Over thirty-five years ago, as a former congressional and gubernatorial press secretary, John R. Bruno, the founder and CEO of Bruno Associates, recognized that many municipal and county governments did not have the resources and the capacity to effectively pursue and administer grant opportunities at the state and federal level. Mr. Bruno acknowledged the need and demand for quality and consistent professional services that enables the public sector to raise the resources essential in achieving operational and development objectives.

In 1970, John R. Bruno founded Bruno Associates, which has emerged as one of the largest and most prominent grant and organizational development consulting firms for the public, educational and nonprofit sectors. Bruno Associates has established itself as the State of New Jersey's foremost authority in resource development for municipalities, counties, public school districts, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations. With professionals who bring a wide range of public and nonprofit management experience, Bruno Associates has the ability to build the organizational and physical capacity of the public and nonprofit sector.

Today, Bruno Associates continues to grow and retain a diverse client base. Currently, Bruno Associates serves over forty (40) clients throughout and beyond the State of New Jersey.
