YOUR GIFTS: Invested by local volunteers and donors
When you give, you make an investment in our local community. All decisions on how gifts are invested are volunteer and donor-led.
Over 80 volunteers will meet this week to receive training on how to review the local agencies requesting funding from United Way of Cass-Clay.
In February and March the volunteers will visit the agencies and participate in discussions regarding impact, efficiency, and potential to create lasting change.
This group of volunteers and donors will then make funding reccomendations to the Community Investment Committee.
For more information about our Community Investment process, contact Thomas Hill at [email protected] or 701-237-5050. |
