Van Scoyoc Associates and FundBook Create Partnership

WASHINGTON, May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Van Scoyoc Associates Inc., Washington's foremost federal government affairs firm, has signed an exclusive partnership with FundBook LLC, an innovative online guide to finding and winning federal grants.

The exclusive partnership is the latest of several innovations Van Scoyoc Associates has taken over the past year to expand the services offered to clients and to adapt to a changing lobbying environment, said H. Stewart "Stu" Van Scoyoc, President and CEO of the firm.

"When we saw the first issues of FundBook, we knew immediately it was something our company wanted to be involved with," Mr. Van Scoyoc said.  "We think it enhances our reputation as a full-service lobbying firm, particularly for local governments, which are an increasing part of our business."

Spreading fast among local government leaders and congressional offices, The FundBook has quickly become the pre-eminent source of federal funding information for the municipal sector.  Since its inception last year, FundBook's circulation has grown dramatically.  To date, almost half of congressional offices and over 2,000 communities nationwide subscribe to the publication.

"We are excited at the prospects of partnering with such a reputable firm as Van Scoyoc Associates," said Toby Hicks, FundBook's founder and Editor.  "I think our readers are really going to benefit from the tremendous resources and staff experience made available to us through this partnership."

The publication, available free at www.fundbook.org, is designed exclusively to help cities and counties understand the federal aid that is made available to them through grants, appropriations, loans, and subsidies.  Readers can sign up for emailed releases of the monthly publication, which entitles them to other bonus materials.  

Along with its sister firms Capitol Decisions Inc. and VSConsulting Inc. – a new non-lobbying consultancy focused on helping clients expand their businesses and win federal contracts – Van Scoyoc Associates provides comprehensive services to more than 300 clients across the United States. The firms collectively represent or provide consulting to some of the nation's best companies, universities, nonprofits, and local government entities of all sizes.
