2007 annual report
vision: to be the leading organization building a stronger, healthier, and more compassionate community.
United Way of Central Oklahoma is creating lasting changes in our community. No longer just a fundraising organization, United Way is on the front lines of some of our most pressing problems. While providing critical funding to results-oriented programs at proven non-profit organizations will always be a central part of our work, increasingly we find ourselves being called upon to address needs even more directly. From helping to write our community’s disaster response plan, to addressing the startling number of high school dropouts, United Way stands ready. We harness the power of 50,000 local donors, thousands of volunteers, corporate and government partners, and outstanding non-profit Partner Agencies to meet the needs of 300,000 local people each year. Working together, we’re creating opportunities for a better life for everyone in central Oklahoma.

Luke Corbett 2007-2008 Board Chairman
I’ve had the opportunity to serve United Way of Central Oklahoma in many ways, but none has been more rewarding than my role as Board Chairman. This position has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the inner workings of the organization and to see the outstanding leadership from volunteers and staff. This year, we fine tuned our focus on what matters most to our community. Education, health and financial well-being all contribute to a good quality of life. Therefore, United Way developed our five Focus Areas: Successful Kids, Strong Families, Healthy Citizens, Independent Living and Community Preparedness. An investment in United Way is an investment in these five areas, ultimately creating a better life for all. As part of our commitment to Community Preparedness, United Way became an integral part of one of our city’s largest emergency response projects, the December 2007 ice storm. United Way joined the City of Oklahoma City, American Red Cross and many other service organizations to shelter and feed the thousands of central Oklahomans who were without power. United Way also worked with OGE Energy Corp. to help residents restore power to damaged meter boxes at their homes. It is no surprise to me the tremendous work donors and volunteers accomplish through United Way, but seeing it first hand gives me great pride. You should be proud of your investment in your community; it’s one of the best you can make. Sincerely,

Vital Signs effectively identifies the most current community needs, allowing our agency to help address those needs, and then easily measure the results of our efforts. The experts at United Way have given us the tool, and using it is simply a win-win situation for all.

In 2007, United Way published the 10th edition of Oklahoma County Vital Signs, a broad-based evaluation of the quality of life in central Oklahoma. For more than a decade, Vital Signs has tracked changing conditions biennially in six key areas offering our citizens a comprehensive review of our overall well-being. Though the 2007 data revealed many positive indicators, we also found negative trends that demand attention and action.
Vital Signs tracks data in the following categories: More than 100 community leaders attended the Vital Signs release breakfast where the most recent data was presented for the first time.
Beth Patterson, Executive Director, RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) of Central Oklahoma, United Way Partner Agency
Among the positive trends, the report showed that our personal income and home ownership rates are up along with our levels of education, contributions to charity, and voting rates. However, domestic violence reports are increasing, access to reliable transportation is more difficult, and most concerning, more children are living in poverty. A small sample of the data is included here. For a complete copy of the report, visit unitedwayokc.org or call us at 405-236-8441.

More than any other data sets, the statistics regarding students eligible for free and reduced price lunch by school district as well as public school drop out rates caused the greatest expressions of concern from citizens. Coupled with the increase in the numbers of children living below the Federal Poverty Line, Vital Signs confirms a critical need to maintain and enhance our focus on Successful Kids.

This fall, United Way and other partners hosted a Student Success Summit offering local teens an opportunity to dialogue about dropout rates and other issues facing students, as well as to discuss motivational strategies for staying in school. Based on the input of the more than 200 9th grade student attendees, United Way is leading the implementation of the plan created as a result of the summit.

Oklahoma City was selected for its accomplishments with “MAPS for Kids,” United Way of Central Oklahoma’s Children and Youth Summit, and Smart Start Central Oklahoma, a public-private partnership to help prepare children for entering school, housed at United Way. A 100 Best Community must fulfill Five Promises offering the fundamental resources our children and youth need to succeed: caring adults who are actively involved in their lives; safe places in which to learn and grow; a healthy start toward adulthood; an effective education that builds marketable skills; and opportunities to help others.

strong families
Aaron and her four daughters spent years living from situation to situation because she never “knew how” to live on her own. After living with relatives in a onebedroom apartment, Aaron and her girls discovered Neighborhood Services Organization (NSO), a United Way Partner Agency that provides housing and educational services to low-income individuals.
14
Aaron and the girls moved into their own apartment at Martha’s House, a supported housing project of NSO. During her time there, Aaron’s daughters attended school at Positive Tomorrows, a United Way Partner Agency focused on the educational needs of children in crisis. At the same time, Aaron attended NSO programs training her to be self-sufficient, financially stable and a good mother. Through Community Action Agency’s down payment assistance program, Aaron was able to save $6,000 for her first home. Today, Aaron is working as a Certified Nurse Assistant and she and her daughters are living in their own home. Aaron is very proud of her new space and of the progress she and her children have made. Aaron has found financial stability and her daughters have a brighter future thanks to life-changing programs funded by United Way donors.
United Way strengthens families by providing resources to achieve financial stability as well as access to counseling, debt management, education, job training, and housing.

healthy citizens
At just 16-years-old, Cora visited Variety Health Center, a United Way Partner Agency, to confirm that she was pregnant. She was terrified and knew her parents would be angry. Fortunately, Variety offered the support she needed. Cora received advice about talking with her parents as well as information about health care plans, alternative schooling, family support and prenatal care.
16
Accompanied by her mother, Cora came to Variety throughout her pregnancy for comprehensive prenatal care. After Cora’s daughter, Kaley, was born, Cora received nutrition education and supplemental foods, through Variety’s WIC (Women Infants Children) Program. Kaley also received all her well-child exams and immunizations at Variety’s Pediatric Clinic. Four years later, Cora and Kaley are both doing well. Cora graduated from high school as a valedictorian and went on to earn a degree from OKC Community College. Today, she has a job in health care and is married to Kaley’s father. Kaley is a happy, healthy little girl who likes going for bike rides with her mom. Cora and Kaley are just two of the more than 17,000 individual patients Variety serves each year. United Way is proud to fund this and other health care programs that provide important medical care to un- or under-insured citizens.
United Way is focused on Healthy Citizens so that central Oklahomans have access to physical and mental health care and adopt healthy lifestyles while important medical research is funded.

