UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MARYLAND
W
e thought 2008 was a difficult year economically; however, 2009 provided even more challenges. But as we write this, on the cusp of yet another year, we truly believe it is about blank pages and new opportunity. At United Way of Central Maryland, it is that hope for new opportunity that guides our work and our mission. It is the hope for a better life for all people in this region that drives our staff and volunteers. And we know it is that hope for a better community that compels you to continue to help when it’s needed most. We thank you for that hope and generosity and look forward to starting the new year with blank pages ready to be filled with new dreams and aspirations. In fact, we encourage you to take those pages in this report and write down your goals for United Way and our community. Share them with us, share them with each other. Together, we can continue to make meaningful changes for people across the region. Over and over again, we’re asked, “Why United Way?” Our answer? Because no one organization can do it alone. We unite your concerns, your time and your philanthropy with those of others so we can accomplish more. We have the scope, expertise and influence to form collaborations with nonprofit organizations, private companies and public partners. The result is wider-reaching cooperative efforts that effect change on a variety of levels. But we also depend on key people – like you and our invaluable volunteers. Last campaign, those dedicated and committed individuals were led by our Campaign Co-Chairs, Roger Calvert and Julie Mercer, and our Vision Council Chair, Pat Day. We thank them and we thank you. Despite the tough times, there were actually plenty of highlights in fiscal year 2009. • In January, the community came together to support our Emergency Response Fund. Thanks to the outpouring of support from businesses, foundations and individuals, we distributed more than $680,000 to agencies on the front lines who were dealing with increased demand for help. Every dollar raised was distributed back out to the community. • This year, our impact work continued to grow. Because of the economy, we streamlined our education, income and health initiatives – focusing on stabilizing families and helping to provide them with essential services. We expanded key partnerships with local, state and nonprofit partners, even working with Baltimore City to distribute nearly $9.5 million in federal stimulus funds. • Understanding that this was a difficult year not just for agencies, but for donors as well, we took the bold move of lowering our designation fee. The goal was to help motivate more people to give and to help agencies receive increased designations. By sacrificing in other areas, we were able to reduce the fee to a flat five percent. That means a possible extra $400,000 for agencies. You’ll find details about all these highlights and more later in this report. But above all, we wanted to start this 2008-2009 annual report with an optimistic vision and a thank you. Because of you, we do see a better, brighter future. Because of you, we are United Way. We look forward to your continued support. Sincerely,
Larry E. Walton President and Chief Professional Officer

Central Maryland continued to focus on helping people facing tough choices. To focus on education, income and health. That meant providing survival resources and ensuring families had safe, affordable housing and the support needed to keep it; subsidizing child care for toddlers and providing before and afterschool activities for youth so parents can afford to work knowing their children are safe, learning and mentored; and helping to offer refuge, through shelter, legal protection and other core services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse – problems that tend to rise in families enduring economic pressures.

UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MARYLAND
Education United Way of Central Maryland wants every child in central Maryland to enter kindergarten fully ready to learn and every youth to develop to their full potential, becoming young adults who are economically self-sufficient. United Way works towards this goal through direct funding, collaborations, research and other activities across the region. • Last year, 2,119 youth received services to help prevent them from dropping out of high school. • There are currently several efforts in Baltimore City seeking to provide low-income children with a chance to succeed. One model, Promise Neighborhoods, is based on the combined development of high-quality, comprehensive, coordinated neighborhood-based programs for children, youth, young adults and parents. Each neighborhood would create a pipeline of accessible, linked, best practice programs. United Way has been convening a group to examine ways in which all involved can partner. Other collaborators include: Baltimore City’s Mayor’s Office, Dr. Andrés Alonso and Michael Sarbanes from Baltimore City Public Schools, Family League, Friends of the Family, Living Classrooms, Annie E. Casey Foundation, East Baltimore Development Corporation and Enterprise Community Partners. • United Way is also a member of the Ready At Five board, representing Maryland Business Roundtable’s early childhood arm. It’s a statewide, public/private partnership and a powerful, independent voice for young children. Ready At Five monitors, advocates and serves as a catalyst for systemic change to improve the care and education of Maryland’s young children. • In collaboration with the Mott Foundation, United Way supports the Maryland Out of School Time Network (MOST). It is a network of citizens and organized groups working collectively to campaign for 1) resources, 2) training and 3) effective policies to ensure all children and youth in Maryland have access to activities in the out of school hours that enable them to achieve in all stages of their development. As a member of the steering committee, United Way also helps assure the network meets its goals of leveraging additional funding to ensure every young person in Maryland has productive and positive out of school time opportunities, advancing policies that foster these activities and decreasing the barriers for young people to access them. • Through our work with several additional partners, United Way is able to help with even more programs that help teach and mentor children and their families. Hundreds of low-income children under the age of six, in Baltimore City and Carroll and Harford counties, received quality early childhood education experiences through Catholic Charities’ Head Start and Early Head Start. Services were provided to ensure that children had complete physical examinations and immunization records with appropriate follow-up care, including dental care.
UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MARYLAND 5
Income United Way of Central Maryland wants people in the region, particularly those living in poverty, to be able to afford housing and access to other critical necessities. United Way works towards this goal through direct funding, collaborations, research and other activities across the region. n
Last year, United Way helped 2,804 people receive services such as job training and credit repair that helped them find permanent housing. n
k What do you thin in the first step is ess making homelessn rare and brief?
n
In Baltimore City, United Way partnered with the Mayor’s office to implement The Journey Home: Baltimore’s 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness. United Way is the fiscal agent, operating as the lead private citywide fundraising agent, as well as helping evaluate implementation of the plan and raising public awareness about homelessness in Baltimore. United Way continued to work with Continuums of Care, the legal entities responsible for coordinating and overseeing homeless service programs across central Maryland. The six central Maryland continuums help guide United Way’s basic needs work and special projects, like United Way’s Emergency Response Fund. United Way is also able to provide each continuum with volunteer recruitment for the annual point-in-time surveys – a federally mandated survey of the homeless in each jurisdiction that helps guide public, private and nonprofit work.
n
United Way makes sure certain federal programs across the region receive support they need by helping with the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP). United Way maintains a seat on each of central Maryland’s EFSP boards, helping provide funding for food, shelter, rental assistance and other basic needs.
n
Through our work with several additional partners, United Way is able to help with even more programs that provide financial stability, housing and more. Last year, funding from UWCM supported the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge. Hope Lodge offers no-cost lodging for cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers to alleviate the financial strain of travel and long-term treatment. It also seeks to help provide access to care to vulnerable populations, including people who are uninsured or underinsured, minorities or those living in rural or inner-city areas.
And, through the American Red Cross, United Way helped thousands of individuals and families receive disaster assistance—such as emergency housing, food, clothing, medical assistance, mental health services and funeral costs—to recover from fires and floods.

What other health goals should United Way focus on in central Maryland?
Health United Way of Central Maryland wants all people to be healthy and free from violence and abuse in their homes and relationships. United Way works towards this goal through direct funding, collaborations, research and other activities across the region. n
Last year, 703 victims of violence or abuse were able to access and receive core services, like shelter and legal protection, to help them stay safe.
n
United Way is proud to partner with The Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence (MNADV), which has been working since 1980 to eliminate domestic violence in Maryland through education, training, and advocacy. The network is focused on promoting a coordinated community response to end domestic violence. The executive director of MNADV serves on United Way’s council committed to family safety and United Way staff serves as a liaison to the network’s board of directors.
n
As part of the Universal HealthCare Access Campaign, United Way is working with Healthcare for All to help ensure all Marylanders receive healthcare coverage.
n
As one of the largest private funders of victim services in the state, United Way plays a role in the Governor’s Office on Crime Control and Prevention’s Department of Victim Rights and Resources. The office has put a priority on coordinating services for victims of violence so they know about their rights and have access to services. United Way has been involved in projects to map victim services funding for the state and will continue to make this a priority.
n
Through our work with several additional partners, United Way is able to help with even more programs that provide services to victims. In central Maryland, the Counseling Helpline and Aid Network for Abused Women provides services to abused women in the Jewish community, assisting them to make safe decisions for themselves and their children through THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. United Way helps make that work possible. This year, the network offered services such as a confidential telephone helpline, group and individual counseling, legal services and a safe house.

