Integrating advocacy, grant writing, and communications into a single, coordinated strategy.

California's arts and entertainment industry is a cornerstone of the state's economy and carries global influence. CPRA Strategies works to keep jobs in California, bring them back, and expand the resources available to strengthen the industry.

On behalf of our clients, we have advocated for expansion of the California Film and Television Tax Credit, career readiness programs, and workforce development initiatives. We assist productions seeking tax credits and advocate for grant funding on behalf of arts and creative arts-based organizations.

Through established partnerships across the sector, we can also support productions with location scouting, connect them to trained and certified production assistants, and facilitate introductions to local labor unions.

Construction projects create real impacts on the communities and environments in which they are built. Clear, transparent, and consistent engagement with the public and key stakeholders is critical to receiving approval from governing bodies and ensuring the long-term success of any project.

Our principals have supported some of California's most significant construction projects, including a $3.5 billion airport terminal expansion, public works projects improving municipal water infrastructure, commercial solar installations, and multi-use commercial developments. We bring the same disciplined approach to projects of all sizes and complexity — including those that require careful navigation of community sensitivities.

We provide end-to-end community outreach and engagement support, including tabling events, meetings with community groups, businesses, and neighborhood associations, door-to-door outreach, public meetings and town halls, messenger identification, and print and digital materials to support your project at every stage.

Municipalities, special districts, and counties face constant pressure to deliver services with limited resources while navigating an ever-changing legislative and regulatory landscape. CPRA Strategies understands these challenges and works alongside local government clients to protect their interests and expand their capacity.

We advocate for local control in the state legislature, fight against unfunded mandates, and work to secure new resources through discretionary state budget allocations, congressionally directed spending, and competitive grants.

We also help local governments build community support for their priorities. Our team has extensive experience leading outreach initiatives that engage residents, businesses, and industry stakeholders to generate buy-in for local government projects and policy initiatives.

California is home to some of the world's most extraordinary natural resources. Visitors from across the globe come to experience these landscapes, generating billions of dollars in economic activity, supporting thousands of local jobs, and delivering critical tax revenue to rural and gateway communities. Protecting and expanding access to these resources is central to our work.

CPRA Strategies advocates for the protection of California's natural resources in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. We secure funding for land acquisition, trail maintenance, and capital improvement projects, and lead community engagement efforts for local initiatives where public input is essential to project success.

We also advocate for smart development policies that balance the need for housing and commercial growth with the preservation of the natural resources that make California's communities desirable places to live, work, and visit.

California and the federal government have placed renewed emphasis on bringing manufacturing and technology production back to the United States. The cost gap between domestic and foreign manufacturing has narrowed significantly, and the disruptions of the COVID pandemic and recent tariff volatility have exposed critical vulnerabilities in global supply chains that can no longer be ignored.

CPRA Strategies helps manufacturers re-establish operations in California by securing state tax credits and local economic development assistance. We work with the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GoBiz), local economic development corporations, elected officials, and other key stakeholders to build the political and community support needed to bring manufacturing back to local jurisdictions.

We are particularly focused on reshoring opportunities that create sustainable jobs and generate new tax revenues for cities and counties in need of economic revitalization.

A skilled, well-trained workforce is the foundation of a thriving economy. CPRA Strategies brings deep roots in California's labor community — including firsthand experience with one of the state's largest and most influential unions — to help clients navigate workforce policy and secure resources for training and hiring initiatives.

We are well-versed in the Governor's Jobs First initiative and have advocated for state budget funding to support pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs and career bridge programs. We have also secured California Competes tax credits on behalf of employers to offset the costs of training and hiring a skilled workforce.
