Dear Friends, Many words come to mind when I reflect on our work in 2012. Hopeful and connected are two, but the one that best describes it is promise. Promise for a brighter future for the families starting new lives, off the streets and in a safe place they can call home; for the parent preparing to secure a better job and become financially stable; and for our Destination Graduation students who are on the path to reach their full potential. It’s these examples of promise, success, and self-sufficiency that keep the LIVE UNITED movement going year after year. But none of them would be possible without your generosity and commitment to our cause to advance the common good. Because of your investment in our mission, the promise of a stronger community is being realized. Because of you, in 2012, we were able to assist more than 195,000 residents in need of a fresh start, renewed hope, and a hand up. It is also because of you that we set out to chart a new course for change last year through our strategic planning and community engagement process. At Orange County United Way, we know that the road to creating a stronger community is not one we travel alone. For nearly 90 years, we have united people and organizations from across Orange County who bring the passion, expertise, and resources needed to get things done. It was with this sentiment that we launched our strategic planning effort … an ambitious road map to create a stronger, more vibrant Orange County. Why did we do this? Like all organizations, nonprofits must continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of the community that they serve. After listening to those deeply involved in and supportive of our work being done in Education, Income, Health, and Housing, we realized it was time to put some bold goals behind our focus areas and also put the idea of Collective Impact into practice. Through Collective Impact—working together to achieve what no one person, organization, or company can do alone— we can do powerful, life-changing, and community-transforming things. In order to “make good” on our promise to strengthen Orange County, we need your continued support. Our neighbors and our community are counting on us to keep fighting the good fight to advance the common good. We hope you will be part of the change, stay involved, and continue to GIVE, ADVOCATE, and VOLUNTEER. Thanks for your support. Let’s keep the LIVE UNITED movement and momentum going. With gratitude,
Max L. Gardner President and CEO
UNITED WAY WORKS to ensure that all Orange County residents achieve their fullest potential by focusing on Education, Income, Health, and Housing—the Building Blocks for a good quality of life. Since 1924, our community has entrusted us to connect people and businesses with opportunities to Give, Advocate, and Volunteer. Through community investments directed to the needs of today as well as long-term strategic goals, we are effectively and efficiently strengthening our overall community by improving the lives of our neighbors in need.
WHILE 2011 WAS MOSTLY ABOUT REPAIRING THE DAMAGE TO LIVES DEVASTATED BY THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, in 2012, we focused on building new bridges to strengthen Orange County—taking a bold
step in a new direction to examine ways we can fulfill our mission to improve lives and strengthen Orange County. Through our six-month strategic planning and community engagement process, we brought together nonprofit leaders, issue experts, corporate and agency partners, and donors to evaluate our community’s unique social needs in the areas of Education, Income, Heath, and Housing. While safe shelter and secure housing has always been part of our overall work, we decided to examine the issue separately to determine what effect it has on our residents’ ability to live successful, independent lives. In addition to having in-depth community conversations with thought leaders, we also invited the public to be part of the change through an online survey so they could share their perspective on which social issues they felt were a priority for our residents, and how we should address them moving forward. What we learned was eye-opening, informative, and inspiring and will inform our community goals for the next 10 years. In 2013, we'll finalize and share these goals with you and unveil our plans for achieving them. During this period of transformation, we will remain true to our mission by mobilizing the caring power of people like you, people who care and want to be part of the change to strengthen OUR community. It is only through continuing to pool our resources, talent, time, and passion that we can have Collective Impact and accomplish what no one person, organization, or company can do alone. We can do it. We will do it.
AT ORANGE COUNTY UNITED WAY, we know that the road to creating a stronger community is not one we travel alone. For nearly 90 years, we have united people and organizations from across Orange County who bring the passion, expertise, and resources needed to get things done. It is with this sentiment that we set out to develop a strategic plan … an ambitious road map to create a stronger, more vibrant Orange County.

