Infrastructure funding success

The opportunities are historic. So are the responsibilities.

    
Our approach

At KPMG, we are committed to creating infra-funding resources that will support infrastructure owners like you – not only in acquiring grants, but in connecting your infrastructure investments to the outcomes that your stakeholders demand, across every project phase and infrastructure delivery milestone. 

We are working with governmental and commercial entities, applying our processes and tools, to secure IIJA, IRA, CHIPS funding, capture tax incentives, and execute successful projects.

In terms of the potential impact across communities and our nation, this may be some of the most valuable work any of us ever do. Let’s do it together.
