RIFC Grants & Program Development AmeriCorps 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 Clinic seeks a highly motivated Grants and Program Development VISTA to expand funding opportunities in support of the Clinic¿s comprehensive health services for low-income, uninsured adults. The Rhode Island Free Clinic Grants and Program Development VISTA will build off of the work of the previous VISTA in this role to identify and pursue sustainable grant and fundraising opportunities¿local, state, federal, national, and private¿that align with the Clinic¿s mission and programming needs. This VISTA will also collaborate closely with the Clinic¿s Data VISTA and Communications & Fundraising VISTA to ensure grant applications are supported by strong data and aligned with broader development strategies, including opportunities for event sponsorship and community partnerships.
