UWMC’s community impact grants are determined by a
competitive, volunteer-led grant making process. More than
60 community volunteers helped make funding decisions
during a rigorous evaluation process to ensure grants are
distributed objectively and aligned with UWMC’s goals.
“United Way is driven by community – from our donors,
to our leadership and staff, to our agency partners and grant
recipients,” said Houwaart-Diez. “We add great value to
charitable giving by evaluating community needs and holding
agencies accountable for results, so donors can rest assured
their contributions are making a difference and people in
need get the support they deserve.”
