The big item on our collective plates is that next spring we will go through our biannual investment process, resetting our portfolio for the next two years (July 2019 - June 2021).  Therefore we have developed a Community Impact Calendar to provide a high level overview of the necessary tasks to prepare for and implement the investment process, which include:
  • reviewing our current strategies,
  • determining whether to recommend any strategy revisions,
  • reviewing our current investments to determine whether program issues or strategy changes might cause us to sunset any of those investments at the end of the year,
  • designing the investment process, including the re-granting of $60,000 in Gates funds, and implementing the investment process so that the Committee can develop new funding recommendations by May 2019.

The Community Impact Committee is recruiting new members. Please send an email to Sally Pritchard to express your interest or learn more.

Campaign Cabinet
On May 30th thirteen leaders from our top 35 campaigns came together at a luncheon hosted by Linda Underwood. This provided us the opportunity to listen to the needs of these companies, have honest conversations about aligning our efforts and effectively complete CEO Calls on these top accounts. Linda Underwood made a direct ask for these leaders to be visible, active and play a key role in their upcoming campaigns with a goal of increasing their company campaign totals.

The Resource Development Team is Fully Staffed
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Jeff DeBray and Drew Curry to our team as our new Managers of Resource Development.

Campaign Strategies
The high level strategy is to ensure our materials and conversations are donor and company centered. We are asking companies about their year-round engagement interests and have focused our efforts to meet the responses. Some strategies are:
Volunteer Spokane, both on-site opportunities and traditional opportunities are available.
Emerging Leaders Society offers monthly engagement opportunities
United Way community events - Campaign Coordinator Training, Day of Impact and OVATION.