David Afonso is profoundly deaf, but he hasn’t let that stop him from becoming a hardworking, awardnominated employee. In 2006, David visited Dale Rogers Training Center (DRTC), a United Way Partner Agency focused on vocational training and employment services for individuals with disabilities, seeking job placement assistance. He was accepted to the program and assigned a job coach, who helped him through the application and interview process with Lockheed Martin Distribution Center.
18
It wasn’t long before Lockheed knew they had an extraordinary candidate. David was hired through the DRTC program to unpack and sort thousands of aircraft and engine parts. He quickly excelled and was hired directly by Lockheed to manage all material bins for the Engine Kitting area. Now in charge of 15 Bench Stock locations, comprised of nearly 6,000 bins, David has the highest bin fill rate of any Oklahoma City section at 99.99 percent. David’s supervisor, Bill Morgan, was so impressed by David’s dedication and hard work that he nominated him for Lockheed’s Special Recognition Award. “These guys work hard, have fun and are a part of our Lockheed family. We appreciate them and the work they do. They have skills and abilities that most people wouldn’t see without the unique relationship we have with DRTC. We are proud to have them on our team,” brags Morgan about the three DRTC employees currently stationed at Lockheed.

community preparedness
The ice storm of December 2007 left hundreds of thousands of people without power for days. Thanks to United Way’s historic focus on Community Preparedness and our strong relationships with other response organizations, we were prepared to act quickly and efficiently.
PARTNER AGENCY
United Way, the American Red Cross, and the City of Oklahoma City opened a joint community shelter at the Cox Convention Center which housed and fed thousands of people over eight days.
20
2-1-1, an easy to remember number to call for help, took more than 75,000 calls in the days following the storm. The service was fully operational thanks to funding from United Way and others. As power was restored, United Way worked with OGE Energy Corp. and our local cities to help residents with damaged meter boxes at their homes. In addition, we led the collaborative effort to open a central Disaster Recovery Center to aid families who were unable to re-stock lost groceries, afford electric meter box repairs and handle tree and debris removal. United Way continues to lead the effort to refine our community’s emergency response plan. In collaboration with government offices, non-profits, and businesses, we work year-round to ensure our readiness to act in a disaster.
United Way is working to ensure our readiness to respond to individual and community emergencies.

I have been a United Way donor and volunteer for 17 years, serving in the Community Investment process and now as Chair of the Audit Committee on the Board. My involvement in these areas has given me a great deal of insight into the high level of accountability our United Way provides. I have the utmost level of confidence as a donor that the funds invested in our community each year are utilized in the most effective and efficient manner.
U
United Way of Central Oklahoma maintains the highest level of accountability. In addition to exceeding our own national Standards of Excellence, we openly report our financial standings to the community each year. We are committed to transparency by providing our annual report, audit, campaign dollars raised, and dollars invested in local programs to the news media, the public, and most
importantly, our donors. With more than 60,000 local investors interested in the impact of their contributions, we are as committed as ever to being good stewards of the funds entrusted to us.

On an annual basis, United Way secures critical funding for local health and human service programs. Thankfully, tens of thousands of donors heed the call and invest with us. 2007 was a banner year. Led by volunteer campaign chairs Larry and Polly Nichols, more than 60,000 local donors contributed a record $18 million. Individuals who make a pledge of support through payroll deduction at their workplace continue to be our largest source of giving.

Though our fundraising campaign may be one of our most readily identified activities, many are unaware that we manage six unique campaigns simultaneously. We are proud to provide an accountable and efficient means for employees of private business as well as government offices to contribute to charity at the workplace.

United Way of Central Oklahoma is committed to responsible stewardship. We are mindful donors invest with us because they want to help their community, not pay for advertising. Therefore, we rely on dedicated volunteers to make calls on local media outlets to donate time and space to broadcast our message. The following local media outlets are to be commended for donating over $2 million in media value to United Way in 2007.

My wife, Polly, and I were honored to chair the 2007 United Way campaign.

our stewardship The above information has been extracted from the December 31, 2007 audited financial statement. A complete copy of the audited financial statement is available upon request.

After 15 years in our current facility, United Way had outgrown the space available in the historic Mayfair Apartment building at 1315 N. Broadway Place. An extensive three-year search of existing building space led to the purchase of the old University Place Christian Church at NW 28th Street and McKinley Avenue.
28
The new headquarters will support more effective and extensive services to the community, include meeting and conference facilities to further the work of local non-profits, and reduce United Way’s overall overhead through energy efficient technologies.

A building committee led by members of United Way’s board of directors guided the search, purchase, and renovation of the facility. As always, United Way maintained its commitment to fiscal responsibility carefully evaluating costs and securing specially committed funding to cover them. Building renovations began in March 2008 with an expected occupancy date of December.
our future The new headquarters is nearly completed in November 2008 (above and left).

I applaud United Way of Central Oklahoma in its outstanding efforts in addressing the needs of those less fortunate in the community. With this combination of prudent foresight and compassion, I think our community can have a very bright future indeed.
