Community Investment Volunteers are a diverse team of individuals committed to making important funding decisions regarding the most urgent needs of the community.

These individuals take tours of agencies and review budgets and results of United Way agencies to make recommendations to the board of directors regarding funding. 

Once these decisions are made, distribution of funds begins in April.
