Vimbayi Chitaka
Community Engagement Advisor
My role at Rātā Foundation is Grants Advisor. I support community organisations by assessing their funding applications to our responsive programmes (small and large grants), offering personalised advice, and guiding them through our priorities.
Carroll loves seeing people make a positive difference and supporting their communities to thrive. She is no stranger to organisations at the heart of her local community with a background in youth work, and she brings plenty of knowledge and experience in the not-for-profit sector to her role at Rātā.
Carroll says the Rātā kaupapa of supporting communities of need inspired her to join the team as a Grants Advisor, and its priorities align perfectly with the outcomes she'd like to see achieved for her community. She is motivated to make a positive impact and achieve equitable outcomes for Māori and Pasifika youth. She also wants to see more communities empowered to succeed and achieve their goals.
