Chisholm Trail-Christian Community Action Grants VISTA
 
 
 
For more than 40 years, Christian Community Action (CCA) has been healing, feeding, and educating families in need throughout Collin, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties in North Texas. Headquartered in Lewisville, TX, CCA is one of the largest private nonprofits in North Texas, providing more than 10,000 individual services each year. Through careful case management, CCA’s holistic approach from rescue to transition helps families in need achieve self- sufficiency by offering a “hand-up” instead of a hand-out. Available programs include: the Food Pantry, Spiritual Care and Counseling, Vocational/Education Services, Case Management Services and Seasonal Programs. The Grant Writing VISTA at CCA will build the agency's capacity through grant research and development of new funding relationships. The VISTA will write a minimum of 6 grants proposals with a potential outcome of $250,000. AmeriCorps VISTA members perform only indirect service; interaction with clients will be limited and the member will spend the majority of his or her time in an office setting. However, the Christian Community Action VISTA will play a dynamic role in ending poverty by researching grant opportunities and developing new funding streams to support the agency’s programs and lead individuals and families out of crisis to self-sufficiency. As a Christian Community Action Grant Writing VISTA you will be part of a cohort coordinated by the AmeriCorps VISTA North Texas project at Chisholm Trail RSVP, Inc. Early applications strongly encouraged. To learn more about Christian Community Action, visit www.ccahelps.org.
