Your Voice, Our Impact: Help Direct Community Funding!
Now's your chance to help shape the future of our community. Join United Way Emerald Coast (UWEC) and create real change. We're looking for community-minded volunteers to serve as Grant Panelists - and we'd love for YOU to be part of it!
What's in it for you?
As a Grant Panelist, you'll have a front row seat in deciding how our collective funds are invested to support dozens of non-profits across Okaloosa and Walton counties. It's an easy, rewarding way to make a BIG impact! As a volunteer, you'll:
- Attend a mandatory training to learn all about UWEC, our priorities, and how to review grant applications.
- Review and score grant applications from local non-profits. This is completed online, on your own time.
- Sit in on presentations from agencies doing incredible work (1 day).
- Join group discussions to help decide where our funding will create the greatest change (up to 3 hours).
Who can join?
Anyone who donates to UWEC - no matter the amount - is invited to volunteer! Not a donor just yet? Not a problem, it's easy to give by texting UWEMERALDCOAST to 41444 or visiting www.united-way.org/donate.
