The Community Investment process is an annual volunteer-driven grant program. UWCGA staff and committee leadership consult with local organizations and provide training each year. Committee volunteers read and score proposals, review agency financials, participate in agency site visits, express comments and concerns for agencies, build agency relationships, and prepare funding recommendations. The funds for the Community Investment Program are raised through the UWCGA annual campaign and final approval of grant recommendations is made by the UWCGA Board of Directors.
