In an effort to ease the burden on nonprofits, we no longer require presentations; funding decisions are based solely on the application.  A scoring rubric accompanies the application, followed by a discussion with a panel consisting of Community Impact Committee members, Trustees, nonprofit representatives and community members. Thank you for your interest. We will be finalizing our selection in February and will reach out to you then. We kindly request you hold both panel orientation dates and your two preferred panel dates in the meantime.

Prior to signing up, please review these guidelines, requirements, and expectations:

• In-person attendance is required at the Foundation’s office on the day of the panel.
• $100 stipend is provided for your time.
• Meals will be provided.
• Panelists commit to attending (1) virtual panel orientation. Orientations will be held on Thursday, February 26 from 12-1pm and Monday, March 9 from 5-6pm.
• Panelists agree to read and score, and provide feedback where applicable, to all applications submitted in the field-of-interest they sign up for. The average number of applications is 35, and the time it takes to read each application varies greatly, from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Panelists should sign up for a field-of-interest in which they have some level of expertise/experience, and no conflict of interest.

If you are interested in serving on a grant review panel, please fill out the form below to sign-up. Choose your first two preferred dates. We will do our best to make sure your first option is considered.
