Allocations Committee

Committee Chair(s):
Cheryl Ortiz, Co-Chair
Dan Bence, Co-Chair

Comittee Description:

THE ALLOCATION COMMITTEE, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF UNITED WAY BOARD MEMBERS AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOCATING YOUR DONATIONS TO AGENCIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. CHANGE THAT MATTERS.

Allocating funds to programs at United Way Partner Agencies is an involved process. Over 40 trained volunteers from within our community serve on the Allocations Committee. They spend several months carefully analyzing our community's needs, evaluating the performance and impact of Partner Agencies and studying funding requests. Campaign funds are distributed to programs that make the greatest impact in our community after the United Way's Board of Directors approves the committee's recommendations.

All the committee members study the documents submitted by the agencies. Small groups of committee members are assigned to study each agency in depth and serve as a liaison between the committee and the agency. Members of the Allocations Committee work to ensure that the needs of Kennebec Valley residents are met in the most cost-efficient manner possible. Without them, the efficiency and impact of your dollars would not be as widely felt through our community. The United Way would like to thank all of those who have participated in the allocations process.

For more information on the allocations process or if you are interested in serving on the United Way Allocations Committee in the future, contact the United Way at 626-3400 or visit www.uwkv.org.
