Meet All State Strategies: Your Partner in Government Success

About All State Strategies LLC

At All State Strategies, our primary metric of success is the funding we deliver to our clients. We have helped businesses, non-profits, and agricultural producers win more than $20 million in grant funding, achieving a win rate as high as 98% during active USDA funding cycles.

Navigating public sector funding requires more than basic grant writing—it takes deep institutional knowledge. Our team brings extensive, hands-on experience across major federal and state programs, including USDA Rural Development’s REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) and Rural Business Development Grant programs, the USDA Value-Added Producer Grant, and FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant. We understand the nuances of each granting agency, giving our clients a distinct competitive advantage.

95% Overall Win Rate: Delivering reliable results across changing political landscapes and competitive funding environments.

Whether you are looking to offset renewable energy costs, expand business operations, or secure critical community resources, All State Strategies provides a partner who knows exactly what agencies are looking for—and how to get your project across the finish line.

What We Do

We are a public affairs firm dedicated to leveling the playing field for businesses, non-profits, and organizations when dealing with the government.
