Hi!
We are Wfvn
We are a nonprofit consultancy that provides strategic support to mission-driven organizations serving the Greater New Haven area.
One of the biggest hurdles faced by (particularly small) organizations, is reliable securing of funding. Many times, this may come from grants, which requires a heavy effort of researching, identification, writing, application, and securing for each one of them. Given the limited work capacity of local non-profits, it may not always be possible to have employees specifically hired to focus on these responsibilities — primarily due to the seasonal variations in needs for this kind of work. Having full-time employees dedicated to specific fundraising initiatives may not make sense for most organizations.
This is where WFVN offers an alternative, more convenient and efficient consultancy model. By hiring WFVN for fundraising services, non-profits can count on the reliable work of specialized professionals, on a month-by-month need-basis, as opposed to permanent/long-term employment contracts.
This means we go through the labor of researching, identifying, writing proposals and applying to grants for you, only claiming our service fee once the funding for your nonprofit has been successfully secured. This low-stakes, high-rewards model provides peace of mind for our clients, reassuring you that your team will not have to expend any monetary resources that it does not yet have.
