A world without earmarks?

Congress has moved forward in eliminating special line items known as “earmarks”. Thousands of non-profit and profit making entities have relied on these government grants for projects that would not ordinarily be funded by any federal agency without the intervention of an elected official.

Does this new policy mean that your organization will not be able to obtain discretionary funding for some worthy effort? The answer is “No.” The staff at Empire Government Strategies has been obtaining specific grants and funding for many of its clients and with great success.

Empire understands where the federal funds flow and how to access them. When you seek funding for a specific project we create an action plan and enlist the support of the key government officials who are responsible for giving out the moneys. We understand the process and have a track record of success in representing both large and small organizations, as well as state and local governments.

The death of earmarks does not mean the loss of moneys that you may have hoped to obtain. The money is still appropriated. However, it will now be the federal agencies or the states that will decide how the money is allocated, not your local Congressman. Let us work with you to achieve your goals. Empire Government Strategies can help you through these uncertain political times.
