Navigating the Grant Funding Process

Positioning for success from project identification through implementation.

The grant funding process is highly competitive. With numerous state agencies and municipalities facing unprecedented challenges in advancing critical infrastructure projects, many are contending for the same limited funding opportunities.

Our funding readiness approach is based on a holistic and inclusive planning process rooted in our comprehensive knowledge of funding priorities and criteria. We help clients to increase the competitiveness of their applications and better position their projects for success.

  • Funding Needs Analysis—Identification of key projects and funding requirements
  • Capital Improvement Plan Audit—Project identification
