OUR MISSION Trident United Way is a catalyst for measurable community transformation through collective impact in education, financial stability and health.

OUR VISION Our tri-county region is extraordinary!

It is engaged, inclusive and thriving, and demands a high-quality educational system and economic conditions to eliminate the cycle of poverty, inspire graduation and foster lifelong good health.

All residents achieve their highest potential. Individuals, organizations and institutions are aligned and commit their human and financial resources to ensure this quality life.

LETTER FROM BOARD CHAIR

100% 100% of your donation to trident united way stays local and helps people.

0% of your donation goes to fundraising and administrative costs, leaves the lowcountry, or goes to national headquarters

guaranteed.

Thanks to seven corporate partners and the Trident United Way Endowment Fund.

In the healthcare world, we document everything we do.

There’s a saying in this industry: “If you didn’t chart it, you didn’t do it.” In hospitals, we track outcomes–how our patients do–and get rated on the results.

We all want human service charities to operate in the same way.

As donors, we want to know that the efforts we’re funding are producing positive results in people’s lives.

One reason I am proud to serve as Board Chair of Trident United Way is that this organization believes in rigorous evaluation to measure its effectiveness, and then reports back to us, the donors.

And so, I present to you Trident United Way’s Impact Report for 2013, which documents how OUR United Way is investing our contributions to strengthen Lowcountry community.

Thank you for supporting our mission with your donation.

Todd Gallati Board Chair, Trident United Way President and CEO, Trident Health

YOU ARE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER In 2012–2013, nearly 30,000 generous donors joined forces to create real, bold, long-lasting change.

TASHA, DESTINY & ZI’NESIA EDUCATION

Like many parents, Tasha Chandler drives her children to school every morning. But unlike most, she’s headed to class too. Tasha, a mother of two daughters attending Chicora Elementary School of Communications, completed her GED at Chicora in just a few months through Trident United Way’s Links to Success initiative.

Today, Tasha is a Certified Nursing Assistant and is halfway through a two year program for Occupational Therapy. Tasha is committed to providing a better life for her daughters and herself.

Tasha’s daughters, Destiny (10) and Zi’Nesia (7), are also benefiting from Links to Success by participating in programs that address academic, financial, and health issues facing students and their families. They’ve helped Destiny advance from struggling student to award-winner in academics and citizenship.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS One agency alone cannot transform our community. Real change requires us to work together with a single agenda toward the same goal. Trident United Way facilitates this type of collaboration and, in 2012–2013, supported more than 35 agencies running 50 programs through various supports, including: grants, infrastructure and guidance.

MICHELLE ARREDONDO FINANCIAL STABILITY

Michelle Arredondo, Executive Director of Helping Hands of Goose Creek, struggled with the process of applying for investments from Trident United Way. “Taking the step to outcomes and measures was intimidating. I fought it with every breath I took.”

She reluctantly persisted because the $40,000 investment was roughly 40% of her budget. It turned out to be much more than that. “By developing a logic model that described how we would help our clients move to the point where they don’t need us anymore, we had a template for other grants,” Arredondo said. “We were able to use that tool to attract $32,000 in new grants.”

Helping Hands now has a new van, a revamped warehouse, and a new cooler and freezer to hold fresh, nutritious produce. Each has increased Helping Hands’ capacity and efficiency in helping Berkeley County residents in need move up the ladder to financial stability. The Benefit Bank of SC, a strategic partner of Trident United Way, works with Helping Hands to sign up clients for eligible benefits.

And everyone who shops for food at the pantry takes a money management course taught by staff at Sun Trust Bank. “We see Helping Hands as the first stop on the road to self-sufficiency,” Arredondo said.

SHANTONE

FINANCIAL STABILITY When you meet Shantone, you might learn that he is 36 years old, enjoys working outdoors and is in the process of becoming “who he’s supposed to be in life.” What you might not realize is that his journey to get to where he is today was not an easy one.

Shantone had a desire to contribute to society and turn his life around following a stint in prison. After his release in November, he sought out self-help information and employment opportunities at the Berkeley Prosperity Center, a partnership of Trident United Way, Goodwill Industries, Inc., and Family Services, Inc. At the beginning of his job search, he struggled to find work due to his criminal record. Shantone met with a counselor at the Prosperity Center and expressed his interest in working outdoors.

