The Funding Committee is a short-term, ad hoc committee of the Governing Board that is being convened to create a standing policy for the Board regarding the allocation of funds.  The general consensus of the Governing is that the RFA process is of a competitive nature and is not in keeping with the collective impact model that the State has asked us to use, so we are working to create a process that is more in keeping with those standards.

This Committee will meet in person for their first meeting and then any additional meetings will be held remotely.  Governing Board members have volunteered to serve on this Committee, and they are:

Paul Smith, Strengthening Rural Families

Jennifer Moore, United Way of Benton & Lincoln Counties

Rebecca Cohen, Newport Public Library

Linell Wood, Coastal Pediatrics
