About ReDefiners World Languages ReDefiners World Languages is committed to building sustainable funding models that allow us to grow our impact without overextending staff capacity. We are shifting from planning to operationalizing high-return individual giving systems.

Position Summary The Community Giving & Donor Engagement VISTA will help build efficient, scalable individual giving systems, with a focus on increasing the number of sustaining (monthly) donors.
