AT THE START OF A THREE-YEAR CYCLE, AGENCIES APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS UNDER THE FOLLOWING IMPACT AREAS: EDUCATION, INCOME (FINANCIAL STABILITY) AND HEALTH. IN A THOROUGH EXPLANATION OF HOW THEY PLAN TO USE CURRENT YEAR'S PROGRAM FUNDING (AND HOW THEY USED THE PRIOR YEAR'S AWARD), THE APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE MEASURES IN THREE AREAS: 1) OUTPUTS OF THE PROGRAM (E.G. NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED, NUMBER OF HOURS PROVIDED, OR ANYTHING THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO DESCRIBE THE SCOPE OF THEIR WORK), 2) ANY EXTERNAL MEASURES OF PROGRAM QUALITY (I.E. LICENSURE, ACCREDITATION, OVERSIGHT, ETC.) AND 3) DATA ON PROGRAM OUTCOMES (I.E. HOW MUCH WAS DONE, HOW WELL WAS IT DONE, AND IS ANYONE BETTER OFF). IN ADDITION, APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING PROVIDE A COMPLETE SET OF CURRENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHICH ARE REVIEWED. APPLICATIONS RECEIVED AT THE START OF THE THREE-YEAR FUNDING CYCLE ARE REVIEWED BY THE VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY IMPACT TEAM. IN YEARS TWO AND THREE OF THE CYCLE, AGENCIES WITH FUNDED PROGRAMS REPORT ANNUALLY ON THE PROGRAMS. ANNUALLY THE COMMUNITY IMPACT TEAM REVIEWS THE APPLICATION AND/OR REPORTS AND RATES THE APPLICATIONS ON SPECIFIC CRITERIA, AND THEN RECOMMENDS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT EACH PROGRAM WILL RECEIVE. THE SCORES ARE SHARED WITH FUNDING APPLICANTS ALONG WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND CHANGES. FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE COMMUNITY IMPACT TEAMS ARE REVIEWED BY A VOLUNTEER OVERSIGHT COMMUNITY INVESTMENT COMMITTEE THAT LOOKS AT THE ENTIRE PORTFOLIO OF PROGRAM INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE SENDING THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON TO THE UNITED WAY OF NORTHWEST VERMONT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR FINAL APPROVAL. MIDWAY DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, THE COMMUNITY IMPACT TEAM ALSO MAKES MONITORING SITE VISITS AND/OR REVIEWS REPORTS FROM THE FUNDED PROGRAMS AND ASKS A STANDARD SET OF QUESTIONS ON HOW THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT, HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING, WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE PROGRAM CHANGES, ETC. IN ADDITION, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, PROGRAM PROVIDERS PARTNER WITH UNITED WAY IN COMMUNITY CHANGE INITIATIVES, AGENCY FORUMS, AFFINITY GROUPS WHERE PROGRAMS WORK TOWARD THE SAME TARGET OUTCOME, AS VOLUNTEERS ON COMMITTEES AND AS PROVIDERS OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNDED AGENCIES AND UNITED WAY OF NORTHWEST VERMONT IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE TYPICAL GRANT FUND RECIPIENT WITH GRANT FUNDER. AN ANNUAL REPORT OF HOW THE PROGRAM FUNDS ARE USED AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM IN MEETING TARGET OUTCOMES IS PART OF THE APPLICATION FOR FUNDING THE NEXT YEAR. DONOR DESIGNATED GIFTS FOR GENERAL SUPPORT ARE UNRESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO AN AGENCY AT THE DIRECTION OF THE DONOR(S) IN SUPPORT OF ITS GENERAL OPERATING COSTS. AGENCIES RECEIVING DONOR DESIGNATIONS MUST ANNUALLY VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH PROVISIONS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT AND VERIFY THEY ARE AN AGENCY IN GOOD STANDING AS AN IRC SECTION 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
