How does the Community Investment Process work?
1. A donation to United Way is made
2. Local Agencies submit grant proposals for funding
3. A group of trained community volunteers serve on the Allocation panel and decide where the dollars go
4. All donations stay in Big Bend (unless directed otherwise by the donor)
5. $.83 of every dollar goes to support local programs
One gift at a time…..
= $3
= $5
= $10
