Project Funding

We know how to get funding

There is money out there - lots of it. And Prosody can Help you Get it.

Securing funding for a major project is rarely straightforward—it’s not always clear where the money comes from, or how to access it. Even once you know the funding options, the real challenge is executing the plan to bring that capital to life. Navigating this complex process requires expertise, strategy, and a deep understanding of how to align financial resources with your project goals. As your trusted consultant, we guide you through every step, from identifying funding sources to executing a successful plan that ensures your project’s success.

Process

Prosody handles every step for you—research, writing, documentation, and submission—managing the entire complex process from start to finish.

Securing funding is a multi-discipline effort that takes months, but we do it all in-house to ensure efficiency and success. We craft a compelling story and back it up with the numbers that make your case undeniable.

Phase 1
Assessment

Assessment involves gathering key project details from the client, such as location, capital investment, job creation/retention, employee benefits, and business plans. We then research available funded benefit programs and conduct initial outreach to clarify potential incentives. Through detailed analytics, we assess program fit, identify gaps, and, for multi-jurisdictional projects, provide a comparative benefits grid. The result is a comprehensive decision support deliverable that prepares the project for the execution phase.

Phase 2
Execution

Execution involves updating the projected incentive pro forma to align with the project's financials, managing federal, state, and local outreach efforts, leading negotiations, and handling all documentation, presentations, and required filings. We provide comprehensive support to secure the necessary incentives and financing packages.

Phase 3
Compliance

Compliance focuses on developing and executing processes to ensure the realization of benefits throughout the benefit period. This includes creating a detailed compliance manual, managing necessary filings and documents, and maintaining key federal, state, and local relationships.
