Expectations

The volunteers of the CIG Panel Review are responsible for recommending funding for various programs. These recommendations are then presented to the UWSWMN Board of Directors for final approval. The funds raised during the campaign of 2025-2026 will be distributed among the awarded programs quarterly starting in July 2026.

If I am selected, I agree to:

Give this opportunity my full attention and diligence.
Attend volunteer orientation for first-time volunteers or review orientation materials if a returning volunteer.
Read and review all funding applications prior to agency presentations.
Refrain from personal bias when engaging in fund distribution recommendations.
Refrain from voting in the event of a potential conflict of interest.
Voice any questions, comments, or concerns to your Panel Chair immediately.
Keep the needs of our community residents first.
