Community Investments Coordinator
Community Investments Coordinator
Release date: February 19, 2026
Anticipated Start Date: Mid-April 2026
Position Overview
The Community Investments and Equity Coordinator supports VCDC’s Community Investments department, which is responsible for both raising capital and deploying that capital through VCDC’s tax credit portfolio to achieve community impact.
Under the leadership of the Vice President of Community Investments, the department operates across two closely connected functions:
Equity Funds, focused on raising and stewarding investment capital, and
Community Investments, focused on deploying that capital through hands-on partnerships with community developers.
This role provides essential coordination, administration, and project tracking across both functions—helping ensure that capital flows smoothly from investors to projects, and that information, timelines, and commitments are managed accurately throughout the investment lifecycle.
The Coordinator works closely with internal teams, development partners, and investors to support deal flow, project pipelines, investor coordination, and reporting. By organizing processes, maintaining clear documentation, and supporting cross-team collaboration, this role helps VCDC bring capital in and put capital to work in service of affordable housing and community development.
