Each year, United Way volunteers and donors play a crucial role in the grant process by serving on Citizen Review Panels and reviewing applications from local nonprofit organizations seeking funding for their program(s).
The process includes reading grant applications, participating in site visits and making recommendations to the Fund Distribution Committee. With roughly 50 applications received each year, Citizen Review Panels ensure a fair and equitable means for distributing funds to programs that address community needs in the areas of health, education, and financial stability.
There is a limit of five participants per panel, so please only register for one (1) or two (2) Citizen Review Panels by clicking the button below. As space is limited, preference will be given to United Way donors and/or first-time participants.
