Dear Friends,
volunteers have continued to focus on the issues of School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult SelfSufficiency. Rooted in the legacy of community leaders over a century ago, we come together to collectively change the lives of those who call Denver and the metropolitan community home.
The needs of our community are clear. More than 154,000 Coloradoans reached out last year for help. One-third of our children are not reading at grade level by third grade, our graduation rates are not what we aspire for our young people, 60% of our homeless population are women and children, and we have the fastest growing rate of child poverty in the country. Yet the answers are just as clear. We know what works.
As we look forward to a new year and celebrating our 125th Anniversary as the first United Way in the country, we welcome the leadership of Peter BeauprĂŠ, President and COO, PCL Construction Enterprises, as the new chair of our Board of Trustees. Peter and PCL Construction Enterprises have long been champions of Mile High United Way and our community and will secure the foundation for our next 125 years.
We are proud to support over two hundred non-profit partners who are working every day to bridge that gap between our hopes and aspirations and the realities for too many of our neighbors. We deeply hold on to the belief that every child has the right to learn, every student deserves the support to succeed in the classroom, and every individual and every family deserves the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to build a brighter future.
Thank you for showing us all how to LIVE UNITED. Best Regards,
Christine Benero President and CEO Mile High United Way

SUCCESS ADVANCING THE COMMON
GOOD
Mile High United Way is committed to advancing the common good in three key initiative areas: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self-Sufficiency. We believe all children should enter kindergarten ready to learn and be able to read at grade level, or beyond, by the third grade. We believe in the potential of our youth and that all students should graduate from high school ready for college or to transition into advanced training and the workforce. We believe all individuals and families should be afforded the opportunity to move toward economic self-sufficiency and to live at or above the Colorado Self-Sufficiency Standard.
SCHOOL READINESS Eighty-five percent of a child’s brain is developed by age five. Children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words before they reach kindergarden than their wealthier peers. Mile High United Way’s School Readiness Initiative provides thousands of children from low-income families access to high quality early education so they enter school ready to learn and build the skills necessary to read at or above grade level by third grade. The Initiative also provides their teachers with ongoing training to improve their knowledge and skills.
SPECIAL NEEDS FOR SUCCESS
William and his family.

Three-year-old William is a bright child with sensory issues. Certain sights, sounds - even smells - can send him into a rage. Traditional preschools and daycares weren’t equipped to provide him with the support he needed. He wasn’t learning. He wasn’t progressing. Then William’s parents found help through Mile High United Way’s partner agency Children’s Outreach Project; a nonprofit therapeutic preschool and child care center that offers integrated, quality, early childhood education to typical accelerated and developmentally delayed children. Now, William is thriving and on the road to success in the classroom and in life. When we LIVE UNITED children like William have the support they need to learn and grow.
Last year Mile High United Way’s School Readiness Initiative helped 44,000 young children, like William, receive quality early childhood education.

YOUTH SUCCESS Colorado’s graduation rate is 78%. Fifty percent of Denver students don’t graduate. Mile High United Way’s Youth Success Initiative provides thousands of students access to mentoring, quality afterschool programs, tutoring and dropout prevention, gang and violence intervention programs. Students who participate in mentoring programs are 90% more likely to advance to the next grade and 75% more likely to graduate from high school.
HAPPY TRAILS TO PROMISING LIVES
Juan Marquez and Sazian Reid from Mile High Youth Corps.
Juan and Sazian both struggled as teenagers. Juan became a teen father. Sazian dropped out of school. They were both going nowhere fast until, with the help of Mile High United Way’s partner agency Mile High Youth Corps, an organization that helps youth make a difference in themselves and their community through meaningful community service opportunities and educational experiences, they got a second chance and are working, learning and planning for college. When we LIVE UNITED young men and women graduate from high school prepared for career training, higher education and life.
Last year Mile High United Way’s Youth Success Initiative helped 41,000 youth, like Juan and Sazian, succeed.
ADULT SELF-SUFFICIENCY More than 48,000 working Colorado families live in poverty. Fourty-one percent of low-income workers are parents supporting families but do not make enough to meet basic needs: child care, clothing, health care, housing and transportation without assistance. Colorado has the fastest growing rate of children in poverty in the country. Mile High United Way’s Adult Self-Sufficiency Initiative provides individuals and families with the tools and resources necessary to become financially stable and self-sufficient. Communities will thrive based on how well they cultivate and retain knowledgable and skilled workers with an entrepreneural approach to work and career management.
BUILDING A SELF-SUFFICIENT LIFE
Wayne Haefele in business thanks to an Individual Development Account.
Wayne’s construction business was floundering. He didn’t know what to do. Then he heard about Mile High United Way’s Individual Development Accounts, a program that provides matching savings accounts and financial and business education. Wayne got back on track and turned his business around. When we LIVE UNITED individuals and families have the resources and support they need to become self-sufficient.
Last year Mile High United Way’s Adult Self-Sufficiency Initiative helped 460,000 individuals and families, like Wayne, move toward self-sufficiency.

IMPACT MILE HIGH UNITED WAY
LED PROGRAMS Mile High United Way is a catalyst for social change. Last year, Mile High United Way invested in programs and collaborations that provided our community with resources that help advance the common good such as: • United Way’s 2-1-1- the one number to call to get help with health and human services needs • Bridging the Gap - providing youth in foster care critical life skills training • Individual Development Accounts - matched savings accounts used to purchase a home, pay for secondary education or build a thriving business

Get Connected. Get Answers.
United Way’s 2-1-1 Call Center Launched in October of 2003, 2-1-1 is the one number to call to get help. 2-1-1 brings together thousands of services in the community from emergency shelters to quality child care and after-school programs all in one free and convenient service. Trained referral specialists are bilingual and available 24 hours a day/7days a week. Last year more than 150,000 Coloradoans called 2-1-1 to get help. The top needs for assistance: rental and utility assistance, transportation, and food.

