Ways to be Involved

Interested in expanding your Impact? Consider joining one of our committees:

Review and Finance Committees

Grant Review Committee:

Review and discuss applications from nonprofit organizations during each stage of the grant review process — Initial Proposal, Full Proposal and Site Visit — in order to choose a Finalist to present their project for a vote at our Annual Meeting Celebration in the spring.

Join one Grant Review Committee from the available group of Grant Review Committees announced in the fall.
All Grant Review Committees meet three times and attend two Site Visits.
Training session required for new committee members.
Grant writers and nonprofit employees: If you work with a nonprofit organization that applies for an Impact100 Grant during a given grant cycle, you may not participate on a Grant Review Committee or the Finance Committee, and you may not attend any first round site visits.

Impact Boost:

Be part of a team to interview smaller nonprofit organizations that are looking for funds to boost their Impact in the Westchester community. Our committee will all read the results of the interviews and then meet in late April to choose Finalists to present to our membership for voting. No prior Grant or Finance Review Committee experience is needed.

Finance Committee:

Discuss and evaluate financial health of Nonprofits' that submit Full Proposals, focusing on the viability of the NP and identifying financial questions/issues for Grant Review Committees.
