What do you do at United Way of Central Minnesota?
As Director of Grants Management for United Way of Central Minnesota. I oversee the grant processes to ensure pre and post award systems are running efficiently and effectively.
What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?
Because funders want and need to ensure that the grants they award will actually be put to their intended uses, create sustainable changes and follow their stipulated requirements. The overall process of the grant writing cycle (because it is so detailed) is truly what I enjoy.
