FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, 2013 represented a milestone of sorts for United Way of Greater Kansas City. We realized our fifth year as an organization of merged United Way entities, as well as the results we achieved over the last 12 months. Both demonstrate the wisdom of the community’s decision to bring our local United Way organizations together as one. Community is where it starts. In 2013 we’ve come together like no other year. The volunteers, advocates and investors in our work have helped us achieve great results. Nearly $10 million in tax refunds got to families entitled to them, almost 110,000 kids learned valuable life skills through community out-of-school programs, and 125,000 people got the help they needed through calling United Way 2-1-1. What makes United Way of Greater Kansas City unique is the ability of the organization to be a catalyst when it comes to meeting community need. In 2013 we saw the successful introduction of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which now serves more than 200 kids. We also created and launched our new Veteran’s Alliance which helps area veterans and their families get the help they need in one centralized location. And with our partners at Rockhurst, LISC and Catholic Charities, we saw the opening of the new prosperity center, serving the employment and financial needs of those in the area. In addition to our impact work, in the last year we’ve had a strong group of community volunteers lead us through the process of developing our next strategic plan. The result of their work has been the creation of a guide that reinforces the direction set forth in the 2010 – 2013 strategic plan, and refines our focus on the most significant areas of need in our community. None of what we accomplished in 2013 would be possible without the generosity shown by those participating in our annual workplace giving campaign. At $37,501,704, everyone in the area stepped up to meet the growing needs of our community. While our fifth year has been a milestone, it does not mean our work is done. Now, more than ever, our community is in need. We will continue striving to meet that need for the next five years and beyond. It’s our hope that you will join us as we continue to create a better Kansas City and mobilize the caring power of the community.

there is never a moment when we are not learning, and United Way of Greater Kansas City — through its initiatives — is there at the very start of a child’s life. A new parent can use our Born Learning website to find important information at every step of a child’s development. Our Success By 6 resource centers ensure every child is healthy, safe, nurtured and prepared to enter school. In addition, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library offers hundreds of children in our area the joy of reading in their own homes before they enter kindergarten. Our Quality Matters sites assure that there is never a moment when a school-aged child isn’t given the wonderful opportunity to learn.

STUFF THE BUS A SUCCESS FOR KIDS Kansas City showed what a big heart it has for children. During our Stuff the Bus Day of Action, we collected two school-bus loads of supplies that went toward making this a successful school year for kids at our Quality Matters sites.

DOLLY PARTON’S IMAGINATION LIBRARY LAUNCHES Reading to a child at an early age is known to greatly improve the child’s chances of being more successful in school. United Way of Greater Kansas City and its Women’s Leadership Council are proud to have brought Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to the Kansas City area in 2013. This early childhood literacy program already is bringing free books every month to the homes of more than 200 children. This initiative got an impressive start through many generous curators and two grants from BMO Harris Bank and GEHA (Government Employees Health Association).
AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM EXPANDS IN NORTH KC Our Quality Matters program continued to grow in 2013. It added 16 sites in the North Kansas City School District and through the Local Investment Commission. The expansion of this innovative after-school program now is available at 180 different sites at 22 organizations, serving more than 5,000 children a year.

SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS AT OUR PARTNER AGENCIES
A TRAIL IS BORN The first Born Learning Trail in Kansas City, scheduled to open in the spring, will provide young children and their parents with the opportunity to get active, have fun and boost language and literacy skills through outdoor activities.
Participation in out-of-school-time programs is proven to help students gain valuable life skills and have higher aspirations for their future – and 109,006 children and youth had that opportunity in 2013, thanks to programs at United Way’s partner agencies.
Our first trail will be at the Woodland Early Learning Community Center in the KCMO School District.
Those programs also provided quality early-learning programs for 1,764 pre-schoolers and provided parenting education to 1,096 moms and dads.
Thanks to a $15,000 investment from BMO Harris Bank, five more Born Learning Trails will open in the Kansas City region in 2014. BMO Harris Bank has made an additional $15,000 investment to open a Success By 6 Resource Center at Woodland Early Learning Community Center this spring.
In 2013, United Way invested $10.4 million in 106 education-related programs at 68 of our partner agencies.
TRUE STORIES
A GIFT TO BUILD EXPERIENCES Marym is the third Abdelghany child in her family – following her two older brothers – to enjoy the Success By 6 Resource Center at the Fred Markley Early Childhood Center. “I want to teach my children,” says Ahmed Abdelghany, Marym’s father. On a Friday afternoon in August, Ahmed sits in a child-size chair at a child-size table cutting out embellishments from construction paper for his children's pictures. Ahmed says it would be impossible for a parent to recreate what the center offers a child and a family. “Every toy can give a child a hundred experiences,” Ahmed says. “Just think, you have a hundred toys here, and with every one of the toys you get a hundred experiences.” UWGKC PHOTO

