McAllister & Quinn provides Federal grant consulting for hospitals and health systems seeking external funding for priorities such as telehealth, health workforce development, community health, and infrastructure.
We have a proven record of helping healthcare clients proactively identify, pursue and obtain Federal funding for these key initiatives. We accomplish this by gaining insights into an institution’s strengths and strategic goals. McAllister & Quinn then maps out specific Federal and foundation grant opportunities into a funding matrix. Once grant targets are identified, McAllister & Quinn assigns a project manager to work with a writing team drawn from a nationwide network of grant writing professionals to write and submit the grant to the Federal agency or foundation. McAllister & Quinn also provides health care clients with actionable intelligence on Federal agency priorities, including relief to assist health providers recover from the COVID-19 crisis. We also provide timely, targeted healthcare policy and business impact analysis.
