Client Note 2 - United Way Agencies are funded in the form of "Allocations" and or "Designations". Allocations: Organizations receiving "discretionary" funding from United Way (i.e. Community Care/Impact/Investment) Undergo intensive pre-screening before being awarded funding.Such screening includes: o An application process that includes explanation of the proposed use and results from use of the funding o Financial review of the organization to gain a level of assurance that the organization follows sound fiscal policieso Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Patriot Acto Verification of current status as an IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationAre required to provide United Way with quarterly progress reports that show how the funding has been utilized to day and the results achieved against mission as a result.Are required to provide United Way with a final report at the end of the allocation period that verifies that all funding has been used for the purposes intended and what the results were compared to the proposed results from the original application.Donor Designations: Organizations receiving donor designated contributions through United Way:Undergo screening prior to distribution of funding. Such screening includes:o Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Patriot Acto Verification of current status as an IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationST JOHN UNITED WAYBelow is an overview of our broad spectrum of services under our current community impact areas Why is United Way the best way to give and make a difference? United Way invests in programs designed to address change in how people make decisions. Every decision is critical in any person's path to being the best they can be. When a child learns to read or graduates on time, the whole community wins. United Way invests in well established Agencies and Programs with a proven record of producing desired outcomes in their area of expertise.Every gift to United Way, no matter its size, makes a difference in our community. Many people find that giving through payroll deduction allows them to make a contribution that fits their budget. One of the advantages of giving to United Way is being part of a community effort that combines all of our giving to multiply the impact. By giving as little as $1 per pay period, when combined with others, can make a difference that can help strengthen the St John Community.Assisting With Basic & Emergency NeedsUnited Way supports programs that provide a safety net during times of crisis including emergency assistance, basic needs such as food and shelter, intervention in crisis, violence, abuse and neglect.The 2-1-1 Information and Referral Line is an easy to remember three-digit telephone number that connects callers to information about health and human services available in your community. Our local 2-1-1 also has trained crisis intervention and suicide prevention specialists. Other funded agencies in this area are American Red Cross, Battered Women's Program, Child Advocacy Services, River Parishes Mental Health Clinic, St. John Counseling Solutions, and St. John Ministry of Care.St. John United Way, in partnership with St. John Parish Government and other agencies, oversees the National Emergency Food and Shelter Board Program in St. John Parish. These federal dollars are available to assist individuals and families with food, utilities, rent and mortgage in times of emergencies. Over the last 28 years, St. John United Way has been successful in bringing these additional dollars to supplement our Community's emergency services budget.Helping Kids SucceedWith close to 1 in 5 students absent for 7 or more days per month, it is not surprising that close to 40% of students are failing to graduate on time with their classmates. Students can't learn and teachers can't teach if students are not in school. By improving the attendance rate, one can increase the cohort (on time) graduation rate. Education is critical for a community to survive and prosper!!! Partner Agencies are Big Brother/Big Sister, Boy Scouts of America, Child Advocacy Services, Girl Scouts, Kingsley House Family Resources, St. John Counseling Solutions, and St John 4-H Foundation.Promoting Health, Wellness & IndependenceAt United Way, we think it is important to facilitate physical and behavioral health services, take care of our seniors and assist those with disabilities. United Way provides services in the area of health through its partner agencies. Funded agencies addressing health are Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans, Cerebral Palsy of Louisiana, GNO Therapeutic Riding Center, Sickle Cell Association, River Parishes Mental Health Clinic, St. John Council on Aging, St. John ARC, and St. John Counseling Solutions.Strengthening Communities and FamiliesUnited Way believes that Families and Communities are the true building blocks of our society and our country. So, what is the most important thing necessary to grow families and communities? EDUCATION is the key. Education includes more than school work. Education actually starts at birth (actually earlier) and includes parenting skills, character, teamwork, fair play, work ethic, etc. Partner Agencies are Big Brother/Big Sister, Boy Scouts of America, Child Advocacy Services, Girl Scouts, Kingsley House Family Resources, St. John Counseling Solutions, 4-H, and St. John Inmate GED.
