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 a statewide convener, CRC listens to partners’ challenges and considers new ways to provide support and access to tools. An 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 grant research, write grants, and develop systems for management and reporting. The GrantCorps VISTA will combat this barrier by engaging with eligible organizations addressing poverty and will help build their capacity through fund development and grant writing. The VISTA will assist in securing resources with eligible nonprofits by researching grant opportunities and drafting, editing, and submitting strong grant proposals. They will gain valuable insight in grant development by crafting grant applications with these nonprofits. Additionally, VISTA members will provide information, resources, and one-on-one grant writing services to eligible nonprofits to help fund their programs, projects, and general operating needs. The VISTA member will increase the skills of these smaller, rural, BIPOC-led and serving organizations to better access funding opportunities, building greater access to public and private grant opportunities across Colorado. This role will address the sustainability of services to under-resourced communities and identify possible streams of funding. By doing so, the VISTA will increase the ability of CRC’s 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.
