Track change over time and determine if the work of agencies is having impact. Inform our community investment (allocations to agencies and programs) decisions. Evaluate our "portfolio" of partner agencies ensuring we are meeting our community's greatest needs. Build a board that reflects the makeup of our community. On-going assessment of how UWPC allocates donors’ contributions to best address the needs in Payne County is of utmost importance and the cornerstone to our long-standing commitment to accountability. This community status report is part of fulfilling that commitment.
