CFB collaborates with over 550 social service agencies to identify and assist those most in need with handpicked furniture packages. As one of the largest furniture banks in the country, the CFB believes every person should be able to sleep on a bed, share a meal at a table, and do homework on a desk.

This role will ensure accurate financial reporting for donors and grantors, optimize resource allocation, and strengthen CFB’s capacity to serve more families in need.

Member Duties : CFB estimates that at least 5,000 households (approximately 12,500 individuals) in the Chicagoland area live in furniture poverty annually, lacking essential household items necessary for daily living. CFB addresses this critical need by providing complete furniture packages, but many in need remain unaware of our services or how to support our mission. By improving financial tracking and forecasting, the Financial Analyst VISTA will directly contribute to expanding CFB’s ability to furnish homes, reducing furniture poverty, and increasing operational efficiency. The VISTA will collaborate with CFB leadership to develop cash flow forecasting models; create tools to track budget, capital campaign, and grant fund reporting; and identify funding gaps and propose solutions for financial efficiency. By the end of service, they will design a structured reporting system and generate financial dashboards to track and communicate fund utilization.
