Nominations Sought for Neighborhood Fund Allocation
Committee
In its rollout year, the Johns Hopkins Neighborhood
Fund, launched during the 2007 United
Way Campaign, brought in pledges of more than $164,000 from
staff and faculty interested in
contributing to the welfare of the communities surrounding
the Johns Hopkins campuses. Self-
nominations are now being sought for the committee that
will play a central role in determining how
best to distribute the funds.
The 2008 Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund Allocation
Committee will be made up of employees
representing the diversity of the Johns Hopkins
Institutions. The committee will evaluate and give
priority to grant applications to ensure that the assets of
the Neighborhood Fund are maximized so as
to best represent the interests of Johns Hopkins employees.
The Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund will provide
grants to organizations that serve members
of the communities surrounding the institutions' campuses
and that have a strong relationship with the
institution and its employees. The fund's mission is to
assist those in need, with a focus on addressing
the health, educational, public safety, employment and
community revitalization interests of residents.
Nominations to the committee are open to those who
contributed to the Neighborhood Fund,
with preference given to individuals with significant
involvement with community organizations. A
supervisor's signature will be needed on the nomination
form with agreement that the employee can
take part in three or four meetings during business hours
between February and August. The online
nomination form, as well as additional information about
the Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund, can be
found at
web.jhu.edu/uw.
Employees who do not have computer access may contact
the Office of Faculty, Staff and
Retiree Programs at 410-516-6060 for a paper nomination
