State and Federal Funding
Grant Assistance
Businesses and non-profit service providers work daily to build a better future for their
communities. Whether investments that provide funding to small businesses seeking to get off
the ground, state and local governments to provide services to their constituents, or creating jobs
that invest in people, healthcare, renewable energy, and emerging technologies, access to capital
remains the critical component.
There are multiple avenues to seek out federal, state, and private grants, but navigating the
process can be intimidating. Phillips Consulting Group is here to help you cut through the red
tape to find grant funding opportunities for you to pursue. With extensive experience in helping
organizations pursue funding, we will guide you at every step of the process to seek out funding
streams and make your application more competitive.
