The wheels are in motion for the first round of grants that will be given out in April. If you would like to be considered to be a part of the Citizen Action Team (CAT) please contact Michelle Gallagher 947-3200 x 201 or michelleg@unitedwaynwmi.org.
What is a CAT?
The CAT is a group of volunteers from the community who decides which agencies will receive grant money from United Way of Northwest Michigan in 2009. No staff member from United Way has any part of deciding who gets funding, it is all done based on the recommendation of the volunteers on the CAT.
The time commitment is usually two full days in April, along with a one time orientation meeting in March that usually lasts an hour to two hours. The experience is amazing and the things you will learn about your community and the agencies that serve it is invaluable.
