2012 ANNUAL REPORTUnited Way of Central Indiana

AAuthor Marilyn Ferguson once compared change to being between trapezes – the place where we’re neither holding on, nor holding back. Though the transition can bring feelings of uncertainty, exciting opportunities abound. That’s a pretty accurate summary for United Way in 2012.

We started off the year with a new strategic plan, resulting in several task forces that were formed to look at how we can increase volunteerism, fundraising and our impact in four areas: education, income stability, health and basic needs. Then in July, Ellen announced her retirement, scheduled for early 2013. A search committee was formed, chaired by immediate past board chair David Resnick, and worked diligently, hiring Ann D. Murtlow, effective April 1, 2013.

All the while, our core business continued – helping people learn more, earn more and lead safe and healthy lives – while raising money and recruiting volunteers to support this work.

Under the able leadership of co-chairs Steve Schenck and Marianne Glick (returning for a second year!), the campaign exceeded $40 million for the second consecutive year. John Neighbours, chair of the Ready to Learn Committee, presented the board with a 10-year plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning for all children throughout our region. The committee also launched a new competitive grant program for underperforming public schools serving low-income families. Grant applicants proposed their own research-driven strategies to improve student success. Betsy Bikoff, chair of the Community Planning and Research Committee, presented a plan to increase family financial stability, specifically the parents of children in United Way partner schools, in order to reduce student mobility. Don Knebel, chair of the Resource Development Committee, appointed several task forces to increase donor and volunteer engagement and respond to changing donor and corporate giving trends.

All this work was done with support from an incredibly committed and qualified staff. For the third year in a row, we celebrated being selected as a “Best Places to Work in Indiana” company.

In a year of transition at United Way, we relied heavily on our volunteers. A strong nonprofit organization requires a combination of staff excellence and committed volunteer leaders. Our volunteers have stepped up and are leading us forward to fulfill the strategic direction. So, as Ellen says goodbye and we welcome Ann, we celebrate and thank all our volunteers and donors who share our vision of being a community where we are proud of all of our residents’ quality of life!

* Resigned as of 12/31/12

In 2012, the board implemented a new strategic direction for United Way of Central Indiana, which included an updated mission and refined community priorities:

Mission: United Way of Central Indiana helps people learn more, earn more and lead safe and healthy lives.

Priorities: education, income, health and basic needs

The new direction encompasses our proven effective programs and services and also includes new, innovative strategies, brought to light through task force findings and the biennial community assessment. We believe this holistic, continually evolving approach best positions United Way as the preeminent charity in Central Indiana, focusing on the root causes of the challenges individuals and families face while striving for self-sufficiency.

A NEW DIRECTION

EDUCATION – THE PATH OUT OF POVERTY

Education is one of the most critical aspects of

improving a person’s quality of life. That’s why

United Way of Central Indiana is committed to

improving the state of education in our community.

Our work starts early to prepare children for school

and provides ongoing resources and support

that equip our youth to reach their academic and

career potential.

Our goals for education are simple:• Children are ready to learn when they start kindergarten

• Children are at grade level proficiency by 6th grade

Early childhood education. Preschool. Child care quality. These issues received significant media attention in Central Indiana in 2012. Support for early childhood education – which includes high quality child care and basic health and safety standards for child care providers who receive government vouchers for their care – continues to be a top priority for United Way.

We’ve committed $12 million over the next 10 years to support Paths to Quality, the state’s child care quality rating and improvement system. Aside from grading the preschools, Paths to Quality encourages them to step up their game, with tools to help raise standards and, ideally, raise the demand for this quality care.

Last year, United Way of Central Indiana worked to improve health and safety standards and improve curriculum in 50 local day cares. To date, more than 4,000 children are now attending high-quality child care. Through our advocacy efforts, public awareness campaign and outreach, these numbers will continue to grow.

In 2012, United Way invested more than $3.5 million in the following elementary school strategies: Read. Tutor. Mentor. initiative, which includes ReadUP; Read by 3 program, providing classroom teachers with professional literacy coaches; meaningful afterschool programs and activities; community partnerships with schools; and positive youth development programming.

New for 2012, United Way of Central Indiana launched a grant program to help under-performing traditional public elementary schools in high-need areas. The $1.5 million Student Success Competitive Grant encourages elementary

school teachers and principals to drive transformation and improve student outcomes. Winners will be announced in April 2013.

In the classroom and beyond

Early learning gets children on the right track

• On average, 3rd graders participating in ReadUP tutoring exceeded expected growth and outperformed children who did not participate. (See chart.)

• 188,600 children participated in positive youth development programs.

• 497 community partnerships were coordinated in 20 local schools.

• 59,200 students participated in quality out-of- school programs and activities.

• 2,299 students were served in school health clinics, with over 90% of those students returning to the classroom.

businesses, community organizations, volunteers,

government, private foundations and a network of

vision. By focusing the best people, latest research

and innovative practices around achieving

measurable results, we maximize the impact made

for thousands of people in Central Indiana.

