VISTA Grant Writer
 
 
 
Jesse Tree is the Treasure Valley’s only eviction and homeless prevention-focused organization working on the front lines of the housing crisis, providing support and emergency rental assistance to low-income neighbors experiencing a temporary financial crisis and eviction. The Grant Writer will conduct the full range of activities required to prepare, submit, and manage grant proposals to foundation, corporate, and government sources, ultimately to raise funds to support Jesse Tree's rental assistance programs. The VISTA will also work directly with other VISTA members to coordinate and facilitate events, identify potential sponsors, and send out donor communications. The VISTA will ultimately improve Jesse Tree's grants program.
