Neighbor Network Fundraising Specialist
 
 
 
N4 programs are designed to build social capital and foster the sharing of information and resources between neighbors and involve all community assets in establishing a helpful, caring community utilizing a time exchange, volunteer program, information & referral system, a social program, and coming soon a community care program where caregivers to elders and people with disabilities will receive respite services. N4 currently serves citizens living in the Reno/Sparks, Nevada. We are nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain range where outdoor recreation is limitless! With Lake Tahoe only 45 minutes away, enjoy skiing, hiking, biking, and more. Reno has a rich arts culture and a wide variety of local events. At N4, we want our VISTA team members to leave their year of service ready to dream big in the nonprofit sector. We are eager to meet community-minded and enthusiastic self-starters to join our team! N4 values creativity and highly motivated team members for accomplishing our mission to link, support, and grow healthy communities in Northern Nevada. By joining N4, VISTA members will learn about an asset-based community development approach, how to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations, and what it means to design programs in a citizen-centered way. The N4 Fundraising Specialist will research future funding opportunities, draft grant applications, complete follow-up reporting for awarded grants, contact local foundations, and provide N4 leadership with information on trending initiatives on local and national levels. The Fundraising Specialist will use an asset-based community development approach to assess funding opportunities for member engagement, including building a social calendar, designing healthy activities, and coordinating social program events. The VISTA in this role will also create a future plan for soliciting donations from individuals and at least one large annual fundraising event for the organization.
