There’s a
grant for that.
You’re doing the work. The important work.
Of building community. Of launching dreams.
Of making change that matters.
But when it comes to finding funding— especially grants—the path can feel unclear, uncertain, and overwhelming.
That’s where we come in.
At The Van Hyfte Grant Lab, we partner with nonprofits, small businesses, government entities, and more to unlock funding through local, state, and federal grants. Led by experienced grant writer Nicole Van Hyfte, we specialize in turning great ideas into well-funded realities—with a process that’s strategic, supportive, and stress-free.

Hi, I’m Nicole Van Hyfte — founder of The Van Hyfte Grant Lab.
I’m a community champion at heart, driven by a passion for helping small businesses, nonprofits, schools, and health service organizations secure the funding they need to grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact.
Since launching The Van Hyfte Grant Lab in May 2025, I’ve had the privilege of:
💡 Serving over 80 clients across 8 states
📝 Writing over 88 grants

🔍 Completing over 30 Research Reports to fuel future success
From classrooms to clinics, I believe every mission-driven organization deserves access to the resources that make change possible. Because when we invest in education, community wellness, and local enterprise — we all win.
What sets me apart? Strategic insight, zero fluff, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in transparency, collaboration, and giving organizations the confidence to chase big opportunities — because every great idea deserves the chance to be funded.
