To be eligible for assistance, a group must to be:

• a multi-issue local, state or regional nonprofit that spends at least 10% of its resources on environmental issues
• an environmental justice or environmental activist organization
• a network or coalition of environmental justice and environmental activist groups

Organizations do not need 501c3 tax-exempt status to be eligible for TOA support.

In addition, we are particularly interested in supporting organizations that

• serve low-income people and people of color
• have limited resources (generally budgets under $250,000)

Our ability to provide funding can be affected by how much money we may have available for specific geographic regions.
