The cornerstone of our United Way, the annual Fund Distribution Process brings together teams of volunteers who help meet the social service needs of our community by ensuring fiscal responsibility and program accountability for every agency receiving United Way funding. Volunteers gain insight into local needs, assess agency effectiveness, and help direct United Way dollars responsibly and impactfully.
In Lee County, Fund Distribution takes place each March and April. Volunteers are assigned to a team that meets twice: first for a one-hour virtual review of two agencies, and then for an in-person site visit to tour the agencies and finalize funding recommendations. The total commitment is about five hours.
This process is informative, rewarding, and a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow community-minded leaders. We would love to have you join one of the many teams serving Lee County!
