WHAT WE DO
VGA’s grants management team is the most experienced in the Omaha area. We partner with nonprofits of all sizes to win funding from diverse public and private sources – more than $25 million annually.
Our consultants become an integrated part of each nonprofit’s fundraising team. In a custom package of services for your organization, we can take on donor research, cultivation, grant writing, grant reporting, and donor stewardship.
