From idea to award
Public funding is rarely just about finding an open application. The strongest pursuits begin by evaluating whether a project fits the program, understanding what funders are trying to accomplish, and building the partnerships and support needed to compete.
Our team works with clients from initial strategy through award and implementation.
- 01
Find the right fit
We assess the project, identify potential grants, appropriations, incentives, capital programs, and other public funding sources, and help clients decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
- 02
Build the project around the opportunity
A competitive project may require partners, matching funds, government support, community participation, or a strong commercialization strategy. We help build the coalition, engage stakeholders, secure letters of support, and strengthen the project before submission.
- 03
Develop the application
We coordinate the funding pursuit from strategy through submission, working with technical experts and project partners to translate complex ideas into a clear, compelling case for investment.
- 04
Manage the award
Our involvement does not have to end when funding is secured. We can support award negotiations, initial reporting, compliance, partner coordination, and ongoing grant administration.
Infrastructure and communities
We help municipalities, nonprofits, institutions, and developers pursue funding for infrastructure, facilities, community development, workforce initiatives, and other public priorities.
Research, innovation, and manufacturing
We work with companies and research organizations developing new products, materials, and technologies, helping move projects from research and demonstration toward commercialization and manufacturing.
Energy and major projects
Large energy and industrial projects often require multiple sources of public support. We help clients identify programs, structure partnerships, coordinate stakeholders, and assemble funding strategies around complex capital investments.
Federal, state and local, and European programs
Grants, appropriations, and agency programs
Competitive grants, congressional appropriations, research and demonstration programs, infrastructure funding, workforce initiatives, and other federal resources.
State and local
State capital budgets, agency grants, economic development incentives, tax credits, infrastructure programs, workforce support, and locally administered resources.
European
European Union and national funding programs supporting research, clean technology, advanced manufacturing, commercialization, and major industrial investment.
A group approach to public funding
Successful funding pursuits often require more than grant-writing expertise.
A manufacturing project may need economic development incentives. A federal grant may depend on congressional or agency engagement. An innovation project may require commercial partners and a stronger market strategy before it is ready to compete.
Public Funding & Grants therefore draws on staff from across LNE Group. Our funding professionals regularly work alongside colleagues in Federal Affairs, State Government Relations, Strategic Advisory, Economic Development, and Business Development to assemble the right team around each project.
That integrated approach allows us to help clients not only identify funding but strengthen the underlying project.
