About Re Definers World LanguagesRe Definers World Languages is committed to building sustainable funding models that allow us to grow our impact without overextending staff capacity. We are shifting from planning to operationalizing high-return individual giving systems.
Position SummaryThe Community Giving & Donor Engagement VISTA will help build efficient, scalable individual giving systems, with a focus on increasing the number of sustaining (monthly) donors.
This role does not involve asking for donations or managing donor relationships. Instead, the VISTA will design, test, and document high-ROI, low-lift systems that staff and board members can execute—aimed at generating at least 50 new sustaining donors annually.

- Support real-world pilots of donor systems for learning and evaluation
- Document all systems, tools, and learning in the Development Handbook
- Interest in nonprofit development, donor engagement, or systems design
- Strong writing, organization, and analytical skills
- Comfort synthesizing feedback and data into practical tools
- Ability to collaborate with staff and board members
- Prior nonprofit or fundraising exposure helpful but not required
- Experience designing sustainable fundraising systems (not transactional fundraising)
- Exposure to donor psychology, engagement pathways, and stewardship models
- Training and professional development through Ameri Corps
- Opportunity to build infrastructure that supports long‑term growth
- A biweekly living allowance paid directly by Ameri Corps VISTA
