Volunteers Needed!
Join the UWSAW Citizen Investment
Review Team
UWSAW needs you! We're currently recruiting community members to serve on a Citizen Investment Review Team (CIRT) on Thursday, October 26, 9am-4pm.

CIRTs are made up of UWSAW board members and citizens who meet with a group of local nonprofit organizations that have applied for an UWSAW Community Impact Grant. The teams will listen to presentations, ask questions about programs, and make recommendations on funding.

Expected time commitment is about 5-10 hours:
  • 1-2 hours preparing for site visits (reviewing grant applications and supporting documents)
  • 3 hours for morning site visit session (9am-noon) and 3 hours for afternoon site visit session (1-4pm)
  • 1-2 hours after site visits reviewing notes and attending the Funders Meeting with the UWSAW board if interested (Tuesday, November 7, 5-7pm)

Some site visits will be virtual while others will be conducted in person. Can't do the entire day? That's ok! Some folks enjoy doing the entire day; some folks can only do one of the site visit sessions.

No qualifications necessary! We want all areas of our community to be represented during this process.
