Every year, our board makes decisions on investing dollars entrusted to the GVUW into programs and services that have the biggest impact in our South Georgia region. These decisions are driven by the recommendations of the Community Investment Committee (CIC), a volunteer-led group of community leaders who are passionate about local nonprofits and critical community needs and who are willing to lead and drive decisions about the strategic investment of resources in the community. Tomorrow is the final day to submit your application for this opportunity! Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eXtaYhuk

The Greater Valdosta United Way’s (GVUW) mission is to create positive change in the lives of community members by mobilizing the caring power of the community. The GVUW is looking to recruit a strong group of community-minded individuals to help make funding recommendations for our partner nonprofits. Every year, our board makes decisions on investing dollars entrusted to the GVUW into programs and services that have the biggest impact in our South Georgia region. This is done by a Community Investment Committee (CIC), a volunteer-led group of community leaders who are passionate about local nonprofits and critical community needs and who are willing to lead and drive decisions about the strategic investment of resources in the community. This year, we ask that you apply to be a part of this monumental decision! Want to help us make the best decisions for our community and region? Visit https://lnkd.in/e6Q4AuU8 for more information.
