Trustee Scholarship — UNFoundation

trustee sChOLARSHips are sometimes AVAILABLE.

Think 2-3 hours each month of your time invested into our grassroots community grant-making engine minus the financial commitment. Someone else has that covered. You bring your dedicated self to each monthly meeting after reading all the grant applications.

what do we expect?

Be present for all monthly trustee meetings for one year. We meet on the last Tuesday of each month at 6pm. We meet in person with the option to join virtually if you’re traveling or unable to be there in the flesh. Adult beverages are usually on hand. Except for Dry January.
Learn about what we do and support us as we work to improve our ability to connect to your represented community. Be engaged. Be vocal. Teach us.
Talk about us to those in your community. Encourage others to apply by identifying potential applicants and advising them on how to win a grant.

You could be the face of philanthropy and directly contribute to making Chattanooga more awesome. are you in?

Trustee Sponsorship

Why do you want to be an UNFoundation trustee? What do you bring to the table?

We really want you to tell us why you're the person to represent your community. Hopefully, you want to give back and help others, but lay out why we should pick you.

How will you advocate for the interests, preferences, and needs of Chattanoogans who are often underrepresented in the philanthropic community as a trustee?

Please outline your perspective and connections you bring. i.e. Areas of expertise or experience as well as connections with local groups or organizations.

Do you commit to read all grant applications before the meeting each month?

Do you commit to attend, actively participate and vote in all of the monthly meetings while you are a trustee?

Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month (we move them sometimes during the holidays) from 6-7:30pm at different locations, usually downtown Chattanooga. We know life happens and there might be a situation or time in which you can’t make a meeting. If you are unable to make a meeting, your comments digitally (we share a Google doc the day of the meeting) and vote is required. Please recognize that inconsistent attendance could result in loss of scholarship at the discretion of the board.

Is there anything else we should know as we consider your application?
