PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A
UNITED WAY USES A TWOFOLD APPROACH TO ADDRESSING CRITICAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS OF THE KANSAS CITY METROPOLITAN AREA. THE FIRST OF THESE INVOLVES PROVIDING ANNUAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO PROGRAMS DELIVERING HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN THREE AREAS: EDUCATION, INCOME AND HEALTH. UNITED WAY PROVIDES SUPPORT TO MORE THAN 300 PROGRAMS IN 140 AREA HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES. PROGRAMS ARE SCREENED BASED ON UNIFORM CRITERIA THAT ASSESS THE STRENGTH OF PROGRAMS' METHODOLOGY, CAPACITY, PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES AND FIT WITH UNITED WAY COMMUNITY IMPACT AGENDA. THROUGH A SECOND APPROACH, UNITED WAY ENGAGES HUMAN SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS (INCLUDING GOVERNMENT, FOUNDATIONS, PLANNING AGENCIES, AND OTHERS) IN COLLABORATIVE WORK AIMED AT CHANGING COMMUNITY CONDITIONS THAT RESULT IN HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS. THIS WORK IS ORGANIZED UNDER THE THREE PRIORITY OUTCOMES IDENTIFIED ABOVE AND USES A "TOOLBOX" OF STRATEGIES AIMED AT SPECIFIC TARGET ISSUES. THE TOOLBOX APPROACH INVOLVES PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY, DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMMING, SYSTEMS CHANGE WORK, AND DONOR AND VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT. UNITED WAY HAS IDENTIFIED A SPECIFIC COMMUNITY CHANGE OUTCOME AND TARGET POPULATION IN EACH AREA. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: INCOME: YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS GAIN THE EDUCATION AND LIFE SKILLS TO ATTAIN BETTER JOBS WITH BENEFITS, INCREASE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, AND/OR OBTAIN FINANCIAL LITERACY TO SAVE AND SECURE ASSETS - POSITIVE BENEFITS THAT LEAD TO GREATER LONG-TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY. EDUCATION: CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL TIME PROGRAMS BUILD ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SKILLS, BETTER ATTITUDES TOWARDS SCHOOL, GREATER SELF CONFIDENCE AND DECREASE RISKY BEHAVIORS. HEALTH: CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PREGNANT WOMEN ARE ENROLLED IN PUBLICLY FINANCED HEALTH INSURANCE AND RECEIVE TIMELY, REGULAR AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B
UNITED WAY 2-1-1 IS AN EASY-TO-REMEMBER CENTRAL PHONE NUMBER CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH AVAILABLE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. UNITED WAY 2-1-1 IS AVAILABLE 24/7/365, AND IS COMPLETELY FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL. TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL CALL SPECIALISTS WORK WITH CALLERS TO DETERMINE THE MOST APPROPRIATE REFERRAL(S), UTILIZING A COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE DATABASE. UNITED WAY 2-1-1 PROVIDES LANGUAGE TRANSLATION CAPACITY IN 150 LANGUAGES. THE UNITED WAY OF GREATER KANSAS CITY 2-1-1 SERVES RESIDENTS OF 16 COUNTIES IN MISSOURI (ANDREW, BATES, BUCHANAN, CALDWELL, CASS, CLAY, CLINTON, DEKALB, HENRY, JACKSON, JOHNSON, LAFAYETTE, PETTIS, PLATTE, SALINE, RAY) AND 7 COUNTIES IN KANSAS (DONAPHAN, FRANKLIN, JOHNSON, LEAVENWORTH, LINN, MIAMI, WYANDOTTE). UNITED WAY 2-1-1 MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE IN NEED OF INFORMATION OR SERVICES TO NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX AND FRAGMENTED HUMAN SERVICES DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME THEIR OWN ADVOCATE AND FOSTER SELF-SUFFICIENCY. SHORT-TERM SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY UTILIZATION OF THE SERVICE, UTILIZING INDICATORS SUCH AS CALL VOLUME, NEEDS PRESENTED, AND UNMET NEEDS. IN ADDITION, FOLLOW-UP CALLS ARE CONDUCTED ON A TARGETED PERCENTAGE OF CALLS TO DETERMINE SATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE, WHETHER THE CALLER RECEIVED ASSISTANCE AS A RESULT OF THE REFERRAL(S), AND HOW THE CALLER HEARD OF UNITED WAY 2-1-1. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2010, CALL VOLUME REACHED OVER 187,000. INCREASINGLY, UNITED WAY 2-1-1 IS UTILIZED AS A RESOURCE IN COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS THAT ADDRESS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. FOR EXAMPLE, KC CASH, A COALITION OF VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE (VITA) PROVIDERS FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES UTILIZED UNITED WAY 2-1-1 AS A CENTRALIZED INFORMATION RESOURCE FOR VITA SITES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE NUMBER IS PUBLICIZED WHEN TAX SEASON BEGINS AND 2-1-1 CALL SPECIALISTS HELP CALLERS DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE AND HELP THEM TO FIND THE VITA SITE CLOSEST TO THEIR HOME.
