Agencies, Allocations and Partners

Planning & Allocations for 2023

Thank you to the Planning & Allocations Committee, led by co-chairs Megan Maurer and Eric Ratner, for all their time and commitment as they reviewed funding requests, considered community needs, and recommended important allocations for 2023.

Countless hours are spent by committee members meeting, reading, and reviewing requests— and then engaging in thoughtful, active conversations about community needs, funding requests, and community resources available to allocate from the Annual Campaign.
