YOUR PARTNER FOR LOCAL IMPACT

well as our direct services.

The more than 150 programs selected to receive funding from UWM are reviewed and vetted by a team of volunteers and subject matter experts who participate on our Community Investment Review Teams (CIRT). This dedicated and diverse group of more than 100 individuals use their critical thinking and expertise to make funding recommendations in three primary categories: basic needs, education and financial stability. In their due-diligence review, CIRT volunteers provide a unique understanding of community needs and use an equity lens to make investment decisions that remove barriers and create opportunities across the Omaha-Council Blu s metro. With this year’s investments, UWM will support and provide more than six million services that will address the areas of basic needs, education and financial stability throughout our community.
