The Community Investment Committee will give heavier weight to programs that foster collaboration between nonprofits, direct service programs and other entities.
• Invitations to submit a full admissions application will be sent based on letters of intent and the funding cycle.
• The admissions cycle may take 1-2 years.
• Programs invited to submit a letter of intent may be eligible to receive a small amount of seed money prior to completing the one-year admissions cycle. These programs will be reviewed by the Community Investment Committee and UWCC Board of Trustees.
