Community Volunteers Decide How Your Dollars are Invested

The Community Investment process is led by a team of volunteers who review each program based on three performance areas of meeting a community need, achieving results and demonstrating good stewardship.  Funding recommendations were made by the 72 volunteers who participated in the process. The volunteers thoroughly review each program application, attend on-site visits, and evaluate the program’s ability to provide services effectively and efficiently.
 
“Making sure the community’s dollars are invested wisely is a huge responsibility and is one that these volunteers take very seriously, said Jacki Lowe, Region Vice President for Georgia Power and chair of this year’s investment process.  “The commitment and thoroughness involved in all phases of United Way’s Community Investment process is amazing.  The volunteers give freely of their time and talent to ensure that gifts to United Way have impact on people right here in the Chattahoochee Valley and create lasting change.”

United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley currently has 25 partner agencies and funds 47 programs.
