Grant Services
Grant Writing & Research
At CLF, we help local governments and nonprofit organizations secure the funding they need to turn ideas into action. Our team has written over $120 million in successful grant requests. Many of our clients see a return of 30 to 1 on their investment in our grant services.
Research That Drives Results
Every successful grant begins with research. We start by understanding your project’s goals, challenges, and timeline. Then we dive into public and private funding databases to find grants that match your eligibility and objectives. We consider deadlines, reporting requirements, and alignment with your mission. You’ll receive a clear, targeted list of funding sources with details on each opportunity.
Writing with Strategy and Purpose
Once a grant is identified, our team develops a strong, tailored application. We handle the full process, including:
- Crafting persuasive narratives
- Writing measurable goals and outcomes
- Creating accurate, funder-aligned budgets
- Gathering required attachments and supporting documents
We ensure that every application speaks the funder’s language and clearly shows the impact of your project.
Keeping You Ahead of the Curve
The funding landscape is always changing. That’s why we monitor trends, track new programs, and stay connected with key agencies and grantmakers. We keep you informed and ready to act when new opportunities arise.
More Than Just a Grant Writer
At CLF, we’re more than just grant writers—we’re partners in your mission. Whether you’re a city seeking infrastructure funding or a nonprofit growing a community program, we help make your vision possible through smart, strategic grant support.
Grant Management Services
CLF Enterprise provides full-cycle grant management services that help public agencies and nonprofit organizations secure, administer, and maximize the impact of federal and state funding. Our team combines legal, financial, and project management expertise to ensure that every grant is implemented in full compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance and all associated federal regulations.
Comprehensive Oversight and Compliance
We manage every stage of the grant lifecycle — from award setup and budgeting to procurement, documentation, reporting, and close-out. Our processes are built to ensure strict adherence to 2 CFR 200 requirements, including internal control systems, allowable costs, and performance accountability. By maintaining transparent records and audit-ready documentation, we help clients reduce risk, prevent findings, and maintain eligibility for future funding.
Performance Tracking with Earned Value Management
To keep projects on track and within budget, we integrate Earned Value Management (EVM) techniques that measure progress against financial and schedule benchmarks. This quantitative approach allows agencies to evaluate cost performance, forecast potential risks, and adjust proactively — ensuring that public resources are used efficiently and visibly.
Strategic Support for Federally Funded Programs
CLF Enterprise has deep experience managing grants from HUD, FEMA, USDA, TxDOT, and state infrastructure programs. Our specialists develop customized tracking tools and compliance workflows that streamline reimbursement, reporting, and performance measurement. We align project milestones with funding requirements to help communities deliver on time, on budget, and in full regulatory compliance.
Empowering Communities Through Accountability
With CLF Enterprise as your partner, communities gain a reliable ally for grant compliance, fiscal accountability, and strategic performance management. Our approach transforms public funding into tangible results — strengthening infrastructure, advancing resilience, and promoting equitable growth across Texas and beyond.
