As a full-service government relations consulting firm, we will engage all our capabilities in service of the City, including: Sourcing of Additional Funding Programs Full engagement with the City and all of its departments will undoubtedly uncover projects, perhaps on a smaller scale, that are well-positioned for funding from sources that are often overlooked. TPA will work closely with staff to determine projects and funding sources. Federal Funding Requests In addition to our successful track record in seeking state funding, Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. has also secured funding from federal sources that have greatly benefited our clients. Relying on the support of local congressional champions, TPA has specifically targeted various earmarks in through the federal budget process. TPA will assist in identifying appropriate funding sources for City projects through federal channels.
