Community Project Manager

The Community Project Manager position exists to provide direct staff support to the Foundation for the Advancement of Southern and Southwest Virginia, primarily through the pursuit and administration of grants on its behalf. This position also works in coordination with Commission staff to assist eligible grant recipients that operate in the Tobacco Region as they develop projects and pursue and administer grants in support of projects aligned with Commission goals, with a special focus on those entities that are also receiving or potentially receiving Commission support. By building strong relationships with funding partners and expertise in their programs, this position can help the Foundation and our partners efficiently and effectively access these resources to carry out the mission of the Commission and improve its long-term financial position by enabling a greater total community impact using fewer Commission dollars. The strong writing skills this position requires can support Commission marketing and public relations efforts, while its strong grants management experience will enable support of the grants team as needed.
