JOIN A COMMUNITY FUND PANEL!
CPA Volunteers Needed
In 2011-12, the United Way of Central New Mexico Community Fund supports 110 programs that assist those most vulnerable in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia counties. Each year, volunteers are the eyes and ears of 23,000 Community Fund donors. These volunteers examine agencies and the programs requesting funding to ensure Community Fund dollars reach those most vulnerable, contributing to real and lasting change in our communities.
The Community Fund needs 350 volunteers who will give about 10 to 20 hours over a three-month period between mid-January and early March to examine programs, visit agencies and make funding recommendations. Each panel includes a Panel Chair, an Assistant Panel Chair and Panel Members. In addition to serving as a Panel Member, financial experts are asked to evaluate the responses to inquiries related to program budgets and financial documents. If you would like to join this incredible volunteer process to make a difference in your community, sign up online, email Mary Regnier at mary.regnier@uwcnm.org, or call Mary or Josefa Wall at 505-247-3671.
Serving on a panel is an effective way to influence funding for the most vulnerable. It’s a way in which you come to better understand the community and its people.
