The Community Investment Committee (CIC) of United Way is a process by which community volunteers review Agency Funding Requests; volunteers make funding recommendations based on presentations from the agencies, interviews with the agencies, and a careful review of each agency submission.
Community Investment Committee has been broken into four Agency Support Teams. Each team reviews the funding requests of up 7 agencies and discuss, through thorough conversations, the operations of those agencies. The goal of each team is to ensure that the funding requests meet the United Way's Community Impact goal of strengthening the capacity of nonprofits in the areas of Building Strong Communities, Helping Kids Be All They Can Be, and Moving Individuals from Poverty to Possibility.
Volunteers are recruited from business, labour, the public sector, youth and the community at large. United Way staff provides volunteers with the documentation and technical assistance to make informed and sound decisions. Agencies are grouped to give committee members an opportunity to experience the diversity of all agencies.
This opportunity requires approximately 30 hours over a four-month period from early November to the end of February.
