DEED Seeks Community Reviewers for Upcoming Grantmaking

9 Dec 2024


News

The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is looking to recruit roughly 100 community members to serve as grant reviewers for competitive workforce development grant programs in winter 2024-2025. Please consider applying to be a community reviewer today – or pass along this information to others in your networks! By maintaining high-quality standards and fostering collaboration, community reviewers contribute to the improvement of projects and the holistic growth of individuals and communities in Minnesota.

We're committed to including more diverse voices and perspectives in our grantmaking process. We believe a more inclusive process can help us make funding decisions that better support our commitment to reducing employment disparities in Minnesota by looking for community reviewers with lived experiences tied to DEED's competitive grants and who are aware of current challenges that job seekers face.
