The Varga Approach
Our first job is to gain a deep understanding of your unique culture, mission and programs. From day one, you’ll find that our team is hands-on, strategic, thoughtful, energetic, caring and fun to work with. Six key principles guide the way we approach every client relationship.
Client-Centered & Empathetic
We sincerely care about each of our clients.
The Power of Questions
We believe powerful questions are the real catalysts for change.
Genuine Curiosity
We seek to understand and value different perspectives.
Doing is More than Knowing
We move you from knowing into action.
Abundance & Possibility
We focus on clients’ assets and strengths, emphasizing your untapped potential.
Joy Matters
We take our work seriously without taking ourselves seriously. Teams that have fun together get better results.
“The Varga Group was extraordinary in helping us strengthen our staff, inspire our board and strategically prepare for our first comprehensive campaign.”
Ann Prater, retired Executive Director, Portland Community College Foundation
The PCC Foundation’s first campaign, The Campaign for Opportunity, raised $46+ million to support students on their path to prosperity by providing resources that increase access and success.
Anti-racism, Anti-hate Statement
The Varga Group is anti-racist and anti-hate. We stand in solidarity with people who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodiverse, and from all countries of origin, those who follow any religion, or no religion, and who identify as any combination or intersection of these identities. This statement will continue to evolve as we learn and unlearn.
If you identify with any of the groups listed above and feel uncomfortable with the language we are using, or feel there’s more we should be saying or doing; have stories or resources you’d like us to amplify through our platform and network, please reach out.
Words We Live By
