Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. is a flexible and responsive boutique firm with the right balance, big enough to offer a range of policy areas and political relationships, yet small enough to provide customized and personal service and attention to each and every client. The services we offer are broadly divided into four areas.

Intergovernmental Public Sector Funding Advocacy
We research, identify, and even develop, and then secure local, state, and federal public sector funding for the capital development and on-going operations of "legacy projects" such as libraries, parks, recreational centers, museums, and numerous infrastructure related projects such as transit, water, and waste-water systems. Depending on our clients' needs, this could mean everything from researching competitive and discretionary grant opportunities, developing new ones where none before existed or shaping developing ones to accommodate our clients' needs, educating decision-makers on the needs of the project and the availability of public funds, identifying partners and matching funds, preparing and submitting formal requests and grants, and shepherding such requests and grants throughout their respective processes to successful conclusion, and then ensuring expedited and flexible disbursement of funds.

California State Legislative & Regulatory Advocacy
Though the Internet has become a powerful tracking tool, the constant stream of legislation moving through the halls of government can prove difficult to manage without dedicated staffing, constant attention, and a ubiquitous presence in the key committee meetings and behind-closed-doors meetings. It is even more challenging to have a true impact on the outcome of legislation without these resources. Through Townsend Public Affairs, Inc., strategic partners, and elected official contacts, we are uniquely positioned to monitor priority legislation, help craft policy positions, and implement tactical strategies to achieve specific results.

Government Procurements & Entitlements
Whether you need a state government contract or a local government planning approval, our team has extensive experience to help you navigate the halls of government to the ultimate objective. TPA maintains strong relationships with various state agencies, and has experience coordinating procurement efforts with legislative allies. At the local level, in the areas where we have strong regional relationships, we are able to help ensure that our clients receive utmost consideration for the contract and entitlement needs.

Strategic Intergovernmental Relations, Political, Media And Communications Consulting
Through our strong network of elected officials at the local, state, and federal level, TPA is uniquely positioned to help its clients and their strategic networks proactively engage with the constantly changing political and policy landscapes. In this era of term limits, TPA's engagement with local government has become even more important as today's water board member could be tomorrow's state senator or congressional representative.
