Citizens’ Review Panel for Human Services
The Citizens’ Review Panel Advisory Board is composed of community volunteers who are appointed by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to serve on the Citizens’ Review Panel for Human Services. The Advisory Board members play a critical role in the CRP Fund Distribution Process by independently reviewing funding proposals, scoring applications, and developing funding recommendations based on the merits of each submission.
All proposals submitted during each funding cycle are reviewed through a structured and transparent evaluation process. Applications are thoroughly evaluated and scored using established evaluation criteria to ensure consistency, fairness, and alignment with identified community priorities. Please note that all funding recommendations are preliminary and remain subject to the resolution of any agency appeals. Recommendations may also change based on the availability of funds.
In the event of any conflict, inconsistency, or omission between a submitted proposal and the applicable Scope of Services or Program requirements, the provisions of the Scope of Services or Program requirements shall prevail. Respondents awarded funding are expected to comply with all applicable terms, conditions, and contractual requirements. Through this process, CRP grant funding enables nonprofit organizations to deliver vital services that support the health, safety, and well-being of children, youth, and their families throughout Orange County.