Bridging the Gap Colorado has 13,000 children in foster care. More than one-third of those children are between the ages of 14 and 21. Mile High United Way’s Bridging the Gap Program was developed in 2005 to address the challenges faced by foster youth as they transition to adulthood. Bridging the Gap focuses on serving foster youth aged 14-23, providing them with critical education, employment and financial literacy skills. Foster youth Kree Burks-Moore wants to become a doctor. Bridging the Gap’s Inspiration Junkies gives her the opportunity to ask questions and receive advice on how best to accomplish her dream.
Last year more than 491 foster youth participated in the program and 100 volunteers provided hands-on support.
Individual Development Accounts As a step toward self-sufficiency, the Individual Development Accounts program (IDA) is a matched savings program designed to assist low-income individuals and families build financial assets to purchase a home, start or grow a small business, or pay for college tuition or vocational education. Mile High United Way leverages individual gifts and federal contributions to fund the IDA program. For every dollar saved by a participant, Mile High United Way matches it with four dollars. The maximum savings amount is $1,000. The maximum match is $4,000 over two years. Jaylynn and Marquies Whisenton got help starting their business and now they’re giving back.
IDAs are available to income-qualifying participants who participate in the program for a minimum of six months after opening an account, complete the approved, basic financial education classes, finish classes related to savings goals and provide documentation for a qualified purchase. Last year 296 people participated in the IDA program; 128 of them used their savings to purchase a home, invest in their small business and pay for postsecondary education.

INFLUENCE
In 2010, Mile High United Way supported three bills in the Colorado State Legislature: the Income Tax - Child Care Contribution Credit (HB 11-1014), Reducing Youth Homelessness (HB 11-1079) and Protection for Youth in Foster Care (SB 11-120).
Income Tax - Child Care Contribution Credit HB 11-1014—Colorado Revised Statute 39-22-121 Signed in to law by Governor John Hickenlooper on June 2, 2011 the Income Tax-Child Care Contribution Credit extends The Child Care Contribution Credit established in 1999, which provides a 50% state tax credit for any contributions made to a qualifying child care organization. This incentive improves our economy and creates economic growth. Anyone who makes a monetary contribution to promote child care is eligible for a 50% tax credit when filing a Colorado income tax return.

Reducing Youth Homelessness HB 11-1079—Colorado Revised Statute 19-3-205 The Reducing Youth Homelessness Act made changes to Colorado’s treatment of homeless youth in order to bring Colorado into compliance with the federal “Runaway and Homeless Youth Act.” The most dramatic change was the expansion of the category of individuals who qualify as runaway and homeless youth from non-developmentally disabled homeless individuals, aged 15 to 18, to include homeless individuals from 11 to 21 years old. In addition, the Act provides for county court review of each case of a 17 year old homeless youth to determine whether the individual is prepared to become independent at the age of 18 or should remain under the monitoring and support of the county until the age of 21. The Act also increased the number of facilities capable of temporarily housing homeless youths by authorizing the State Board of Human Services to establish licensed host families.

Protection for Youth in Foster Care SB 11-120—Colorado Revised Statute 19-7-101 The Protection for Youth in Foster Care Act creates a foster youth bill of rights that outlines a set of laws for the protection of children in foster care and also sets a standard of care for all children who enter the foster care system. The Act applies to all children in, or who will enter, foster care.

Society and Councils Mile High United Way’s Tocqueville Society is delivering help and hope by serving as a model of philanthropic giving and change, not just in one person’s life, but in the future of the community. The Tocqueville Society is comprised of a powerful group of local business and civic leaders who generously contribute $10,000 or more per year to create a strong and healthy community in metro Denver.

Tocqueville Society members participate and engage with the community through meaningful networking, education and social events such as, the First Tuesday Breakfast series, quarterly CEO luncheons and holiday events.

FLEUR DE LIS AWARD
For the first time in its history, Mile High United Way’s Tocqueville Society has been awarded the Fleur de Lis Award from United Way Worldwide. The Fleur de Lis Awards for Excellence are presented each year at a special recognition event to local Tocqueville Societies that excel in the following categories:
Most Tocqueville dollars for community impact Growth of Tocqueville dollars for community impact over previous year Percentage of renewed Tocqueville gifts that increased by 10% over previous year Most Tocqueville members Most New Million Dollar Roundtable gift commitments Most National Society members Net change in total members Number of new Tocqueville Legacy Circle commitments Most women Tocqueville donors
Mile High United Way’s Tocqueville Society is a powerful group of local business and civic leaders who individually contribute $10,000 or more to Mile High United Way each year. This year’s success is attributed to the leadership of the Tocqueville Society Committee, who encouraged more than 30% of members to increase their annual gift by 10%, with many stepping up to Summit ($15,000 annually) and Champions ($25,000+ annually). Much of the additional dollars donated were directed to Mile High United Way’s Community Impact Fund to help advance the common good in the Denver metro area through three inter-related initiatives – School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self-Sufficiency. Last year, 280 proposals totaling $33 million in requests came from 260 organizations. The 10% Club gifts helped fund many of these urgent needs.
