Grant/Loan Application Services

Knowledge alone does not solve anything. ENTRUST brings its industry-leading experience in the funding arena to the table—and then custom molds it to your specific needs. Every grant application starts with a clear understanding of the project objectives and budget. Our program application services are built on flexible yet repeatable processes that have helped our clients win hundreds of millions of dollars in project funding from a wide range of state and federal agencies.

Once program decisions are made, ENTRUST schedules a comprehensive kickoff with your team to share processes, chart milestones, and assign appropriate resources to ensure everyone on your team is comfortable and ready to proceed. Although meaningful engagement is necessary, our goal is to minimize impact across your organization so as not to disrupt your day-to-day workflows. Our team will provide you with a clear timeline to complete a comprehensive application package, which will include development of a sound budget approved by your financial leadership.

As with all things, it is important to start well. The funding program kickoff includes a review of application requirements, establishment of a “to-do” list – both for our team and yours – and an introduction to program management tools like Basecamp and SharePoint through which our teams will collaborate for a successful application. 

Unfortunately, Funding program applications are not simple – and they are getting more complex with each program state and federal governments release. That is why ENTRUST believes success for your organization depends on the establishment of a precise application timeline and comprehensive list of documents and deliverables as early as possible in the application development process. By collaborating with your team on these things that define your application’s critical path, we can collectively eliminate time-consuming misunderstandings or missteps that could potentially delay application submission.

It is important for your team to clearly understand the funding application deliverables, as highlighted in the kickoff meeting. We will work directly with the key team members you assign and do our best to prevent applications tasks from being a burden on your organization’s day-to-day operations. ENTRUST’s goal is to shoulder as much of the application load as possible and make your life easier.

ENTRUST will tailor our proven funding application processes to fit both your organization’s needs and the requirements of selected opportunities. Our vast experience developing application packages for all types of infrastructure projects will guide the process and help you clearly understand which members of your team will need to plug in at the appropriate points in the program cycle.

A foundational aspect of any project is the budget. And it is no different when there is a funding program application involved. The budget informs everything from the overall cost of the project – including grant or loan amounts and any required cost share – through the organization’s cash flow, to the bill of materials, project objectives, environmental clearance costs, and the project execution timeline. Getting the budget right as early as possible is crucial and ENTRUST leadership will work with your team members to ensure the numbers work for you.
