Community Investment

Decisions by Consensus

Each year, members of our community decide how United Way campaign donations to the General Fund will be distributed among participating agencies that submit program funding proposals. Through committees of volunteers, people like you review agency budgets, operations, and funding requests.

Donors who live or work in the towns of Amherst, Brookline, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, and Wilton can serve on the committees, which meet February through April. For more information about becoming a community investment volunteer, click here

To see where volunteers decided the money should go in 2007, see the Annual Report

My Community Investment Experience

by Cindy Howe, BAE Systems

My 10 years on United Way's Community Investment Panels have been both educational and fulfilling. Learning how the process works from the campaign to the distribution of funds has helped me appreciate how my donation helps the greatest number of people. In no other setting would I have the opportunity to learn in detail about many of the great programs in this area. It also has provided me the opportunity to give back to the community where I grew up and raised my family.
