area, we came together with our community partners, service providers, donors and other community leaders to implement a new funding process that called upon organizations seeking support to demonstrate how their services aligned with our three focus areas: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self-Sufficiency. More than 280 organizations responded to our request for proposals totaling $33 million in requested funding.

We are deeply grateful to the volunteers and to the donors who contribute to Mile High United Way. Your continued support and commitment is making a difference in thousands of people’s lives. As we look forward, we are poised to make a deep impact in addresssing the needs of our community. The leadership of Scott Binder, as the new chairman of our Board of Trustees, will take us to new heights. Scott’s passion for our community and his commitment to volunteerism inspires all of us. We are in great hands.

Personally, it has been a privilege for us to work with all of you over the past two years. Thank you for your support. Together we are advancing the common good and taking strategic action to create lasting change in our community.

School Readiness Initiative at Work

SCHOOL READINESS INITIATIVE

Mileah “She already knows her colors and numbers and she knows basic sign language,” says new mom Genevieve of her daughter Mileah. “I am so grateful for that.”

That’s saying a lot considering Mileah was born to a drug-addicted mom. Seven months pregnant and in jail, Genevieve was given the choice of giving birth behind bars or entering a unique program called Baby Haven, a residential drug treatment and recovery program, supported by Mile High United Way. Baby Haven helps moms and babies alike. Moms like Genevieve learn how to deal with their addictions and become responsible, caring parents. Babies like Mileah receive quality early care and education from birth.

“When I hear her laugh or see her face, I smile,” says Genevieve. “I know she is happy, healthy and prepared to do well in school. She’s only 2-years-old.”

Each year, Mile High United Way’s School Readiness Initiative provides thousands of children from low-income families, access to high quality early education, their teachers with on going training to improve their knowledge and skills and much more.

School Readiness Goals: • Young children in low-income families enter school ready to succeed and are prepared for a lifetime of learning • Children in low-income families enter school with the skills and support needed to succeed and are reading at or above grade level by the 3rd grade • Parents and caregivers have the resources and skills to successfully support the children and youth in their care • Early childhood care and education classrooms achieve a three-or-four-star-rating based on the Qualistar rating system. Qualistar measures quality in licensed early learning programs, both home and center based, that serve children birth to kindergarten • Increase the number of low-income children having access to high quality early care and education

Mile High United Way Led Programs School Readiness Case Study

Starting Small–Making a Big Difference

Making Connections Denver, School Readiness Impact Plan Objective: Young Children in low income families enter school ready to succeed and are prepared for a lifetime of learning.

Profile of Harrington Harrington Elementary School is located in Northeast Denver in the Cole-Clayton neighborhood.

a collaboration with Mile High United Way and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is working with Harrington Elementary School to advance early grade success strategies. Harrington has formed a Literacy Action Committee to monitor the progress of striving readers in 2nd and 3rd grades; one-on-one and small group instruction; after-school and summer school programs like the nationally acclaimed Summer Scholars program, and hired an attendance paraprofessional who works with parents to reduce chronic absences.

Impact Area Goal: Children in low income families enter school with the skills and support needed to succeed and are reading at or above grade level.

Harrington serves: • 475 students of which 308 are Pre-kindergarten-3rd Grade • 95% of students are eligible to receive free or reduced lunch • 94% of students are minorities Harrington is focused on providing targeted outreach and interventions for school readiness, parent engagement and grade level reading. Program highlights include: • Implementation of Early Excellence/Play and Learn, a program for children under four. The goal is to increase student learning and achievement by helping parents prepare their young children for school. At Harrington 98 children and 80 families enrolled in the Early Excellence/ Play and Learn program • The ability for students to enroll in full day early childhood education with the inclusion of three early childhood education classrooms

To meet the targets of increasing 3rd-grade reading proficiency to 68% and reducing absenteeism rates from 12% to 6% in the 2009-2010 school year Harrington has put in place: • A literacy teacher for 2nd and 3rd grade students • A strategic literacy team, which meets every six weeks to monitor the progress of individual students • A Saturday school expansion, which includes focused vocabulary training for English language learners • An attendance paraprofessional who works with families on the importance of getting children to school • A liaison who works with parents on skills they can practice at home to support their child’s success at school

Children Reaching Their Potential At Harrington: • 80% of parents attend family literacy nights • 3rd grade reading CSAP scores have increased 14% over the last three years • Absenteeism has decreased from 12% to 6%

YOUTH SUCCESS INITIATIVE

Walter

Mile High United Way’s

Beyond Foster Care

Walter was a model student who just didn’t fit into a traditional public school.

