Mlksrcrc VISTA Development Associate

The Martin Luther King Sr. Community Resources Collaborative (‘the Collaborative’), a vision of the Ebenezer Baptist Church Board of Trustees, helps struggling families in our metro-Atlanta community to build better lives by providing comprehensive, networked, integrated, and empathetic social support resources at a single accessible location. The MLKSRCRC uses a bold and ambitious model to change how community services are rendered to families living in poverty.

We have created a one-stop-shop resources complex with local, state and national government and social service organizations with a focus on stability and self-sufficiency through 5 overlapping lenses: family stability, emotional well-being, educational achievement, financial stability, and employment. The Collaborative works to address and develop solutions to creating economic opportunities by providing training for economic self-sufficiency through education, life skills training and dedicated life coaching.

Our goal is to remove traditional barriers to success and continue to develop an even stronger network of supportive services. The Collaborative will strengthen the community by providing the services needed in a manner to meet the needs of its target population.

The Development Associate position entails capacity building through special projects such as crowd-funding initiatives, Cyber Giving Campaigns, as well as data analysis, grant writing, and research. The Development Associate will work closely with the ED, supporting the fundraising efforts to diversify funding streams and identify new funding sources. There will be heavy focus on submitting applications to private foundations, corporate foundations, and public sources.

The VISTA member will participate in the entire process from researching potential sources, preparing proposals, compiling needed information, and submitting proposals. When the assignment is complete, there will be grant policies and procedures in place, a viable annual grant calendar, a target foundation list, and proposals to use as a model for future funding requests.
