Since 1994, our project funding support team has helped clients secure over $2.5 billion in funding for our clients.
The highest quality plan does not benefit a community until it is built and operational. Whether it’s grants or low interest loans from federal, state, or private sources – from strategy to pursuits to project closeout- we can do it for you. Our funding team regularly tracks and pursues programs that support the wide range of Bolton & Menk’s services. Our funding service is truly a demonstration of our commitment to making sure plans reach reality.
A Well-Rounded Team
We strategically developed a well-rounded project funding support team made up of planners, engineers, and technical writers that are integrated across Bolton & Menk’s services. This team model avoids missed pursuit opportunities, ensures technically sound and persuasive applications, and effectively brings this expertise together on multi-disciplinary project teams. Each member of our funding team has an in-depth understanding of programs associated with their areas of expertise. We regularly connect with funding program administrators to stay in tune with program statuses and evolving priorities.
A Creative & Comprehensive Approach
Bolton & Menk’s project funding support team is unmatched when it comes to developing and delivering complex funding plans that account for all viable opportunities considering all project components. Our in-depth understanding of the variety of programs available and eligible uses allows us to creatively allocate funds across all project elements. We “squeeze every lemon” to ease the local financial burden while delivering a project that exceeds your community’s vision.
Quality over Quantity
Our funding service prioritizes our project partnerships with clients, demonstrating our commitment to making sure plans become reality. No community or project is too big or too small to receive our priority service and commitment. Successfully navigating the intricate landscape of competitive funding sources demands a strategic approach grounded in expertise and realism.
Since 2019, our team has bundled over $500 MILLION DOLLARS OF COMPETITIVE FUNDS into multisource funding packages, delivering projects at an average local agency contribution of only 20-30%.