OUR FOCUS
ORANGE COUNTY UNITED WAY ADDRESSES OUR COMMUNITY’S COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES THROUGH A MULTILAYERED APPROACH FOCUSED ON EDUCATION, INCOME, HEALTH, AND HOUSING— the Building Blocks for a good quality of life. This includes funding, through our Community Impact Grant Program, Orange County nonprofits that are making significant progress to effect change in our focus areas, developing and managing community initiatives, establishing partnerships with leading companies and organizations, developing innovative macro and micro programs to impact those in need, and advocating and volunteering to improve lives and strengthen our community.
EDUCATION. INCOME. HEALTH. HOUSING. DESTINATION GRADUATION HOPE. OPPORTUNITY. EXPOSURE. That’s what Orange County United Way’s Education initiative, Destination Graduation, provides to 1,800 at-risk youth in the high-need communities of Anaheim, Huntington Beach, and Santa Ana. Created in 2010 to improve Orange County’s dropout rate, Destination Graduation is a unique countywide partnership that’s providing high school students (many of whom will be the first in their family to go to college) and their teachers with an enhanced academic support program that includes teacher training, career exploration opportunities, field trips, on-site career exposure mobile units, parental engagement training, and connections to local Orange County corporations. Expanded in 2012 to include three middle schools, Destination Graduation is inspiring and empowering the next generation of leaders, making sure they graduate from high school both college and career ready.

BANKING ON THE FUTURE EARN IT. KEEP IT. SAVE IT. Designed to link low-income families to a better, brighter, and more financially stable and independent future, this comprehensive program offers information and access to eligible tax credits, free tax preparation services, financial literacy education, and low-cost mainstream banking services (Bank On). In 2012, more than 3,400 of our neighbors in need received financial literacy education services, and more than 4,000 bank accounts were opened, moving people into mainstream banking and away from predatory lenders.

OC VITA—FREE TAX PREPARATION CAMPAIGN REINVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY. Each year, millions of hard-working individuals and families miss out on their share of close to $60 million in funds specifically designated by the federal government to help lift them out of poverty. To make sure Orange County taxpayers claim all the eligible federal and state tax credits available to help them, Orange County United Way leads the OC Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program each tax season. Noted as a national model for VITA services, this program increases our residents’ financial knowledge and provides them with access to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Through partnerships with the IRS, AARP, more than 20 nonprofits across Orange County, and local churches, high schools, and colleges, OCUW offers free tax filing services through IRS-certified volunteers. And the program is paying off: In 2012, nearly 7,500 people used the service, resulting in $10 million in tax refunds and $3.4 million in EITC refunds, which was reinvested into our local economy, and $1 million saved in filing fees. For more information, please visit www.unitedwayoc.org/free-tax-preparation. LEAD SUPPORTER: The Boeing Company SUPPORTER: Bank of America 8 | ORANGE COUNTY UNITED WAY
WOMEN’S PHILANTHROPY FUND GRANT PROGRAM LIVE UNITED LADIES LEADING THE CHANGE. Developed by members of the OCUW Women's Philanthropy Fund, this grant program helps to “fill in the gaps” to self-sufficiency experienced by women and girls in Orange County. The program provides much-needed micro grants to nonprofits to help them step in and take care of issues that can derail an individual’s progress on the road to independence, including car repairs, child care, scholarships, and education materials. For the last two years, the program has granted more than $305,423 to help women and girls in our community thrive. For more information, visit www.unitedwayoc.org/womens-philanthropy-fund/1.
ORANGE COUNTY HOMELESS FAMILY WINTER TRANSITIONAL SHELTER PROGRAM A SAFE AND SECURE PLACE. When the weather turns cold, many of Orange County’s homeless families find themselves with no place to turn for help. Orange County United Way works with local funders and leaders to address the needs of homeless families in Orange County. The Orange County United Way− funded Homeless Family Winter Transitional Shelter Program makes sure that families with children, and pregnant women, are immediately moved from the Winter Armory to a safer shelter and provided with case-managed care that will result in permanent housing solutions. Service providers include Illumination Foundation and Mercy House. Since the program began in 2010, it has placed more than 139 families in stable housing.
COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANTS IT TAKES A VILLAGE. At Orange County United Way, we believe in uniting people and organizations from all across the community who bring the passion, expertise, and resources needed to get things done. Through our Community Impact Grant Program, we partner with 87 leading service providers to support the immediate Education, Income, Health, and Housing needs of Orange County. Whether it’s food for families struggling to make ends meet, a safe and secure place for children to lay their heads at night, or delivering critical healthcare services to the elderly, our partner agencies work every day to address the greatest needs in Orange County. Selected through a competitive grant application and review process, our funded partners must meet and maintain 25 standards of leadership, fiscal, and program service accountability in order to gain and maintain the LIVE UNITED stamp of approval. In 2012, nearly $5 million was granted to make a positive impact in Orange County. In addition to supporting these programs with three-year grants (2011-2013), United Way also provides training and resources designed to develop the business and leadership capacity of our partners, and the nonprofit sector as a whole, by building: Leadership Capacity Funding Resources Program Capacity Collaborations Technical Capacity Visit www.unitedwayoc.org/our-partner-agencies-0 to see the list of our current partners.

