Government relations, public affairs, and advocacy services in South Carolina
Alpha Strategies is a Columbia, South Carolina–based government relations and public affairs firm.

What We Do

Alpha Strategies provides legislative strategy, budget advocacy, policy monitoring, and stakeholder engagement services to nonprofits, corporations, and coalitions operating across South Carolina.

​

​Our work sits at the intersection of policy, public affairs, and stakeholder engagement. We help clients anticipate change, position priorities effectively, and navigate complex political environments with confidence.

 

Policy Strategy and Legislative Engagement

Policy strategy and legislative engagement involve identifying relevant legislation, mapping decision makers, and developing an approach to advance or protect organizational priorities. In South Carolina, this includes engagement with the General Assembly, committees, and legislative staff.

​

Deliverables may include bill tracking, stakeholder mapping, meeting preparation, testimony support, and legislative briefings.

​

Budget Advocacy and Funding Strategy

Budget advocacy focuses on securing funding through South Carolina’s annual appropriations process. This includes identifying opportunities for budget requests, appropriations, or earmarks and aligning funding priorities with statewide needs.

 

Deliverables may include budget tracking, funding justification materials, legislator outreach, and coordination with state agencies.

​

Policy Monitoring and Issue Tracking

Policy monitoring is the continuous review of legislative and regulatory activity that may affect an organization. In South Carolina, this includes monitoring bills, committee activity, agency rulemaking, and executive actions.

​

Deliverables may include weekly updates, alerts on emerging issues, and analysis of policy impacts.

​

Stakeholder Engagement and Coalition Building

Stakeholder engagement involves building relationships with organizations, community leaders, and partners who share policy interests. Coalition building strengthens advocacy by demonstrating broad support for legislative priorities.

 

Deliverables may include coalition coordination, shared messaging frameworks, stakeholder outreach plans, and joint advocacy efforts.
