Every two years United Way's Community Impact Fund accepts grant applications from local programs. This process is led by the volunteers on our Community Impact Committee and Board of Directors. But they can't do it alone - we need your help.

We are seeking 100 volunteers committed to United Way's goal of improving Health, Education, and Financial Stability in Champaign County to serve as Grant Review volunteers! This is one of the most critical volunteer roles at United Way.

Volunteers participate in an orientation, read/review grant requests, and program interviews.  You will provide guidance to United Way regarding each program's strengths, challenges, and measurable outcomes.
