Citizen Action Teams

The power of your gift is magnified through United Way of Northwest Michigan’s grant process.

Community volunteers make the grant decisions. More than 30 community citizens serve as United Way’s Citizen Action Teams, which we refer to as “CAT’s”.

These community citizen volunteers receive training and orientation. After carefully reviewing applications, they meet to interview applicants and score their proposals. They conscientiously and thoroughly discuss how to get the best results for the most local people in the most cost effective ways.

Thank you for your interest, our Citizen Action Teams have been filled for the Spring 2010 grant cycles. We may have a smaller grant award in the Fall in which we would need a few more people to serve, please check back for updates.

If you would like to be a member of our CAT Team please contact
