community investment Volunteers
Community Investment Review is our annual review process whereby we review and visit local nonprofits to ensure we are investing in the most effective nonprofit organizations. Every year, over 60 Darien residents help The Community Fund with its due diligence.
Volunteers are assigned to a panel (group) with of 6-7 other reviewers. Each panel will be asked to review 2-3 nonprofits. Volunteers attend a orientation session to learn about the process and the evaluation criteria. After reading and visiting the nonprofit organizations, panels will evaluate and prepare summary documents for each organization. At the conclusion, each panel presents their findings to The Community Fund’s Community Investments Executive Committee.
The community investment review process runs from approximately March 1 through May 1st. Each group meets approximately five times (including the 2-3 site visits), with an estimated total time commitment of 10-20 hours.
