The Community Investment Process helps to ensure that the community-raised dollars are invested in local programs that change lives and align with Heartland United Way’s mission.
Community Investment Volunteers work hard for change in our community. They represent the community and invest community dollars in programs that create lasting change. Volunteers ensure the sound investment of funds by reviewing the programs the Heartland United Way invests in, evaluating each program, and make investment recommendations, which United Way’s Board of Directors approves. These trained volunteers measure program investments against quality standards, listen to presentations, and complete a comprehensive evaluation to help United Way direct investments to the very best services across our community. Volunteers lead the review of funding requests, program outcomes, financial data and past performance.
Please note: Volunteers must be a current United Way donor. Agency personnel for any grant applicant or program funded by the United Way is not eligible to participate.
