Connect for Good is an opportunity for a more in-depth volunteer experience. Participants learn from experts on the issue, roll up their sleeves and help out as hands-on volunteers, and fundraise to support effective solutions.
We’re looking for a group of 25 Emerging Leaders to join a grants review team to help United Way select nonprofit agency recipients for service grants. These grants will support volunteering projects on or around Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in January 2019.
Note that this is a multiple day volunteering opportunity and participants will need to commit to the following schedule:
Wednesday 10/3 (6pm – 8:30pm)
· Introduction to United Way: Overview of Four Focus Areas
· Part 1: Grantmaking 101 with a racial equity lens
· Part 1: Fundraising 101/ basics/ best practices
October 4- October 16 (review grants)
Wednesday 10/17 (6pm – 8:30pm)
· Part 2: Fundraising 102/ basics/ best practices
· Part 2: Grant making discussion and determination
Wednesday 10/24 (6pm – 8:30pm)
· Program evaluation & MLK Emerging Leaders project selection
By signing up for this project you are committing to participating during October (a duration of 4 weeks).
This opportunity is open to young professionals in their 20s and 30s as part of our Emerging Leaders program.