Thanks to advertising support from Eli Lilly and Company, United Way was able to paint the city orange with billboards, news boxes, and print and digital ads in both The Indianapolis Star and Indianapolis Business Journal.

SUPPORTED BY:

The efforts of United Way staff, volunteers, donors and partner agencies exemplify what United Way is all about: bringing together the right people, resources and expertise to get things done. In 2012, United Way continued to serve as a community builder, convener and unifier by leading the development of various collaborative efforts to identify and improve community-wide goals.

Network of agencies Each year, funds are used to support agencies that help individuals and families make strides to improve their economic well-being. Our agencies meet people where they are in their lives and help them formulate a plan to move forward. This means first providing people with

the most basic of human needs, and then helping them reach financial stability and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

• 87,351 households received food, clothing, personal care items or rent and utility assistance.

• 2,900 adults and 1,351 children received emergency shelter and assistance after fleeing domestic violence.

• 5,700 individuals were served in homeless shelters and transitional housing.

• 3,544 individuals became employed as a result of case management services or other supportive services that helped them overcome barriers to employment.

• 16,578 health screenings were provided, leading to early diagnoses and prevention plans for individuals.

2012 community successes:

No other organization has the scope and expertise

to bring people and resources together.

United Way of Central Indiana increased its advocacy efforts to require all child care providers that accept government vouchers meet basic standards to ensure children are in a healthy and safe early learning environment. Policy changes are needed to ensure all working families have access to quality care and that information about child care health and safety regulations is transparent and available to parents.

United Way is working with elected officials and news media to provide information about the need for these policy changes through our Kids Need Quality campaign.

In addition to child care quality, our board also adopted a resolution in support of legislation that provided voter referendums for the funding of mass transit. Past community assessments show that a lack of access to reliable transportation is often a barrier to individuals and families achieving economic self-sufficiency. United Way will continue to advocate for these issues in 2013.

Special events in 2012 support the work of United Way

United Way first began planning to assess community assets and services needed to change the outlook for kids aging out of foster care in 2004. In 2008, Connected By 25 began as a project of United Way of Central Indiana after a long planning period in partnership with many community stakeholders, including WFYI, Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, Lumina Foundation for Education and the Indiana Department of Child Services.

Connected By 25’s program and contracts with the Department of Child Services had grown to the point where a decision was made to transition to an independent 501(c)(3) organization: Indiana Connected By 25. As a result, the organization became the newest United Way agency in Central Indiana.

Over the past four years, Connected By 25 served more than 900 current and former foster youth, providing critical programming, including financial literacy, education, housing and employment services and funding. Because of these efforts, more than 600 youth have received educational funding to pursue post-secondary education, and more than 100 homeless former foster youth have been provided stable housing.

With the help of committed stakeholders and funders, Indiana Connected By 25 will continue to serve vulnerable foster youth, filling a critical need in the community.

VOLUNTEERS STEP UP FOR THE COMMUNITY

Volunteers play a vital role in United Way’s ability to effectively

help members of our community learn more, earn more and lead

safe and healthy lives. Our network of passionate volunteers

spans far into the communities we serve. They

can be found reading, tutoring and mentoring to

help Central Indiana children achieve academic

success. They can be found serving and delivering

food to families, painting community spaces

and cleaning up parks. And you’ll find them

lending their professional skills to our agencies.

At United Way, we strive to make volunteering

fun, easy and accessible for individuals and

groups. Most importantly, we work to provide

meaningful, engaging volunteer opportunities

for everyone involved.

Jeff Hagerman, president of The Hagerman Group, was bestowed this prestigious honor for his work to improve child care safety, including donating more than $165,000 in construction fees and leveraging $83,000 in in-kind donations.

Hagerman named United Way Volunteer

of the Year

In September 2012, United Way’s Volunteer Center launched Volunteer Connect – an interactive, online tool to help potential volunteers match their talent and skills with volunteer positions posted by hundreds of participating Central Indiana nonprofits.

Volunteer Connect uses a streamlined approach to match volunteers with desired opportunities. Additionally, companies can engage employees in the volunteer experience through customized pages that integrate their contribution and volunteer opportunities into one centralized plan.

To date, United Way of Central Indiana’s Volunteer Center has trained more than 120 local nonprofit organizations to use the site, with plans to expand and increase opportunities and agencies in 2013. Visit uwci.org/volunteer to learn more.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, when the disaster upended the lives of almost eight million people and left them without power and struggling to care for their families, United Way Worldwide quickly responded. They called upon our United Way, asking for help. Alan Witchey, United Way of Central Indiana’s Volunteer Center director, deployed to the East Coast to help manage volunteers. The hurricane battered countless United Way communities along the Eastern Seaboard and across the Northeast. However, Alan focused on the positive.

