2009 Annual Report

MAKING A DIFFERENCE. United Way of Central Ohio 2009 Annual Report

Dear Friend, What will central Ohio be like in 2020? Will more of our young children be prepared to learn in kindergarten and successfully complete their school careers? Will more families have the skills and opportunities they need to be financially stable? Will more people lead healthy lifestyles and live in safe neighborhoods?

We believe the answer is “yes.” By working together and focusing our efforts on the areas where we can make the most significant difference, we believe that we can transform central Ohio over the next decade, and make great progress toward creating a community where everyone has the opportunities and resources to succeed.

To that end, our Board of Trustees and over 300 volunteer experts have spent the last year developing, discussing and refining concrete, measurable 10-year goals for achieving real and lasting change in each interconnected area of our work. We call them “Bold Goals,” because it will require bold action to achieve them.

We believe these goals represent a turning point for United Way and for our community. When our Board of Trustees adopted them in July it put a stake in the ground and announced that we are fully committed to achieving the broad progress that these goals outline.

Given the difficult economy we face, and the negative effect it has had on both health and human services and charitable giving, this was a tough decision to make. Tying ourselves so closely to these ambitious goals is not the easy path – but it is the right path. It is the path we need to take to create social change that will last for decades.

It is the path we must take to advance the common good.

As you read this annual report and consider the many ways you have helped our community progress over the past year through your support of United Way, please also think about how much more we can do over the next ten years.

You support United Way not just because you care, but because you want to get things done. You want clear, concrete progress. The Bold Goals are a way to focus our efforts to achieve that progress. But the only way to get there is by tapping into the collective will, wisdom and energy of our entire community. Individually we cannot meet this challenge, but together, united, we cannot help but succeed.

Sincerely,

Ann Pizzuti Chair, Board of Trustees United Way of Central Ohio

Janet E. Jackson President and CEO United Way of Central Ohio

Advancing the Common Good At United Way of Central Ohio we improve lives in our community. We call it advancing the common good. It’s about making a difference not just once, but on a lasting basis. Not just for today, but for tomorrow, too. And we invite everyone to be part of that change.

We look at the systemic problems in our community and gather a diverse group of experienced volunteers who help us figure out how to address them in a holistic way. Together, we make a plan to create the broad change we need, but focused on specific actions, clear goals, and progress checks along the way. And we educate and inform people about what we can accomplish, rallying them around a shared sense of purpose.

The end result is we move closer to realizing our vision of a community where we all have the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job; enough income to support a family through retirement; good health maintained throughout life; and a safe and decent place to live.

Our volunteers and donors understand that together we have the power to make a bigger difference than we ever could individually, and that the effect of our actions and donations are amplified and invested where they will do the most good.

To create effective change we hold ourselves and our partners accountable for achieving measurable, sustainable results in these areas:

EDUCATION • Young children enter kindergarten physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively prepared to succeed • Youth graduate from high school well-prepared for additional learning and productive careers

INCOME • People achieve financial stability • People in crisis have access to emergency food, shelter and financial assistance

HEALTH • People overcome barriers to accessing health and wellness services • People maintain healthy nutrition and physical fitness • The community is prepared to respond to disasters and emergencies in a coordinated and comprehensive way

HOME • People live in safe neighborhoods • People live in safe and decent housing

Bold Goals For the first time in its history, United Way of Central Ohio has established ambitious but attainable ten-year goals for achieving real, lasting change in central Ohio. The nine bold goals, approved by United Way’s Board of Trustees in July, 2009, are designed to deliver the kind of measurable, sustainable results that will improve lives in our community now and in the future.

The goals were developed by a diverse group of more than 300 volunteer experts working together with United Way staff. They are based on the strategies laid out in the strategic framework that guides United Way’s work and focuses on the areas of education, income, health and home.

Education

Income

Kindergarten Readiness:

Financial Stability:

Increase the percentage of young children entering kindergarten in Franklin County public school districts who score in the top two screening categories of the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment – Literacy (KRA-L) from 71% to 85%.

Reduce by 20% the number of households in Franklin County living below an income level that allows them to meet basic needs.

High School Graduation: Increase the percentage of students who graduate from high school in Franklin County public school districts from 87% to 95%.

Emergency Assistance: Ensure that 100% of the people who access our community emergency support systems receive food, shelter or short-term financial assistance.