Colorado

has 13,000 children in foster care - more than a third of those are between the ages of 14 and 21. Annually, an average of 400 young people will “age out” of the foster care system. Many of these youth lack the skills, support, education and confidence to be successful.

He tried to make it through high school and failed. He dropped out and was in danger of never completing his education.

Thanks to Mile High United Way and our community partner Colorado Youth for a Change, he’s back in school and on

The Cost of Lost Potential

track to graduate and attend college.

“I think I can safely say I never thought I could succeed in school,” says Walter, “but now here I am and I can’t wait to graduate and start college classes.”

• One in four foster youth will be incarcerated within the first two years after they leave the system.

• A history of foster care is related to becoming homeless at an earlier age and remaining homeless for a longer period of time than the overall homeless population. One-fifth of children in foster care will become homeless at some time after age 18.

Youth Success Goals: Each year, Mile High United Way’s Youth Success Initiative provides thousands of students access to mentoring, quality after school programs, tutoring and dropout prevention, gang and violence intervention

• School-age, low-income and under-served youth succeed academically, graduate from high school and are ready to transition to college or advanced training

• Young women in foster care are 2.5 times more likely than their peers to have been pregnant by the age of 19.

• Parents and caregivers have the skills and resources to successfully guide and support their children through the elementary, middle and high school years

• Only 58% of foster youth will earn a high school degree by age 19, compared to 87% of non-foster youth.

• 90% or more of the participants in youth success programs progress to the next grade level on time

• Foster youth are more than twice as likely to drop out of high school.

• 75% of youth success program participants graduate from high school

• Less then 3% of foster youth who age out of foster care, or are over the age of 25, earn their college degrees, compared to 28% of the general population.

• Participants have a school attendance rate of at least 90% or better

programs.

Mile High United Way’s Bridging the Gap Program provides foster youth with: • Financial education classes that teach youth to balance a checkbook and manage their expenses • Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), matched savings accounts available through Mile High United Way, that help foster youth build financial security • Housing assistance that help foster youth find safe, affordable, stable housing • Employment and career exploration assistance that includes job shadowing, work-study, volunteer work and career mentors • Education scholarships that help foster youth take advantage of higher education opportunities

Making A Difference A recent national evaluation of the logic model used by Mile High United Way’s Bridging the Gap program found a cost savings of $6.50 for every $1.00 invested: • 86% of foster youth in the Bridging the Gap Program have graduated from high school. A higher precentage than the Colorado graduation rate (74.6%) • 83% of Bridging the Gap Program participants, regardless of the number of foster youth placements they have had, say they now have a caring adult to turn to for support • 50% of Bridging the Gap Program participants have enrolled in higher education compared to 14% of foster youth nationally • To date, of the 700 foster youth in the Bridging the Gap Program, 425 have opened IDAs

Sylvia

ADULT SELF-SUFFICIENCY INITIATIVE

Sylvia says she can’t believe how her life has changed.

She once was a prisoner in her own home, the victim of an abusive relationship with no hope of escape.

Now she is a confident, self-sufficient woman with a steady job and a loving family.

She gives the credit to Mile High United Way’s support of Work Options for Women for her success. The program gives impoverished women the chance to gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed through hands-on training in the food service industry.

“I was once a victim and now I am the victor,” says Sylvia, ”and for that, I am grateful.”

Adult Self-Sufficiency Goals: Every day, Mile High United Way’s Adult Self-Sufficiency Initiative is helping people by providing job training and workforce development, financial education and

Individual Development Accounts Simple and Effective

Neighborhood-Based Economic Building Blocks

The Matched Savings Program

Economic Prosperity Center at King M. Trimble

is designed to assist low-income families to purchase a home, to attend post-secondary education or to start or expand a small business.

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY CENTER

How It Works

Creating Futures • More than 11% of Coloradoans live below the poverty level.

Many struggle to provide essentials like food and shelter for themselves and their families. Mile High United Way offers a unique program, Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), that is working to change those statistics.

• IDAs are matched savings accounts designed to help people build assets as a step toward self-sufficiency.

• IDAs are available to income-qualifying participants.

• The program dates back to 1999 when, working with community partners, Mile High United Way began offering the program as an important building block for a good quality of life.

Mile High United Way leverages individual gifts and federal contributions to fund its IDA program.

• Participate in the program for a minimum of six months after opening an account

INVEST IN YOURSELF

• Every $1 saved is matched by $4

King M. Trimble

• Maximum savings amount is $1,000 • Maximum match is $4,000 • Maximum savings period is 24 months • Complete approved, basic financial education classes • Finish classes related to savings goal

Those who use the Center can take advantage of classroom instruction, financial education workshops, assessment tools, referrals and many other activities designed to help them find jobs, move up the career ladder and grow their savings.

