Community Investment
Over 60 local volunteers are currently making site visits to area agencies for the Community Investment Process.United Way of the Piedmont invests donor dollars from the Community Impact Fund
through our Community Investment Process (CIP). The CIP is designed to provide
funding for specific programs delivered by non-profit organizations that can demonstrate
measurable results and impact on specific community issues. Funds provided through
CIP are intended to support the direct and indirect (management & general)
costs associated with the delivery of a specific program within an organization.
Community Impact dollars are not intended for capital expenses or an organization’s
general deficit funding.
Councils have been established to oversee community investment and community
initiatives within six specific priority areas. These councils are comprised
of community volunteers representing a variety of expertise and backgrounds.
Programs submitted by local agencies are evaluated annually by the appropriate
council who in turn provides the United Way’s Board of Directors with recommended
levels of investment. This evaluation is based on the Peter Drucker Foundation
for Nonprofit Management’s Five Question Format:
1. What is the program’s mission?
2. Who is the program’s customer? 3. What does the customer value? 4. What are the program’s results? 5. What is the program’s plan? Organization’s interested in receiving Community Impact Fund dollars submit a
detailed program application built around the Five Question Format for panel review.

Community Impact funding, please contact us at (864) 582-7556.
