Program Evaluation Panel
Program evaluation panel members serve on a specific focus area - Education, Financial Stability, Health, or Basic Needs/Crisis Services – and review applications for funding from local nonprofits. Panel members are advocates for clients who receive services, agencies that provide services, and the community at large. In addition, members act as stewards to ensure that UWHC funds are used wisely and responsibly. Panel members attend 3-4 two-hour meetings during February-April, and commit to about two hours of “homework” before each meeting.
