What do the following organizations have in common?
• Local governments
• Hospitals and medical centers
• Colleges, universities, school districts and other educational institutions
• Research institutions
• More nonprofits
At least these three things:
First, all of them work to improve our world;
Second, the U.S. Congress spends billions of dollars each year to fund their projects and programs;
Third, since 1994 Russ Reid has helped our clients in these fields secure millions of dollars for their priorities through congressional line-item earmark funding. Consider:
- A village in Illinois secured over $7 million for street and wastewater infrastructure improvements, bridge construction, and law enforcement technology.
- A county in Maine garnered more than $1.3 million for emergency communications technology and a rural transit program.
- A hospital in Arkansas received $1.1 million to fund construction, renovation and equipment for a new patient center, including new digital mammography equipment.
- A public college in Florida secured $1.4 million for facilities and a learning center.
- A private college in California was awarded $2.7 million for science, math and nursing facilities, equipment and programs.
- A social service organization in Michigan and Ohio that helps adolescents secured $3.9 million to expand facilities and programs.
We’ve provided case studies for you to explore these and other successes in detail. Please click on Proof Positive below.
Line-item earmarks are non-competitive grants designated by the Congress within the 12 annual appropriations bills that fund worthy projects and programs. Because most organizations don’t know they qualify for these funds, they never ask for them.
That’s where we come in.
As your staff in Washington, D.C. we’ll position your projects for maximum congressional earmark funding. As former congressional staffers, we have extensive experience in the appropriations process, and can position your projects to earn a place among your delegation’s top priorities.
