The Campaign Cabinet is off to a great start. Volunteers representing more than $1M of last year's campaign have been recruited to serve on this year's campaign and the team is targeting 150 meetings for the year.  This process is critical to the success of the Campaign as it rallies CEO-level support of United Way for the fall.

Investment Process
The Community Impact Committee brought to the board a recommendation to approve their grant renewal recommendations for current programs. The recommendation was a commitment of flat funding from the prior investment.

The approval of this recommendation was time sensitive in order for us to communicate our intentions with our partner agencies.

To approve this recommendation, without a quorum, a meeting of the Executive Committee was held, with all five Executive Committee members present, following the board meeting. All members of the board in attendance were comfortable with this action. 

Additional Funding Recommendations
Currently $94,000 remains to be allocated. At this time the Community Impact Committee is developing their recommendation for action at the June board meeting.


Community Collaborations
Community Collaborations have been a priority for the Community Impact Committee during this funding process. Collaborative investments provide a new way for us to address our investment strategy.
