This is a skills-based corporate volunteering opportunity with Vic Park Community Centre.
Help the Vic Park Community Centre team
Vic Park Community Centre is a vibrant community hub that delivers a diverse range of programs, services and venue hire opportunities for local residents and organisations. Committed to strengthening community connection, participation and wellbeing, the Centre is continually looking for ways to maximise its impact while making the most effective use of its resources.
Vic Park Community Centre is seeking an experienced professional with expertise in fundraising, events, sponsorship, philanthropy or business development to help strengthen and grow their fundraising capacity. While the Centre has recently begun exploring fundraising events and sponsorship opportunities, it is looking for strategic guidance to develop a sustainable and achievable approach that aligns with its resources, strengths and community impact goals.
This project will provide significant value to Vic Park Community Centre by helping the organisation diversify its revenue streams, build stronger relationships with sponsors and supporters, and increase its ability to deliver meaningful programs and services for the community. Additional fundraising and sponsorship capacity will support future program growth as well as vital upgrades and improvements to the Centre’s facilities, ensuring a lasting benefit for the community it serves.
