The Grant Farm

The Grant Farm specializes in developing and executing Public Fund Campaigns for businesses and non-profit organizations who are working to research, develop, commercialize and operate cutting edge and transformative renewable energy and conservation technologies. Our approach to this is simple. We identify appropriate funding and incentive opportunities, manage, write and assemble compelling award winning proposals, and develop, organize and execute strategic communications, lobbying, and advocacy plans. Our goal is to dramatically increase the ability of our clients to attract public investment funds, which in turn leverages additional private capital, programmatic success and, ultimately, organizational transformation. Collectively, our team members have more than 50 years of experience in public funding, strategic planning, technical writing, and project advocacy. Since 1995, we have participated in securing more than $440 million in public funds and leveraging more than $1.2 billion in additional private monies. These successes have provided funding for innovative renewable-energy, transportation, infrastructure, and conservation projects from a variety of public agencies—including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, Federal Transit Administration, California Energy Commission, California Resources Agency, CalRecycle, CAEATFA and many others. Notably, submissions by The Grant Farm to the California Energy Commission from January 2010 through March 2015 totaling more than $195 million have been successfully funded. Nearly all of these submissions received the highest scores in category. In addition, The Grant Farm has successfully earned sales tax exclusions through the California State Treasurer CAEATFA Program on 100 percent of its applications, excluding more than $285 million in equipment purchase from state sales tax.
