Community Needs & Special Grants Committee
Community Needs and Special Grants reviews data on well-being in North County and annually recommends to NBUW's Board of Directors a Statement of Community Vision, Issues, and Priorities.  This statement becomes a guide for other committees in funding, membership, and other decisions.  CN&SG also oversees NBUW's efforts to help agencies secure grants from government offices, private corporations and foundations, and the Committee makes decisions regarding requests for special 1-time grants for local needs from NBUW's own funds.
Goals 03-04:

-Move the committee to a HIGHER level of functionality. Develop future chair.

-Refine statement of vision, issues, and priorities

-Support Berkshire Navigation

-Manage NBUW's grantwriting services. Fine tune the program to better suit the needs of member agencies

-Manage NBUW's one-time grant program. Improve agency awareness of NBUW grants opportunity