• Provide documentation for a qualified purchase to access matched funds

How Savings Can Be Used

The Center is supported by Mile High United Way, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Denver Office of Economic Development, the Denver Housing Authority, and the Denver Asset Building Coalition.

• To purchase a home (first time home buyers only) • To start or grow a small business • To pay college tuition or for vocational education for yourself or a dependent King Trimble’s wife, Dixie, and son, Omari, attended the opening of The King Trimble Economic Prosperity Center (Right) named in his honor.

Last year the IDA program fulfilled 121 withdrawal requests: • 80 were put to use toward post-secondary educational expenses like tuition • 23 were used for starting or expanding a small business • 18 were used for a down payment on a first home

Mile High United Way Makes Getting and Giving Help One Phone Call Away

Mile High United Way Advocating for Coloradoans Most In Need

Last Year, Get Connected. Get Answers.

Over the past year,

the average caller to United Way’s 2-1-1 looked like this: Female, 25-39 years-of-age, mother of one or more children, with an income of less than $417 per month, looking for rental assistance. Help for them, and countless more people in need, was just a phone call away.

Mile High United Way officially launched 2-1-1 in October of 2003.

The Place to Find Help Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1 is the place to call to give help and to get help. Here are just some of the more than 6,000 community services referrals available through 2-1-1: • Licensed Childcare Providers in the nine-county Denver Metropolitan Area • Rental/Utility Bill Assistance • Housing/Emergency Shelter • Food and Clothing Banks • Mental Health Assistance • Dealing with and Preventing Abuse • GED and ESL Classes • Suicide Intervention and Prevention • Medical Clinics • Pharmacy Prescription Assistance • Senior Services • Youth Programs • Support Groups

The idea was simple. Provide the people in our community with one place where they may go to find help or to give help.

Stephanie Sanchez testifying for the 2-1-1 check-off before Colorado lawmakers.

2-1-1 brings together thousands of services in the community–from emergency shelters to quality childcare and after-school programs–all in one free and convenient service.

Trained referral specialists are bilingual and available 24-hours-a-day/7-days-a-week.

Making A Difference Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1 regularly follows up with callers to see if they received the help they needed and how they felt about their experience with 2-1-1.

The measure passed the Colorado legislature with unanimous support. On June 7, 2010, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed it into law.

While the satisfaction numbers are high, the number of callers who received the help they needed from the referrals provided is low and demonstrates how much the need in our community is outweighing the available resources.

Foster Youth

Last year: • 98% of 2-1-1 clients would recommend 2-1-1 to a family member or friend in need

Governor Ritter signing the foster youth bill into law.

• 97% of 2-1-1 clients were satisfied with the 2-1-1 service they received

Previous to Mile High United Way’s advocacy efforts, Colorado youth in foster care were routinely denied the opportunity to receive the classroom portion of drivers education because many of them had no one willing to accept the responsibility and liability of signing the paperwork. Thus, they were denied the opportunity to obtain a valid drivers license.

Thanks to expert testimony and personal stories from foster youth, Colorado lawmakers voted to waive the requirement that foster youth complete an affidavit of liability before taking drivers education. Now, the barrier to driving and having a drivers license is gone. Colorado foster youth have one less challenge to overcome on their journey to becoming independent, self-sufficient members of the community.

• 41% of 2-1-1 clients who followed up on referrals received the help they needed

Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1 is one of a network of seven 2-1-1 call centers in Colorado. You can help support Colorado 2-1-1 by making a contribution when you complete your 2010 Colorado State income tax filing. Just check the box marked “Colorado 2-1-1 First Call For Help Fund.”

2-1-1 Testifying before Colorado lawmakers to call for their support in adding Colorado 2-1-1 to the nonprofit check-off section of the Colorado State Income Tax form. Inclusion in the checkoff program would potentially provide thousands of dollars in support of the statewide network of 2-1-1 call centers which provide hundreds of thousands of human services referrals each year to Coloradoans in need and at times of disaster.

• Legal Assistance • Subsidized Spay/Neuter Clinics

Mile High United Way successfully ramped up advocacy efforts on two major fronts, adding 2-1-1 to the nonprofit check-off section of the state income tax form and waiving the requirement that foster youth complete an affidavit of liability before taking drivers education. We also continue to champion the Colorado Child Care Contribution tax credit as a key strategy for improving early childhood programs.
