Did you know that April is National Volunteer Month?
Each April community organizations gear up for the challenges ahead whether that be pulling weeds to make room for fresh produce, sorting inventory for free grocery pick up, or creating gifts for children experiencing homelessness.
This year, organizations are in need of access funding to answer increased demand and United Way of King County is in a unique position to leverage earned dollars through grants, corporate sponsors, and individual donors to reward a total of $8,000 to our partners working to keep people housed, children feed, and resources flowing throughout the community.
Like our partners, we could use some assistance in reviewing grant applications and rewarding funds to organizations who will triple our impact. Will you help?
United Way of King County is inviting volunteers, like you, to select which nonprofit organizations will receive funding to host a volunteer opportunity in April. No prior grant experience is needed—we’ll guide you through the process!
Note that this is a multiple day volunteering opportunity and participants will need to commit to the following schedule:
-Session 1: March 10th @6 PM
Join us virtually to explore grant-making from the inside out with a community services expert. A meeting invitation will be sent to all registrants prior to the session.
-Session 2 March 15th @11 AM
Review grants and submit your responses to United Way team.
Join us in person (Location TBD) to review applications and help decide which projects receive funding.
