Experience

Over a Decade of Experience

In business since 2007, we have over a decade of grants writing experience and successes.  Our oldest clients have been with us since the beginning and continue to receive consistent grant awards.  We have successfully assisted in obtaining well over $10 million in awards for rural agencies. 

Sampling of Recent Grants Awarded

Here you will find a continuously updated sampling of recent grants acquired by The McLeod Group.

*Please note the awards range from small ($5k-$25K) to medium ($50k-$500k) to the very large ($500k+).  We work on all fronts for your organization, not just targeting a “one and done” grant attitude.

Cultivating good relationships and a strong organizational image for your agency is an important factor with The McLeod Group.  As an example, on September 1st, 2020 Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt had this to say about one of our JAG grant applications:  “it would, on its face, strike me as on all fours with what we’ve been looking at and suitable for a green mark . . .” (KS JAG Award Meeting 2020).