“I chose to feel inspired by some of the things I saw – some rebuilding, people getting food and clothing, a community in rebirth,” said Alan. “I was focused on disaster recovery, so I was responsible for figuring out how to help organize volunteers to aid in recovery.”

While in New York, Alan’s priorities were to coordinate with the city, support recovery of the nonprofit sector,

and deploy groups and volunteers in a meaningful way. For Alan, it was an honor to be asked to help and a humbling experience.

United Way Worldwide provides a network of nearly 1,800 community-based United Ways in 45 countries and territories, including United Way of Central Indiana. As a veteran in volunteer management, Alan has had direct experience in disasters. In 2008, he and his staff helped manage volunteers following the June 7 floods in Southern Indiana.

According to United Way of New York City, in two days more than 6,000 volunteers responded to a call for help. “The fact that we were able to help in this way was an honor,” shared our own Ellen K. Annala. “It speaks to the importance of being part of a strong national network. Together, we are stronger than any of us can be on our own.”

Volunteer Connect matches people with opportunities

Read. Tutor. Mentor. initiative raises awareness, recruits volunteers

United Way of Central Indiana is answering United Way Worldwide’s challenge to help cut the high school dropout number in half by 2018 through the mobilization of one million readers,

tutors and mentors. Two years in, and our volunteers have risen to the challenge!

In 2012, we recruited 1,675 volunteers who have spent 40,200 hours reading, tutoring and mentoring. We also held two successful recruitment events:

1) The Read ‘Round the Circle kick-off event on June 7 brought together 300 participants who each read one sentence from Charlotte’s Web. Indianapolis Colts player Antoine Bethea joined the reading relay, which helped raise awareness for Read. Tutor. Mentor and the need for volunteers.

2) ReadUP Day, held on November 15, brought together members of the news media, community leaders, government officials and reading advocates to serve as “tutors for the day,” demonstrating the importance of ReadUP volunteers.

United Way of Central Indiana agencies

Visit uwci.org/annual_report for a complete list of allocations of funds to agencies.

How do you say “thank you” after 23

years? That’s how long it’s been since I

walked into United Way of Central Indiana

on February 1, 1990, to serve as vice

president for agency relations. Eight years

later, I was named president and CEO. Even

as I look forward to a different pace after

retirement, I can’t help but look back.

What a privilege it has been to lead this organization and

community for more than two decades as we have improved the lives

of so many individuals and families. When Dan MacDonald, then

president, first spoke with me in 1989 about possibly coming to

United Way, what appealed to me most was the prospect of broader

community impact. I knew that United Way was the organization in

town with the broadest reach, the strength of relationships with

every part of our region – corporate, volunteer, donor, funding

partners, government, nonprofit organizations, program/service

participants – and that if we strategically marshaled and focused

our resources, we could change more lives and our community.

What I didn’t know was how hard this work would be – as well

as exciting and rewarding. I didn’t know the pleasure I would feel in

working side-by-side with the finest people in Central Indiana:

• civic leaders determined to make this a great place to live,

work and play;

• donors who want to invest where they can make the

greatest impact;

• staff who are so committed that they never question the long

weeks or extra evening hours to tell the United Way story or

enlist more volunteers;

• funders who work more collaboratively than any other city in

the nation; In fact, when the 2008 recession hit in October,

we had the joint Community Economic Relief Fund up and

running by December, mitigating devastation for hundreds

of Central Indiana families;

• neighborhood leaders in challenged urban/aging

neighborhoods who work tirelessly, often without

recognition, to stabilize their neighborhoods as safe

and healthy places to live;

• volunteers who meet weekly

with students to help them

catch up in reading proficiency;

• child care workers who now

understand the important role

they play in early learning;

• our Emerging Leaders;

Just as I worried that

“working for the

common good” was

becoming an outmoded

concept, more than 1,000 stepped

up, giving their time and resources;

• human services personnel who are in the trenches daily

because they believe in human potential and stand ready to

give that helping hand.

As we live out our new mission statement and align with United

Way Worldwide’s priorities of education, income and health, we will

assess the community and determine how we can increase value – in

measurable ways – to help our residents “learn more, earn more and

lead safe and healthy lives.”

We believe the entire community has the responsibility to improve

the educational outcomes of our children. That’s why we created

meaningful, engaging volunteer opportunities with schools and child

care providers to help children become better readers, better students

and on a path to school success.

Recognizing that making positive change goes beyond dollars and

volunteers, we recommitted to our work in public policy, setting an

agenda and advocating on quality of life issues.

I could easily go on. You see, even while I enjoy all the kind

sentiments shared as I retire, it isn’t about me. It’s about you. That’s

why I say, “Thank you!”

Recently, a retired friend of mine counseled me about retirement.

He said, “What is it that you have always had a passion for?”

My response: “That’s what I’ve been doing for 46 years.”

Thank you for giving my life and career meaning. Thank you for

sharing the vision that we can create a quality of life in Central Indiana

that we are proud of for all our residents.

A community leader bids farewell, begins new journey