The counselor was able to point him in the right direction and Shantone secured a job as a landscaper in Mount Pleasant just a few days after their meeting. “I heard the joy in his voice when he called to say he was hired,” said his counselor, Claritha Wade. Alston Wilkes Society helped him purchase work boots and pants, and Goodwill bought him a rain suit and work gloves. Shantone now has a desire to pay it forward and make a difference in the lives of others by being a mentor to local youth.

KEEP UP THE MOMENTUM Our community has already made progress toward the 2020 community goals established in 2010. We know that these goals are interdependent: healthy children living in financially stable homes are better able to succeed in school, which leads to better jobs, more financial resources and increased access to quality health care.

The efforts of business, schools and government working together to date have resulted in the following progress toward the community’s 2020 goals:

EDUCATION1

Community Goal: 88% of students will graduate on time

68% Graduation Rate in 2010 78% Graduation Rate in 2013 WHY MEASURE THIS: Educational attainment is highly correlated with income and other important outcomes including increased quality of life, according to a 2012 report by the Hamilton Project.

WHAT IT MEANS: The number of added students needing to graduate for an 88% graduation rate has declined from 1,360 to 661.

FINANCIAL STABILITY2

Community Goal: 30% of residents living in poverty will become financially stable

64.3 % of Residents were Financially Stable in 2010 65.3% of Residents were Financially Stable in 2012 WHY MEASURE THIS: Financial security is what moves families out of poverty and helps build their economic resilience when inevitable major expenses occur, according to a 2014 “Disrupting Poverty” report by the Paul Allen Family Foundation.

WHAT IT MEANS: Despite the economic downturn and high unemployment, more residents are beginning to attain financial stability.

HEALTH3

Community Goal: 25% more residents will adopt a healthy lifestyle and reduce preventable conditions

32% of Residents Living a Healthy Lifestyle in 2010 35% of Residents Living a Healthy Lifestyle in 2012 WHY MEASURE THIS: Health and longevity are profoundly influenced by where and how Americans learn, work and play, according to a report by Robert Wood Johnson’s Commission to Build a Healthier America.

WHAT IT MEANS: A cultural shift appears to be developing against smoking, sugary drinks and sedentary lifestyles and towards increased access to quality health care.

Source 1: Determined on time graduation rate by SC District Report Cards (www.ed.sc.gov). Source 2: Determined by the US Census as the number of individuals for whom poverty status is determined that are below 200% of the poverty level (www.census.gov). Source 3: Determined by the number of residents in recommended range for BMI as measured by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), SC-Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey Data (BRFSS) (www.cdc.gov/brfss).

LISA GETHARD HEALTH

When Lisa Gethard’s devastating pain and sickness became more than she could manage, she and her husband Scott had to quit their jobs to take care of her. “I had a high paying job and never thought something like this would happen to me” Lisa said. “It could happen to anyone.”

Lisa’s recovery became the couple’s top priority. The threat of homelessness was becoming more real every day because she required constant care. Scott and Lisa turned to Trident United Way and its partners – East Cooper Community Outreach and the Lowcountry Food Bank – for both financial assistance and support with Lisa’s health.

Lisa participated in a cooking class where she learned meal planning, budgeting and nutrition. She took yogic breathing classes that taught her exercises to lower blood pressure, destress and manage pain. She is now more independent, healthy and active, which has allowed Scott to return to work and restore their life on Daniel Island.

INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE

8,942

OUR FUTURE Living United has evolved. We do not just pool our money to fund individual efforts anymore. We ask our partners to pool their best practices, innovations and best people. We need everyone – businesses, schools, government, and nonprofits – to come to the table and, together, strategize how to address education, financial stability, and health.

It is formally known as COLLECTIVE IMPACT.

INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS

COLLABORATION

COLLECTIVE IMPACT

Supporting this collective impact framework is rigorous and comprehensive evaluation. In 2013, the Social Innovation Board, a group of investors dedicated to seeking and advancing community-wide solutions, subsidized the adoption of a sophisticated evaluation system.

In the future the new evaluation will allow Trident United Way to identify the most effective strategies in order to scale and accelerate their impact.