GIVE n
United Way reaches out to nearly 400,000 donors in the private sector each year. ARE YOU ONE?
n
Going green – United Way continued to help companies transition campaigns from paper pledges to electronic ones, with 23 new companies making the switch last year. Using electronic pledging saves time, money and trees.
United Way’s online giving also won a national contest from its e-pledge vendor, Truist. United Way of Central Maryland posted the largest year-over-year increase – generating 31,343 online donors. It beat out more than 100 other United Ways across the country.
n
Million Dollar Donor – Last year, Sheela Murthy, Founder and President of the Murthy Law Firm, announced she would donate $1 million to support community impact in Maryland and to establish a Global Empowerment and Change Fund. With that gift, to be spread out over five years, Murthy became the first woman to join the United Way’s Million Dollar Roundtable – an elite group of the organization’s Tocqueville Society (for donors contributing $10,000 or more annually).
Through her gift, United Way of Central Maryland will help direct funds to support programs locally and internationally.
n
Tocqueville Society Award Celebration United Way was proud to honor the following recipients of the 2008 Tocqueville Society awards – presented annually to leadership givers who give $10,000 or more. Last year, there were 380 of these donors and together, they contributed nearly $6 million.

United Way’s Women’s Leadership Council (WLC), a group of 112 women who give $10,000 or more, launched My Place Project, a partnership with the YWCA of Greater Baltimore and Baltimore County to help outfit apartments for 13 formerly homeless women. After decades of chronic homelessness, the women will live in the supportive housing unit as they learn to rebuild their lives. The WLC has been collecting items for each of these units, as well as for common space. n
Volunteer! Baltimore Ravens

2-1-1 Maryland at United Way 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember phone number that links people who need help or want to give help to the right programs and services. In fiscal year 2009, 2-1-1 Maryland at United Way answered nearly 95,000 calls for assistance and information about community resources, the THE TOP 5 SERVICE REQUESTS majority of which concerned basic needs. This was critical as many residents LAST YEAR WERE FOR: were struggling due to the economic climate. Last year, 2-1-1 Maryland also went digital, as United Way of Central Maryland made its database of more than 4,200 community programs available to the public at www.211md.org. And, because so many were facing job loss and other financial hardships, United Way produced “Help in Hard Times,” a resource guide on coping during difficult economic times, which can be found online at www.uwcm.org/helpnow.

*Audit performed by Ellin & Tucker, Chartered. Certain FY2008 amounts were reclassified to conform with the FY2009 presentation.
Last year, United Way handled the processing, customer service and accounting for more than 26,000 designations to more than 1,500 separate organizations. In order to help try and combat the strain of the economic climate, United Way of Central Maryland changed its fee structure, lowering the designation fee to a flat five percent. United Way of Central Maryland previously charged 17.5 percent for paper pledged designations and 12.5 percent for electronically pledged designations to specific health and human service programs that were not impact partners. There was a cap of $375. The new cap is $500, with a $5 minimum. We absorbed those costs by reducing costs elsewhere. For example: encouraging more donors to use electronic pledging, which lowers our costs, and conversion of most payments to electronic versus check. Based on last year’s campaign, it could mean more than $400,000 in additional funding for the nonprofit community. There is no fee to give directly to United Way of Central Maryland, its focus areas of education, income and health or to 2-1-1 Maryland at United Way, an information and referral line. 2

UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MARYLAND 29
Do you LIVE UNITED? It’s easy.
There are many ways to get involved and support your community. We’ve started the list with a couple ideas and invite you to finish it with more ways you can – and do - make a difference.
1. Encourage kids to save a portion of their allowance for a good cause. 2. Donate new or gently used toys to a children’s shelter or child care center. 3. Visit your elected officials – in Annapolis or Washington, D.C. – and let them know what you care about. 4. Prepare a monthly meal at a local shelter or afterschool program. 5.
