There’s never a good time for operational downtime — or a good time to fall short on revenue. For governments to serve their communities, they need solutions they can depend on, run by partners who understand how the public sector works.
That’s why thousands of state and local government leaders turn to Avenu. Although our name is new, our roots serving government officials go back nearly 100 years.
We’ve brought together the nation’s leaders in revenue enhancement and administration to deliver scalable solutions designed for each jurisdiction’s needs. From funding insights grounded in regional revenue trends to digital systems that streamline workflows and improve constituent experiences, our solutions are built on proven success at every level of government operation.
Today, Avenu offers more administrative and financial support to government officials than any other organization. And with a responsive, client-focused approach, we foster partnerships that give our customers the certainty they need to accomplish more.

Food insecurity threatens 1 in 6 American children. That’s why Avenue sponsored Blessings in a Backpack at Virginia’s Belmont Bay Elementary School, helping them gather meals and other resources into care packages for more than 150 students.
Providing resources, support, and shelter for at-risk and homeless youth from its headquarters in Vienna, VA, Second Story is an organization that is literally working to raise up the individuals and families who need the most support.
