonprofits or grassroots groups, advocacy organizations, and state or local coalitions.
