302(b) Strategies is a Washington D.C.-based public affairs and lobbying firm that helps nonprofits, public agencies, and mission-driven organizations secure federal funding and advance policy priorities in Congress.

Founded by a former congressional appropriations staffer with more than five years of experience working directly for Members on the Appropriations Committee, we bring insider knowledge of how federal dollars actually move—from authorization and appropriations through agency implementation.

We specialize in:

• Positioning client priorities for bipartisan support in the appropriations process

• Securing community project funding and earmarks for municipalities and organizations

• Navigating federal agencies and translating complex budget processes into actionable strategy

• Building and leveraging relationships on Capitol Hill that deliver results

Our approach is practical, relationship-driven, and grounded in legislative reality. We understand both the process and the people—and we know how to help clients who depend on federal investment achieve their goals.
