The team at Merchant McIntyre & Associates has more than 100 years of combined experience in federal and private grant funding, drafting and tracking legislation, securing regulatory relief, policy development and advocacy, relationship building, and mobilizing grassroots and grasstops campaigns. We have an established track record of successfully representing and advising educational and research institutions, healthcare organizations, local and state governments, social service and faith-based organizations, businesses and corporations, innovators, and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). When you retain Merchant McIntyre, you hire an entire team of seasoned professionals with decades of senior level experience gained from working in the White House, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, Executive Branch agencies, and government affairs firms. We are an extension of your own staff. We are your boots on the ground. We perform the lion's share of the work. If you have ever attended a major political event or a government hearing, we were not the people you would have seen at the microphone. We were the people in the back of the room who determined the message, wrote the speeches, and handled all of the follow up. In short, we got the work done. We know the logistics of Washington, the mechanics and timing of the process, the right doors to open, and the decision-makers to engage. We know how Washington works. As true partners, we will put Washington to work for you.
