work opportunities
Are you a strategic planner?
Join us in shaping our next chapter
Since our founding in 2018, GFC has grown into a regional backbone organization working alongside communities, partners, coalitions and individuals to advance food access and equity across Southwest Colorado. With this growth comes a need for greater clarity, focus, and alignment, both internally and in how we support collective, community-led work.
​
We are seeking proposals for a strategic planning partnership that includes two connected efforts:
-
An organizational strategic and operational plan for the Good Food Collective, focused on internal alignment with staff and our Advisory Board; and
-
A strategic programming plan for the La Plata Food Equity Coalition, a member-led, equity-centered coalition that requires deep, inclusive engagement.
Proposals due: February 20, 2026
Are you a fundraising consultant?
We're requesting proposals from qualified fundraising consultants to support a regional senior center grow dome project.
​
Ideal candidates will have demonstrated experience in nonprofit fundraising, and experience with community-based, food access, health, or senior-focused programs
are you a professional facilitator?
We're seeking an experienced facilitator to co-design and lead a day-long regional Food Security Convening in Montezuma County, in late April/early May 2026.
The convening will bring together community members, local officials, Tribal leadership, nonprofit and public agencies, the private sector, and individuals with lived experience. Together we'll develop an action plan to improve food security across the Montezuma-Dolores-Ute Mountain Ute region.
