Meet Andrea Bridgewater
Founder and Strategic Funding Consultant
Ground Zone, Inc.
If you’ve ever thought, “There must be funding out there for businesses like mine”—you’re absolutely right. And I know exactly how to find it.
I’m Andrea Bridgewater, a seasoned operations and funding strategist with over 30 years of experience leading multimillion-dollar nonprofit and business initiatives across the country. I’ve helped organizations secure millions in grants from agencies like the U.S. Department of Labor, Walmart Foundation, AmeriCorps, and dozens of state and regional sources—often under tight deadlines and tighter budgets.
Before launching Ground Zone Inc., I served as Chief Operating Officer for national and community-focused organizations, where I negotiated union contracts, saved over $1.3M in audits, led multi-state expansions, and digitized 120,000+ legal case files—while also unlocking the public funding that made those innovations possible.
At Ground Zone Inc., I bring that same strategy, discipline, and drive to your goals. Whether you’re scaling, hiring, innovating, or surviving—I’m here to help you secure the funding to do it without draining your profits.
Let’s find the dollars hiding in plain sight—and use them to grow your vision.