MEET OUR NEIGHBOR
GISEL MARMOLEJO
If you had met Gisel Marmolejo, a sophomore at Westminster High School, three years ago, she would have been the last person you would’ve chosen to be a student advocate for education. It wasn’t that Gisel was a bad student—she maintained a 3.2 GPA—but she had behavioral problems that were veering her away from the path to a successful future: the path to graduation. “I was the future high school dropout,” says Marmolejo. Because of the close relationship Gisel developed with her principal by being in his office so often, he realized her potential and enrolled her in Advancement Via Individual Determination (A.V.I.D.) classes—part of our high school dropout prevention curriculum, Destination Graduation. After her first year as a DG scholar, Gisel says, “I found myself with a 4.0 GPA, and only one visit to the office. That visit was to receive my Masonic award, which is given to only two people in every district for good grades, good deeds, and good citizenship.” ANNUAL REPORT | 11
At Orange County United Way, we know that without financial stability, it’s impossible to thrive. To create a healthier, more vibrant, and stronger community, collectively, we must get OUR local friends and families employed, financially literate, and contributing to our local economy. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED. Through your generosity, we were able to mobilize the caring power of our 13 income partner agencies and our Income initiative, Banking on the Future, and take firm steps to get more than 20,600 of our neighbors in need on the pathway to financial independence.

MEET OUR NEIGHBOR
ANTONIO MONJE
Imagine being in debt, having no job, and then being the victim of identity theft. A bad dream for most of us; a reality for our neighbor, Antonio. An out-of-work electrician whose challenges were compounded by his wife’s inability to work due to a medical condition and the responsibility of caring for his elderly mother, Antonio was in a desperate emotional and financial place. But since visiting SparkPoint OC, our financial empowerment center, he’s getting back on the right financial track, searching for a new job, and learning how to better manage his finances and keep watch over his credit. “They give me a hand on each situation—a goal to fix my credit … and they tell me what I have to do step by step, working together. But I have to do my part, too. It has been the helping hand that has lifted me and made me believe in myself."

THE SULSONA FAMILY
Homelessness became all too real to the Sulsonas, after being forced out of their rented Irvine townhome when the property owners made a quick sale in 2011. With nowhere to go, Rich, his wife, Christine, and their three children camped at O’Neill Regional Park from June through October, moving around campsites after they stayed the maximum number of nights allowed, and sometimes sleeping in their car. Still, Rich worked full-time and shuttled his kids between their campsite and their Irvine schools. They contacted several organizations for help, but were consistently told that the family would have a better chance of receiving aid if Rich and Christine were divorced. But with the help of Illumination Foundation (IF), an OCUW health partner agency, the Sulsonas were able to stay together, and moved from the campground into a Costa Mesa motel through IF’s transitional housing services. Soon after, IF helped the family put a deposit on an apartment in South Orange County, securing for them a stable home filled with hope and happiness. Thanks to the network of support offered by Orange County United Way, the Sulsona family has a new lease on life. ANNUAL REPORT | 13
