Since 2007, The McLeod Group has helped rural organizations secure more than $25 million — and the list below isn’t a scrapbook of one-time wins. It’s the record of organizations that win, steward their awards well, and win again — year after year, cycle after cycle. Awards range from small ($5K–$25K) to medium ($50K–$500K) to the very large ($1M+), because we work on every front for our clients — not a “one and done” grant at a time.
KDHE recently used an RHTP application we wrote as its example of a high-scoring submission in the Year 2 applicant webinar.
Results
The organizations that hired us in 2007 are still clients today.

The best part of all is that Mr. [McLeod] knows our hospital well and has a local presence. It is nice to have a consultant who is proactive and brings me opportunities that I never know are available. You cannot go wrong when The McLeod Group is a part of your team!"

Through Nick's effort and skill, we were successful in receiving a planning grant, an implementation grant, and a continuation grant. Nick is very thorough, thinks of great questions, anticipates questions from grant sources, writes skillfully, and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him and his services to anyone."
