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, with a passion for helping small businesses, nonprofits, and local leaders secure the funding they need to grow, thrive, and make a difference.
In 2024 alone, I helped bring in over $1 million for local organizations — but for me, it’s never just about the dollars. It’s about what those dollars do: open new doors, keep vital services running, and bring big ideas to life.
What sets me apart? Strategic insight, zero fluff, and a true investment in every client’s success. I believe in transparency, collaboration, and giving communities the tools to dream bigger.
Whether you’re a small business ready to expand, a nonprofit launching something new, or a civic leader with a bold vision — I’m here to help you make it happen.
