*Goodwill VISTA* Fundraising & Grant Writing VISTA

Since 2015, the Goodwill NNE VISTA Partnership has sought to alleviate poverty in communities across Maine and New Hampshire from the most rural areas to the most populous cities. VISTA Members support capacity-building and organizational-development goals of local agencies, including schools and nonprofits, providing invaluable boosts to the wellbeing of communities through indirect service such as creating new programs, assisting with community assessments, fundraising and grant writing, communications work, increasing social media presence, and recruiting and managing volunteers among other projects. The organizations we partner with focus on important community issues including but not limited to affordable housing, support for seniors, food security, assisting New Americans, educational support, and accessible transportation. At present, members are placed in partner agencies situated from the Seacoast of New Hampshire to the border towns of Lubec and Limestone, Maine. In the 2023-2024 grant year alone, our VISTA members: recruited over 1,405 new volunteers who contributed over 19,443 hours of service to their organizations; raised over 1.1 million dollars; and created and enhanced over 243 systems and business processes. The positive impact VISTA members offer their local communities is remarkable and continues to build year after year.
