Altrivas LLC is a private consulting company owned by Bob Hollowell. Bob brings a unique mix of skills from serving in state, Federal and local government, non-profit, and private industry roles as coach, advisor, trainer, instructional designer, auditor, administrator, program manager, and project manager.

Bob has over 50 years of experience working with teams to capture over $1 Billion in state and Federal grants and contracts and administering over $4 Billion in Federal grants.
 
The Altrivas Success System takes an integrated approach to grants. Capture should be planned well in advance of awarding agencies releasing opportunities. Projects must be developed to comply with Federal rules. Proposals must be crafted to win. Implementing a grant goes beyond managing a project. To keep on a winning cycle, pass audits successfully and keep your reputation intact you must comply with all the requirements, have internal controls in place, appropriate policies and procedures, and well vetted and managed grant partners.

Competing for grant funding has become competitive. Just like competitive contracts. Both require a structured approach to finding, competing, implementing and complying with the requirements. Altrivas helps you do these things with our success system (PREPARE, PROPOSE, and PERFORM). We prepare your team to pursue grant opportunities, craft winning proposals, and perform grant awards to comply with the multitude of requirements.

The goal is to win in the competitive arena, comply with the requirements, and be ready to win again.

Bob has over 50 years of experience working with micro-businesses to large international companies, non-profits, and local, state and federal government. Over the past 25 years Bob has excelled at capturing Federal, state and local contracts and grants; managing Federal contracts; administering grants; developing and managing compliance programs; coaching and consulting; and designing, developing and delivering training.  As an advisor, Bob has guided utilities and local governments on implementing capture protocols; win strategies for proposal development; and compliance with state and Federal rules, regulations and grant terms.
