Helping Institutions to Identify Federal Funding Opportunities and Establish Themselves as Trusted Thought Leaders

An institution of higher education was looking to compete for both earmarked and competitive funding opportunities within the federal government and to have a seat at the table when major policy decisions were made in Washington affecting higher education. We developed a comprehensive long-term strategy that enabled the institution to develop successful funding proposals to Congress and federal agencies that resulted in a number of streams of federal funding that continue today. Additionally, we successfully positioned the institution to become a trusted resource on Capitol Hill and within the Departments of Labor and Education on issues impacting higher education.
