About BC Rent Bank:

BC Rent Bank is a project of Vancity Community Foundation with funding provided by the Province of BC.

Founded in 2019, BC Rent Bank was established to support existing rent banks, provide seed funding and support for new sites, and ultimately create an infrastructure that would support a province-wide rent bank system.

Having accomplished that original mandate, BC Rent Bank is now shifting its focus to ongoing support of that province-wide system through funding, resources, and professional development.

There are currently 18 rent banks in BC.

A rent bank is a homelessness prevention and housing stability program focused on supporting low-moderate income renters who face a temporary crisis.

In addition to providing financial support, rent banks also provide secondary supports such a landlord mediation, access to financial literacy, food banks, and other community resources aimed at creating greater housing stability.

The Role:
Resource Development Manager (BC Rent Bank)

The Resource Development Manager will be instrumental in the development and implementation of fundraising strategies to ensure that BC Rent Bank has an expanding base of revenue that is grounded in Truth and Reconciliation, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The Resource Development Manager holds an important strategic voice within the BC Rent Bank team to ensure that resource development is aligned to the project's priorities and values.

Within this role you will work closely with the BC Rent Bank team, but also a network of non-profit organizations across the Province, to meet respective deliverables and achieve maximum impact.

This role will lead the charge around the development of new and vibrant relationships for the ongoing growth and success of BC Rent Bank.

This individual will be responsible for philanthropy development inclusive of major giving, donor relations, and the development of resources that support the network to fundraise at the local level.

Develop and manage a donor channel, identifying prospects, discovery calls, developing proposals and letters, crafting recognition strategies, reporting and donor stewardship.
