Check back in June 2023 for instructions on how to apply for the next volunteer Community Grant Reviewer opportunity.

A potential community grant reviewer cannot participate in the review process if there is a conflict of interest. 

A conflict of interest is any situation in which your judgement, actions, or non-action may, might, or could be interpreted to be influenced by something that would benefit you or your organization. The situation may exist directly (when you or your organization gain something) or indirectly (when a friend, relative, or acquaintance receives something). Conflicts of interest may be actual or potential, or may appear as such.

You may not serve as a reviewer if you have any other biases that may hinder your ability to fairly and objectively rate an applicant’s proposal.

You must sign an agreement indicating you do not have a conflict of interest. If, while reviewing applications, you discover you have a conflict of interest as a reviewer, you must notify the department’s grant coordinator immediately.
