Why Choose Capitol Funding Solutions?

When it comes to competitive funding, having the right partner can make all the difference. Capitol Funding Solutions offers more than just grant writing. We deliver a full-service, strategic approach to identifying, securing, and managing funding. Whether you’re pursuing a state grant, a federal loan, or a tax credit application, we tailor our approach to meet your goals, maximize competitiveness, and support long-term growth. 

1. Full-Time Experts Dedicated to Your Success

As part of our commitment to excellence, a team is assigned and led by a full-time employee for Capitol Funding Solutions projects. While some competitors have a revolving carousel of contract writers, we are committed to providing our clients with a consistent approach to project management and proposal writing. Our writers meet regularly to refine our systems, develop new resources, and collaborate on providing the best possible experience for our clients. 

2. SCOUT: Our Proprietary Funding Opportunity Tracker

Our Strategic Planning team uses a proprietary software system called SCOUT to identify funding opportunities for our clients. When we saw federal agencies becoming less consistent and timely in their use of grants.gov and sam.gov, CFS quickly adapted by designing SCOUT to ensure that clients would not miss opportunities and to provide a competitive advantage through early identification, allowing more time to develop a quality application. As client interest in state opportunities grows, we have expanded SCOUT to be as consistent and thorough in tracking state funding programs as we are with federal programs. 

3. Beyond Grant Writing: Post-Award and Compliance Support

Given our team’s deep and diverse expertise in every facet of building and executing a competitive funding strategy, Capitol Funding Solutions added Grant Administration to our service offerings. We provide end-to-end service from identifying opportunities to pursue through the post-award administration process. If you are new to competitive awards or worried that your systems have not been reviewed for compliance recently, we can work with you to determine if you comply with uniform guidance. CFS post-award services also include project management, federal reporting, and RFP writing to comply with federal bid requirements. 

4. One Firm, Every Funding Type

Capitol Funding Solutions can help identify and write every type of competitive opportunity that requires a proposal or application to compete for funds. These include federal and state grants, contracts, and loans, tax credits that require applications, SBIRs, OTAs, and Broad Agency Announcements. While people often start the conversation with us about grants, it is not unusual for us to find that they are better suited for a different funding vehicle. We recommend an aggressive approach of pursuing all types of funding programs, but we prioritize where clients can be the most competitive and have the potential for the largest long-term revenue.  

5. Proven, successful methods to secure competitive funds

In the last three and a half years, Capitol Funding Solutions has helped clients win more than $2.5 billion in awards. They have ranged from a $2,500 foundation award to a $750,000,000 award from the Department of Commerce CHIPS program. CFS does not specialize in a particular project type or agency; our expertise is in building successful competitive funding programs.  

We believe that competitive funding should be accessible, strategic, and transformative. Whether you’re new to the process or scaling up your efforts, our team is ready to help you reach your funding goals. With a focus on long-term impact and sustained growth, CFS is the partner you can count on to navigate every stage of the funding lifecycle.
