HOW ARE THE DOLLARS YOU GIVE INVESTED?
Each Spring, volunteers who live and work in Greater High Point distribute funds raised in our annual campaign to our 25 partner agencies. Our volunteers thoroughly review each agency’s finances and programs for relevance and effectiveness.
Fund distribution is a three-step process:
1) Agency Application
Partner agencies submit financial records and a detailed application explaining their funding requests
2) Accountability Review Team
Volunteer financial professionals review each agency to ensure that they are financially sound and that they have been and will continue to be good stewards of funds.
3) Agency Presentations
Partner agencies meet with the Panel Review Team members to answer questions about program outcomes and application details.
After presentations, the community members who serve on the Panel Review Teams make funding recommendations to the United Way Board of Directors.
Membership on the Panel Review Team is open to anyone who lives or works in the Greater High Point community and is not employed by a partner agency. Contact Latoya Bullock at (336) 899-0879 or latoya.bullock@unitedwayhp.org to volunteer.
