SpokaneGivesSpokane Gives Creates Over $3M in Impact, Engages 20K+ in Volunteerism
Spokane Gives is a partnership between Spokane County United Way and the City of Spokane that encourages and supports volunteer activities throughout the month of April.

This initiative expands on the strong philanthropic efforts already in our region. Nearly 400 nonprofit agencies utilize Volunteer Spokane to post volunteer opportunities. This site allows volunteers to conveniently find the right opportunity and track their giving hours.

Additionally, mini-grants are provided for youth and nonprofit agencies to cover supply costs for projects. 

Thank you to our mini-grant sponsors for funding 30 projects: Avista Foundation, Fairmount Memorial Association, Inland Northwest Community Foundation, STCU, and U-Haul.

Thanks to all the volunteers that made the fifth year of Spokane Gives another great success!
CIBoard Approves Continued Investment with Boy Scouts and Odyssey Youth
The Community Impact Committee presented the board with a recommendation to continue funding to Boy Scouts and Odyssey Youth. 

During the last funding cycle these organizations were asked to work closer with Spokane County United Way to monitor progress.  Both organizations agreed to meet on a quarterly basis to report progress, submit semi-annual reports, and meet with the Community Impact Committee in the spring of 2018.

Both organizations complied with these reporting requirements and demonstrated to the Committee's satisfaction that they had fulfilled or made sufficient progress toward the grand conditions to warrant renewed funding.

The Board agreed with, and approved the Committee's recommendation. Click here for more details.
The Budget for Fiscal Year 18-19 was presented.   

 


The Board approved and passed the proposed budget.
Campaign 2018

Linda Underwood is working closely with the United Way team in preparation of the Company Campaign Launch Luncheon. This luncheon is scheduled for May 30th. CEOs from the top 35 accounts have been invited.

 

The luncheon is designed to be strategically focused, provide opportunity for candid discussions, and review prior year campaign data for the combined giving of these 35 firms and the personalized giving data for each company.

 

At the meeting the new Case for Giving document will be utilized. This document was presented at this morning's Board Meeting and received complimentary reviews.
