The VISTA Philanthropy and Training Coordinator will help build the capacity of Life Adventure by helping us grow our fundraising pipeline and increase the frequency we communicate with potential donors and community partners; ensure Life Adventure Center can continue to provide our programming at a free or reduced cost by researching grants and assisting with grant applications and grant stewardship; and help our community learn about the work we do at Life Adventure Center to build awareness for our mission through special events and updating our donor database.

More specifically, this person will:

1. Build awareness of the work we do at Life Adventure Center to help build capacity and strengthen our annual giving program. This will include taking photographs and videos of programs and participants, developing materials around our special giving weeks and opportunities, and helping with stewardship efforts.
2. Research new and existing grant opportunities, and review current grant reporting requirements and develop protocols around collecting information needed for grant reporting from program staff and others.
3. Develop in-person or virtual events to share with our community about the work we do at Life Adventure Center, and the impact we are having on the Central Kentucky community. including producing materials with the help of LAC Staff to share with community members during public facing events like our pumpkin train, golf scrambles, donor volunteer events, community festivals and more.
