Neighborhood Success Warren Grant Making Committee

Warren Grant Making Committee

Neighborhood SUCCESS is guided by a Grant Making Committee made up of residents, who broadly represent the diversity of cultures and ideas expressed in the community at large. Members are provided the opportunity to further develop their leadership skills, interact with fellow residents and strengthen communities through their work. Collectively, the group will review all submitted grant applications and make final funding decisions.

Committee Responsibilities:

1. Represent The Raymond John Wean Foundation and the Neighborhood SUCCESS Grants Program in a positive manner
2. Participate in orientation, training sessions and meetings as scheduled
3. Read and rate applications
4. Work within a group to make decisions
