Vander Weele Group
Our Culture and Values
At the Vander Weele Group, we strive to foster an environment that upholds the values of honesty, open communication, ethical integrity, and continuous learning.
Each of us plays a role in ensuring that all members of the Vander Weele Group community—including staff, clients, and partners—feel welcome, respected, heard, and safe in the spaces for which we are responsible. To achieve this goal, we challenge ourselves to:
• Approach the world and each other with openness, curiosity, and respect;
• Reflect on our beliefs and practice being receptive to new ideas;
• Continuously improve our work and ourselves through thoughtful collaboration;
• Actively seek out perspectives that are different from our own or which may be overlooked.
We seek to speak truthfully, be inspired to try new things, and have the freedom to bring our best selves to our work. Together, we will empower all the members of our community to connect, belong, and grow.
Our Culture
At the Vander Weele Group, we're passionate about making the world better by helping Federal grant programs--and the agencies that manage them--excel. We're driven by a desire to make grants oversight and compliance monitoring more meaningful, empowering organizations to better serve grantees and the public. Our employees draw on years of experience as program managers and compliance officers to bridge the gap between grantees and state agencies, and between state-operated programs and the Federal agencies that fund them.
Whether we're providing Technical Assistance, grant readiness assessments, or conducting fiscal reviews, we pride ourselves on the quality of our work and exceeding clients' expectations. At the same time, we provide a supportive culture, and extensive learning opportunities with a robust benefits program. We live and work with integrity, fairness, and a commitment to continuous improvement—and we strive to hire people who do the same.
Our Values
In addition to our philosophy of Meaningful Monitoring, our work is guided by our four core values:
Quality
Our work is clear, accurate, comprehensive, and visually engaging. We're detail-oriented and thorough in every area of our business.
Integrity
We deliver what we promise, and do not promise what we can't deliver. We treat our clients, employees, and partners with respect.
​
Communication
We welcome new ideas and encourage healthy, respectful debate. We offer supportive feedback and constructive criticism.
​
Collaboration​
We help our colleagues overcome obstacles and celebrate their successes. We care genuinely about our clients, their grantees, and the communities they serve.
