What PROCEED,Inc. -National Center for Training, Support and Technical Assistance does

PROCEED, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) federally tax-exempt nonprofit community-based health and human services organization founded in 1970 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, originally as the Puerto Rican Organization for Community Education and Economic Development. It operates through six interdependent departments: Family Resources (including preschool and child abuse prevention), Health and Wellness Services (HIV/STI/Hepatitis C testing, PrEP/PEP, transitional housing), Homelessness Prevention and Employment Assistance, Utility Assistance and Home Improvement (LIHEAP, weatherization, lead remediation), Individual/Youth/Group Counseling, and the National Center for Training, Support, and Technical Assistance (NCTSTA). Approximately 15,000 Union County residents access services annually, and the organization runs three physical offices in Elizabeth and Plainfield, NJ.

The NCTSTA division delivers customized capacity building, training, and technical assistance to community-based health and human service organizations, health departments, governmental agencies, and academic institutions across the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Training is delivered through in-person instruction, web-based learning, teleconferences, communities of practice, virtual coaching, and peer mentoring, with subjects spanning health equity, curriculum development, organizational development, program implementation support, and Spanish translation services. No proprietary technology platforms, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the core technology stack is human-delivered instructional design and case management.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: competitive federal, state, and local grants (notably CDC-funded CBA for Health Equity and NJ Department of Community Affairs utility assistance programs), individual and corporate donations, and fee-for-service training packages. Direct client services such as LIHEAP and preschool are provided free to eligible residents based on income and residency guidelines. The organization is privately governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds or M&A activity.
