GrantCorps VISTA
 
 
 
Community Resource Center (CRC), a Denver based nonprofit, supports and strengthens change-makers across the nonprofit ecosystem, working together to create a more equitable Colorado. As an innovator and statewide convener, CRC listens to partners’ challenges and considers new ways to provide support and access to tools most needed by organizations. A significant and ongoing challenge faced by small, rural-based, and BIPOC-led and serving nonprofits is access to grant funding. Often, smaller organizations lack the capacity to conduct research for, write, and develop systems for management and reporting on grants. The GrantCorps VISTA will combat this barrier by engaging with rural nonprofits addressing poverty and will help build their capacity through fund development, research and grant writing. They will gain valuable insight and experience in fund development by initiating grant research, grant proposal and report preparation, resource mapping, and creation of grant and budget tracking tools. This VISTA member will compile records throughout their term of service to establish best practices for this model of capacity building and create tools to regularly evaluate success. They will create an implementation plan and provide recommendations for subsequent VISTA member(s) for improvements to increase success. This role will address the sustainability of services to low-income communities, and the streams of funding that make access to those services possible. By doing so, the VISTA will increase the ability of CRC partners to improve educational, health, housing, and workforce development outcomes. CRC staff will support the VISTA Member and enhance their opportunities for professional development and future employment. CRC is looking for committed and passionate individuals to join this ground-breaking initiative to bridge the access gap and work towards a more equitable future.
