THE FOLLOWING IS A VAN HYFTE GRANT LAB RELEASE
The Van Hyfte Grant Lab, a Vermilion County–based grant writing and funding strategy firm founded by Nicole Van Hyfte, is celebrating its six-month anniversary with impressive results and a special giveaway for clients and supporters.
Since opening its doors in May 2025, The Van Hyfte Grant Lab has partnered with more than 80 clients across eight states, written 88 grants, completed 30 Research Reports, and helped organizations secure more than $312,000 in funding.
To celebrate this milestone, the Lab has launched a $600 Grant Strategy Giveaway, designed to give one lucky winner a boost toward their 2026 funding goals.
Participants can earn up to two entries by:
● Purchasing a Research Report, a tailored list of grant opportunities matched to an organization’s needs, or
● Making a donation to the Granting Hope Fund, which helps provide free or low-cost grant writing services to local nonprofits.
Both actions completed by December 31, 2025 will qualify for the drawing, with winners announced in early January 2026.
“Our first six months have been full of impact, collaboration, and growth,” said founder Nicole Van Hyfte. “The Granting Hope Fund is our way of paying it forward — ensuring every nonprofit, no matter their budget, has access to high-quality funding support. This giveaway is a celebration of that mission.”

The Van Hyfte Grant Lab is proudly woman-owned and driven by mission, strategy, and impact.
