Community Impact Update

Increased Investment Decision

The Community Impact Committee brought to the board a recommendation to provide additional funds in the coming year to a number of programs.

The recommendation was to give $20,000 additional to two collaborative grant proposals (Hillyard Youth Collaborative and YouthReach). Additionally the committee recommended $3,600 to 15 other programs.

The Board supported the recommendations of the committee as these were made using our Vision - the desire to build greater collaboration among our partners, the need to insure a focus on equity and that programs are measuring outcomes which demonstrate clear impact on target populations and aligned with our Vision.

Action for approval of the recommendation will be voted on by the Executive Committee.
