Government Funding and Partnerships

Active Policy Solutions helps our clients secure federal and state government funding and partnerships to support and expand their programming efforts. For example, we have:

• Secured $2 million in the FY25 Senate Appropriations Committee report for the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD). APS has been instrumental in defeating several efforts to close the NCCSD and helped it remain operational through four successful campaigns to secure its funding, securing $500,000, $2 million, and $1 million, along with the $2 million in FY25.
• Secured $400,000 in federal earmarks on behalf of Doc Wayne Youth Services in support of their world-renowned youth sports based therapy initiatives.
• Secured $500,000 in federal earmarks on behalf of the Girls on the Run International to expand their outreach efforts in Minnesota.
• Helped ensure the creation of a College Health Index tool by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention on behalf of the American College Health Association (ACHA) through FY25 appropriations report language. This tool will benefit many colleges and their students.
• Secured a federal mentoring grant of a quarter million dollars for a nonprofit organization serving youth through sports to expand their program.
• Opened new federal funding streams to support our clients through securing language to help fund their programs for students with disabilities in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
• Brokered a relationship between the USTA and the U.S Department of Education regarding efforts to provide federal funding to expand tennis in secondary schools.
• Designed a sports-based intervention strategy and secured funding for Up2Us to run obesity programs for children on Native American reservations as part of an effort to support health and wellness initiatives.
• Identified funding through the National Science Foundation to fund a STEM program provider for program development and evaluation efforts.
• Developed comprehensive funding mapping documents for a career development organization to identify and pursue new sources of government funding.