Health

Home

Barriers to Care:

Safe Neighborhoods:

Reduce by half the percentage of people in Franklin County without a regular source of health care.

Reduce crime by 30% in five priority neighborhoods — Franklinton, King-Lincoln, Northland, Near South Side and Weinland Park.

Nutrition and Fitness: Increase the number of people in the Columbus metropolitan area who achieve a healthy weight to rank among the top 5 comparable communities in the United States.

Disaster and Emergency Preparedness: Prepare one in three Franklin County residents to respond to community-wide disasters and individual emergencies.

Safe and Decent Housing: Reduce vacant and abandoned housing by one-third in five priority neighborhoods — Franklinton, King-Lincoln, Northland, Near South Side and Weinland Park.

How I LIVE UNITED

I’m Linh, from Columbus.

Helping kids has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. In addition to teaching, I also tutor at St. Stephen’s Community House five days a week. A lot of the kids I work with don’t have a great support system at home so I engage them in new and challenging opportunities.

I try to build confidence in the kids I tutor so they realize they can rise above their circumstances.

It’s often just small things: helping them pass a spelling test, solve a math problem or finish a science project. Once they are confident and know they can succeed, there is no stopping them.

They can graduate from high school, go to college or find a job.

Children need someone in their lives to listen to them, challenge them, and just be there for them.

I work with kids and give them the guidance and encouragement they need to rise above their situations. That’s how I LIVE UNITED.

Education United Way of Central Ohio, Action for Children and the Columbus Metropolitan Library launched the Ready to Read program which shows parents and caregivers how to effectively teach pre-literacy skills that prepare young children for kindergarten. In 2008, Ready to Read workshops helped over 1,200 parents and caregivers and 100 teachers.

Born Learning, the parent education component of United Way’s Start Smart early learning initiative, began a partnership with the Columbus Urban League’s Father 2 Father program to instruct young fathers on effective ways to teach and nurture their children. 157 fathers have graduated from the program since the partnership began.

United Way invests more than $8.4 million in programs designed to ensure that youth graduate from high school well-prepared for additional learning and productive careers. One program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio’s Project Mentor, provided one-on-one mentoring for over 1,700 at-risk students in the Columbus City Schools.

Income United Way is a key partner in the Franklin County EITC Coalition which provides free tax preparation services to low- and moderate-income households. In just three years of operation, the Coalition has more than doubled the returns filed from less than 2,000 in 2007 to over 4,000 in 2009. Likewise, the amount of refunds has risen from less than $2 million in 2007 to over $4.6 million this year. Additionally, the Coalition estimates that it saved its clients over $950,000 in tax preparation and refund anticipation loan fees. This money helps hardworking people build assets and financial stability and is especially important during the current economic downturn.

In its first year of operation, the Family Stability Collaborative helped 212 families avoid homelessness and keep their children in school. Specially trained professionals work with each family to develop comprehensive plans that set short- and long-term goals to build lasting stability. They help the families meet their goals by serving as liaisons with landlords, utility companies and schools and by linking them to services like health care and financial literacy training. The Siemer Family Foundation originally proposed the collaborative and provides generous support.

United Way dedicated more than $2.3 million to programs that provided food, shelter and emergency assistance over the past year, including investments in Rebuilding Lives, one of the most successful supportive housing initiatives in the country.

Health United Way provided over $2 million to fund programs that linked nearly 3,800 people to health care services. One program serving clients with chronic diseases helped connect over 1,000 people to much needed care such as physician visits, laboratory tests, mental health care, and pharmacy services.

United Way helped launch the Happy Healthy Preschoolers program, which identifies overweight preschoolers in areas of Franklin County with the highest childhood obesity rates and works with families to help them adopt healthier lifestyles. Six program sites are now open and three more are scheduled to open by 2010.

Collaborative partners include the Central Benefits Health Care Foundation, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus City Schools, Columbus Public Health, The Ohio State University School of Public Health, and YMCA of Central Ohio.

United Way provided $2.1 million in funding for disaster preparedness and response services.

These funds assisted people in recovering from emergencies like Hurricane Ike, which struck central Ohio in September, 2008, and helped our community prepare for potential future disasters.

Home Neighborhood Partnership Grants engaged over 1,700 volunteers in 61 different community-based projects, representing $330,000 in investments. These grants are a result of a partnership between United Way, The Columbus Foundation and the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation. Additionally, 784 participants completed 63 trainings or workshops hosted by the Neighborhood Training Academy, which helps residents learn how to improve the safety and appearance of their neighborhoods.

