Sign up to review scholarship applications
PFund’s scholarships are one of our most popular programs. In 2023, we awarded a record $132,000+ to 54 queer students in or from the Upper Midwest. We rely on dozens of volunteers each year to read, rank, and review scholarship applications and make recommendations on scholarship awards to the PFund board. This fully-remote volunteering opportunity is a great way to give back the LGBTQ+ community.
We have all the volunteers we need for 2024 scholarship reviewers. We anticipate recruiting our next round of scholarship reviewers in early 2025 and will update this page when that happens.

Become a community grant reviewer
Unlike many other community foundations, the majority of grants awarded by PFund Foundation are done so via a community review process that draws on volunteers from the community with specialized expertise (i.e. for our grants for queer-owned small businesses, we prefer to have reviewers with experience in business or entrepreneurship). All grant review meetings are held virtually so this a fully-remote volunteer opportunity. Click here to learn more about becoming a community grant reviewer panelist.
