Rhode Island Free Clinic Communications & Fundraising VISTA

Rhode Island Free Clinic is nationally recognized for its volunteer/community partner model. We believe in strengthening our community by giving people resources and education to help themselves. The Clinic also serves as a training site for aspiring healthcare professionals. Services and training are provided at our Clinic in Providence at its state-of-the-art, 8,000 square foot facility. The Clinic raises 100% of its $1.5 million annual budget, and with that leverages over $7.5 million in additional health resources to provide medical, dental, behavioral health care and wellness programs to improve the health of vulnerable RI adults. Through the Clinic¿s comprehensive range of free health services, patients' health is stabilized and improved, and they are empowered through increased health literacy, follow-up visits, and referrals to self-manage chronic conditions and better maintain their own wellness. The Clinic seeks an excellent writer and thinker with demonstrated initiative and clear organizational, communications and analytical skills to increase philanthropic support for the Clinic¿s comprehensive health services for low-income, uninsured adults.

The Rhode Island Free Clinic Communications and Fundraising VISTA will build off of the previous Communications and Marketing VISTA to create sustainable communication, marketing, and fundraising strategies to expand outreach, engagement, and overall stakeholder support for RIFC¿s mission. This will include social media and website outreach as well as key support and implementation of new initiatives for in-person and virtual fundraising events such as 401Gives, Giving Tuesday, and RIFC¿s Friends of the Free Clinic event in the Fall. All with the goal of increased donor and community engagement.