United Way led the effort to save the Mobile Tool Library which the City of Columbus planned to eliminate to meet needed budget cuts. The 4,500 tools in the library are used free of charge by 3,100 individual members and 100 nonprofit agencies for low-cost home maintenance and improvements. The program was moved to a United Way agency, ReBuilding Together Central Ohio. The City of Columbus donated the entire inventory of tools valued at $160,000.

Give. Advocate. Volunteer.

United Way of Central Ohio’s donors contributed over $51 million to advance the common good and create lasting change, despite the historic economic downturn we have experienced over the last year.

United Way is developing The Women’s Leadership Council, a group that will bring committed women together to develop partnerships that address unmet needs in our community.

United Way is creating Pride Council, a new group of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community members who will use their talents and enthusiasm to help create a community where everyone’s contributions are welcomed and valued.

United Way worked to protect state funding for early care and education programs by rallying support through advocacy alerts, meeting with public officials, and providing public testimony. Even though Ohio’s early care and education system suffered disappointing cuts, funding reductions would have been significantly larger without the tremendous outcry from early childhood advocates.

In October 2008, United Way of Central Ohio launched GenNext, a group where young community-minded volunteers come together and help advance the common good. The group has grown to over 400 members and completed six service projects, including planting an urban garden for a community kitchen, and helping to renovate a house for use as a neighborhood center for art and community gatherings.

United Way of Central Ohio’s 17th annual Community Care Day mobilized nearly 4,000 volunteers from more than 85 local companies and government agencies to accomplish 200 projects at local nonprofit agencies and schools. Held just days after Hurricane Ike caused severe damage to central Ohio, volunteers were able to provide much-needed storm clean-up. Community Care Day is the largest single volunteering event in central Ohio.

For the first time in its history, United Way opened its funding process to all 501c3 nonprofit health and human service agencies in Franklin County. The aim behind this competitive process is to ensure that the best programs that support education, income, health and home in central Ohio are funded.

In December 2008, United Way received 376 proposals from 117 agencies requesting program funding.

89 agencies, including 28 new potential partners, were selected to move forward to the final proposal stage.

After a thorough review, funding decisions will be made by United Way’s Board of Trustees in November 2009 and new program funding will begin January 1, 2010.

How I LIVE UNITED

I’m David, from New Albany.

I’m a born advocate. I represent clients on policy matters such as equal rights and health care reform before the Ohio General Assembly, and state agencies and departments.

I’m committed to making my voice heard on issues I’m passionate about – like those that will improve the lives of people in our community. I serve as the Chair of the Public Policy Committee at United Way of Central Ohio. I help advance local policies that address the needs in our community – like improving the financial stability of low- and moderate-income households and building safe neighborhoods.

I see my involvement with United Way as an investment in the community. I want to help create long-lasting community change, and I know that by advocating on behalf of United Way, I’m doing just that. I’m making a difference in people’s lives. I’m helping make change happen.

I speak out. That’s how I LIVE UNITED.

How your contribution makes an impact United Way of Central Ohio would not be a successful agent for change without the trust and confidence of its donors and volunteers. To continue to earn that trust, we have established comprehensive accountability guidelines that are regularly reviewed by our Board of Trustees and Finance Committee. As part of our efforts to be both accountable and transparent in our operations, our annual audit and IRS Form 990 are available at our website, liveunitedcentralohio.org.

How I LIVE UNITED

I’m Doug, from Clintonville.

I’m an attorney for a downtown law firm. I ride my bike to and from work nearly every day. It’s around 20 miles roundtrip and averages out to about 100 miles per week.

I’m a huge supporter of people incorporating some sort of daily activity into their lives. For me, it’s biking. The percentage of people in Franklin County who are overweight, both adults and children, is astounding. I’m passionate about finding a solution to this problem.

At my law firm, I helped bring in “EcoBucks,” a reward program for employees who bike or walk to work. For every day they do this, they get $1.00. I’m also on United Way’s Nutrition and Fitness Committee. I work with a group of local volunteers and experts to create solutions that help people maintain healthy nutrition and physical fitness.

I care about people leading healthy lives, so I advocate for nutrition and fitness.

That’s how I LIVE UNITED.
