Based in Washington, DC, the VENG Group is a leading government relations, communications, public affairs and outreach firm that specializes in the nonprofit community. Our minority-owned firm brings together a diverse group of individuals that has experience in almost every workplace sector—state and federal government, public interest/not-for-profit, corporate/private and academia. Recognized by The Washington Post for our legislative and advocacy abilities, we have a proven track record as the “go to” and the “in the know” professionals in Washington. Whether it is legislation on the hill, government reform and regulation, developing coalitions, organizing grassroots and “grass-tops” campaigns, working with Republicans or Democrats, or staffing a client’s communications department, we provide the intelligence, strategies and resources to enable our clients to succeed. We specialize in an integrated communications and policy approach. As former executive directors, communications directors and policy advocates, we understand that effective communications must simultaneously move an agenda forward and be fully integrated with the work of the policy advocates. We understand coalition politics and the need to effectively maintain the strengths of each member organization, while at the same time, working collectively toward a unified message. Lastly, we understand the policy nuances of the work and the communities that we serve. The end result is guidance and work product that serves the client’s needs.