three in every 10 people in the kansas city region – more than half a million people – are living in low-income households, making economic insecurity a constant in their lives. Children and young adults are at highest risk of poverty – critical years when we want our youth to gain the foundation they need for a successful transition to career and life. So United Way focuses its action and investment on the tools that help people break the cycle of poverty. From our Decade of Difference initiative, which seeks to make a lasting difference during the critical transition years of 16 to 26, to our other collaborative efforts, United Way works with partner agencies to help families with finances and career preparedness.
09
UNDERSTANDING POVERTY ... Our Income Impact Team sponsored a unique two-part Day of Action designed to help our Decade of Difference participants succeed – and help our generous donors understand the challenges these youth can face. In the first phase, more than 150 friends attended a poverty simulation event sponsored by Harrah’s, “Walking the Financial Tightrope,” with a roleplaying exercise designed to help them learn more about the enormous difficulties and decisions facing families who live in poverty.

... AND BREAKING THE CYCLE The second phase of our Income Day of Action, “Face Time: Careers, Connections, Clear Direction,” allowed more than 100 of our Decade of Difference participants to interact with 70 adult volunteers in a variety of activities designed to help them succeed, including “speed networking” to talk with ambassadors from industries with job growth potential, mock job interviews, and a “dress for success” contest.
PROSPERITY CENTER OFFERS ONE-STOP ACCESS
SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS AT OUR PARTNER AGENCIES
United Way joined with partners Rockhurst University, Catholic Charities, the Full Employment Council and LISC to open the Prosperity Center for Financial Opportunity at Rockhurst in June. The center offers a comprehensive approach providing “one-stop” access to employment services, financial counseling and coaching, and income supports access in an integrated resource center.
In 2013, United Way invested $7.5 million in 70 income-related programs at 47 of our partner non-profit agencies. Through these programs, 1,332 homeless people moved into transitional or permanent housing, and 1,297 people were connected to job internships or employment with help from United Way-supported employment readiness coaching.
10
TAX AID TOTALS $10 MILLION IN REFUNDS For the 11th year in a row, United Way partnered with the KC CASH Coalition to provide free income tax assistance to low- to moderateincome individuals and families. In 2013, more than 8,000 families were helped at our 17 tax assistance sites throughout the metro area, helping return nearly $10 million in tax refunds to the families entitled to them.
NEXT STEP KC STREAMLINES SERVICES And following the year’s income tax assistance program, United Way took the next step of helping the KC CASH Coalition, along with two other community collaborations (Fair Community Credit and Bank On Save Up, initiatives in which United Way played a key leadership role) merge into an innovative new organization called Next Step KC.
PARTNERING PROGRAMS Our Young Leaders Society will launch a mentoring initiative in which society members will be advisors, speakers and resources for participants in our Project Rise program, a component of our Decade of Difference initiative.
TRUE STORIES
MAKING A DIFFERENCE Three years ago, 16-year-old Emily returned home from her job to find her mother had attempted suicide. She called 911 and saved her mother’s life, but afterward moved out and spent the next two years “couch surfing” at friends’ houses. She graduated from high school, and discovered United Way’s Decade of Difference initiative. Through her participation at our initiative partner, Catholic Charities of Kansas City and St. Joseph, she learned to save money for college (and received an 8-to-1 match for every dollar she saved). In 2013, Emily was an inspiring speaker at United Way’s Campaign Kick-Off luncheon, and today she’s attending community college. In the fall, she plans to transfer to Stephens College, majoring in drama.
The new organization offers free tax preparation, affordable mainstream financial products and educational opportunities that move people to financial independence and stability. Next Step KC is an initiative partner of United Way of Greater Kansas City. UWGKC PHOTO

