Change (and Dollars) In Your Community

Nearly a dozen community improvement project teams will pitch ideas to their peers as they vie for hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding at Sourcewell's annual Community Impact Funding Review Day on June 16.

Leaders and staff from local government and nonprofit organizations are invited to attend Review Day. For the safety of all participants, Review Day will be held online. This means you can attend from the comfort of your home office or place of business.

Following presentations from each funding applicant, attendees have an opportunity to ask questions, then cast their vote. The projects with the most votes are forwarded on to the Sourcewell Board of Directors for final approval.

Preregistration is required to participate for both Review Day events. Only those affiliated with government and nonprofit agencies can vote; however, anyone from the public can attend and listen. Find additional details at sourcewell.co/fundingreview.
