Federal Funding Agency Technical Assistance
Federal grants are among the most competitive and most rewarding, funding sources available to nonprofits. RDB Consulting guides organizations through every stage of the federal application process, from identifying the right opportunities to submitting proposals that meet agency standards.
What We Do — Service Cards
Opportunity Identification
We identify federal funding sources aligned with your organization's mission, population served, and program focus — before you spend time writing.

Who this is for
Federal funding is available to nonprofits, health organizations, faith-based agencies, and community development groups — but the application process is complex, competitive, and unforgiving of errors. Many organizations miss opportunities simply because they lack the internal capacity to navigate federal requirements.
RDB Consulting brings direct federal grant experience across health promotion, substance abuse prevention, education, and community services. We’ve developed and submitted successful federal applications to HRSA, the U.S. Department of Education, and other federal agencies on behalf of organizations serving medically underserved and low-income populations in Chicago and Detroit.
