Catholic Charities Resource Development VISTA-Phoenix

Catholic Charities Community Services’ Philanthropy Department strengthens community impact through fundraising, volunteerism, marketing, and engagement. This VISTA will support community-building efforts by expanding sustainable in-kind donation resources and deepening engagement with local faith-based groups, civic partners, and businesses. Your work will directly enhance the organization’s capacity to provide critical resources to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, poverty, and housing instability. This position centers on two key strategies: (1) building systems for resource development and donor stewardship, and (2) launching a Community Storybank & Impact Gallery to collect and share powerful stories from volunteers, donors, and those served.

You will begin by researching best practices and developing a plan to cultivate and track in-kind donations, including the creation of outreach tools, event templates, and donor recognition systems. In tandem, you’ll design an infrastructure for collecting, organizing, and sharing impact stories that align with agency programs and priorities. As these systems are implemented, you’ll help ensure community voices are amplified and donor relationships are deepened through authentic, values-driven storytelling.

By the end of your term, you will have built a sustainable foundation for long-term volunteer and donor engagement that advances CCCS’s mission of compassionate service.
