Bigelow Grant Writing Services is a Wyoming based consulting firm specializing in securing funding to implement great ideas. It is a reality that many great ideas that would benefit communities, organizations and the people they serve go unrealized because funding was not available or appropriate funding partners were unaware of the need for the project or program.

Dr. Susan Bigelow has over 30 years of experience in economic development, workforce development and community college executive leadership. In these roles she has been very successful developing proposals that have secured much needed funding from federal, state and local government agencies and private foundations.

While employed by economic development organizations and the college district, Susan enjoyed working with several communities, non-profits, businesses and partner colleges on collaborative efforts. In her role as a consultant Susan is available to work with an even broader range of clients.

Recent awards:

It was my privilege to serve as the Lead Consultant on the successful application from the Wind River Development Fund to the EDA Recompete competition. Eight separate complementary applications were selected by EDA for a total award of $36 million. The lead application is a Community Development
Financial Institutions (CDFI) and partners include non-profits, a community college and a tribal business
council.

EDA Announcement: The Wind River Indigenous-based Economy Recompete Plan, led by the Wind River Development Fund, will receive approximately $36 million to catalyze an indigenous-led eco-tourism economy on the Wind River Reservation and in Fremont County, Wyoming. Persistent poverty, restricted tribal assets, and the community’s remote geography have impeded business investment and the creation of living wage jobs for residents. To tackle these barriers, the coalition proposes holistic investments in ecotourism, cultural preservation, workforce development, indigenous agriculture, health care expansion, and land sovereignty. These strategies aim to create new growth opportunities by growing the indigenous-led economy and accessing the robust tourism industry in nearby National Parks.

Recent and current clients:

  • University of Wyoming, Research and Economic Development Department, Laramie, WY
  • Silicon Couloir, a non-profit, Jackson, WY
  • Energy Capital Economic Development, Gillette, WY
