Grants Management - Federal, State, and Local

Blake Willson Group (BWG) delivers full life cycle, end-to-end grants management services—from pre-award planning and risk assessment through post-award monitoring, closeout, grant management system migration, and audit readiness. BWG’s Practice Leads include two industry leaders. A former Inspector General who later served as the Deputy Comptroller of DOJ’s $30B grant portfolio, co-authored the 2018 Grants Management Body of Knowledge (GMBOK) Guide, and received the 2019 NGMA Newton Award; and the former Governor’s head of Grants in both Maryland and Puerto Rico, and three-time past President of the National Grants Management Association.  

Our capabilities are grounded in deep domain expertise supporting large federal awarding agencies, including agencies such as USDA, HHS, VA, DOJ, and NSF; and state, jurisdictional, and local government entities. Our services are enhanced by our nationally recognized training programs, credentialed professionals (CPA, CGMS, CGFM, CISA, PMP), and mature infrastructure. Our Technology Solutions practice complements our professional services by offering cybersecurity, IT strategy, data management, and system modernization capabilities—ensuring that our clients’ grants and financial operations are secure, scalable, and future-ready. 

BWG’s experience and infrastructure allow us to extend these capabilities to state and local governments, helping them manage federal funds, improve compliance, and build sustainable grants management ecosystems. Whether supporting subrecipient monitoring, training and technical assistance, or grant-funded acquisition, BWG delivers the same level of rigor and innovation that has earned us exceptional SAM.gov ratings across the federal space. BWG brings a full suite of business and financial management services.
