Funding

We take pride in our depth of expertise and excellent track record in identifying, obtaining, and managing federal, state, local and foundation grants as well as other financial resources. We understand that public funding can be a crucial element for community revitalization, which is why we assist communities and nonprofit organizations with developing strategies for the use of grant funds and maximizing funding eligibility. Our record speaks for itself: We have an over 80% grant award record for funding applications for our clients.

 
Funding Identification

We’ve developed an effective method for researching and creating a funding plan of action for each identified community priority. Our team will deliver a comprehensive funding matrix that identifies critical elements of each local, state and federal funding source, and provides a recommended strategy and phasing plan to successfully piece together the resources to finance your priority projects.

Grant Writing

Our team of accomplished grant writers is committed to putting your project in front of funders in the most competitive light. We’ll work with you during the pre-application phase to confirm that your project is aligned with the prospective funding sources and establish a realistic and implementable budget. Our grant services include the outreach and development of customized support letters for your partners, community-specific data to illustrate project needs, and application development and submittal, as well as any grant specific requirements.

Grant Management

We give local governments the grant management and administration services necessary to successfully implement federal, state, and private grants. We also serve as grantee advocates, helping to negotiate through the funding award process and fulfill grant requirements to verify they are compliant. Our team will also facilitate a cooperative relationship between our clients and the funders through complete and timely reporting and full compliance with all administrative and programmatic terms and conditions. Our services include:

  • Cooperative agreement package development
  • Programmatic and financial reports
  • Reimbursement and project period extension requests
  • Scope modification requests (when required)
  • Closing out documents
