Initially, the founding board will serve as the grant committee and, along with the Foundation for Roanoke Valley, will issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to those organizations with 501(c)(3) status. The grant committee will review and consider projects and evaluate grant proposals. Ballots will be mailed to all members after deciding which organizations will be selected to appear on the ballot (up to 10 proposals will go to the full membership). The amount of money available to award from The RWF is directly proportional to the size of the membership. We expect that projects selected for funding will, over time, reflect the diverse interests of the membership.