this past year brought new programs, growing efforts and exciting events in the impact area of Health. We partnered with TeamSmile for our Day of Action event at Arrowhead Stadium and offered free dental services to nearly 300 low-income children. In addition, our Citizens Assist Program was recognized by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and our Veteran's Alliance initiative learned from metro-area veterans better ways to meet and serve their community needs.
13
MEETING VETERANS AND THEIR NEEDS As part of our new Veteran's Alliance initiative, we met with groups of veterans in the first few months of the year. These “facilitated conversations” with more than 200 metro-area veterans helped us to identify opportunities to assist them. We found that the veterans’ greatest need was a single, integrated resource that could inform and educate them on services available to them. United Way 2-1-1 stepped up to add that resource to its call center and online services to help veterans with their housing, financial, health and employment needs. Donor Relations Manager Haley Grayless listens Veterans Alliance members discuss veterans' needs during a meeting hosted by UWGKC. UWGKC PHOTO
REFERRAL SERVICE TAKES CALLS, MAKES STRIDES
HAT TIP TO CAP In October, the Citizen Assist Program (CAP) was recognized by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Local Funding Partnerships. Program Director Greg Moncrief was invited to and attended the foundation’s first annual Director’s Meeting in Philadelphia, where CAP was lauded as one of the “most unique, sustainable and replicable” programs the group has funded in its 25-year history.
In the past year, United Way 2-1-1 answered more than 125,000 calls, eight percent of which were directed toward health-related queries about access and resources, such as dental care and prescription assistance. The call center also developed its online database, taking steps toward launching the webversion of its 24-hour referral services.
14
SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS AT OUR PARTNER AGENCIES More than 100,000 low- and moderateincome people were able to access the health care they needed through programs supported by United Way, and 882 people experienced improved functioning as a result of outpatient mental health counseling. Programs at our partner agencies also provided shelter, support and therapeutic services to 14,875 victims of family violence and helped 6,713 older adults remain independent and in their own homes. United Way invested $14 million in 108 health-related programs at 75 of our partner agencies in 2013.
HOME-VISITATION COLLABORATIVE United Way of Greater Kansas City is working in partnership with Children’s Mercy Hospital and Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City to establish an innovative, sustainable system of evidenced-based home visitation services for pregnant women, young children and their families. Patterned on a research-based model out of Cincinnati, this project offers the promise of achieving optimal physical-, mental-, emotional-health and education outcomes for at-risk infants and toddlers through this community-based home visitation collaborative.
NEW NAVIGATOR United Way 2-1-1 created a new position, Veterans Navigator, to work directly with veterans who call in for help locating the resources they need. In early 2014, we identified Sharon Becker, an Army veteran who had experience as a licensed therapist and combat medic, to fill this new position. Unfortunately, after a brief and sudden illness, Sharon passed away on March 26, 2014, and she will be greatly missed. United Way will search for another veteran to fill this key new position to serve the veterans throughout our community.
TRUE STORIES
A SOURCE OF HELP AND HOPE Adam has suffered from a profound case of schizophrenia since age 14. As a teenager, he overdosed on pills. Although doctors told his parents Adam wouldn’t survive, miraculously he did. But, says Adam’s father, they needed to learn about a multitude of resources to help Adam recover. They called United Way 2-1-1 and spoke with Marcie, our Health Care Advocate, whose job is to work closely with those who need help navigating the challenges of the health care system. “Marcie is an incredible resource,” said Adam’s dad. “She sent all the information we needed and helped us get organized in an area we knew nothing about. Now, for the first time in Adam’s adult life, we have hope. He’s excited about his future.” UWGKC PHOTO

“it all begins with you� was the theme of the 2013 united way Campaign, and the people of Greater Kansas City took that message to heart. The spirit of generosity and the desire to build a better community for all who live and work here began with the thousands of friends who donated a grand total of $37.5 million to make this year’s campaign another rousing success.
