| F990_P03_S00_L00a | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1) | Agency and Volunteer Development - United Way engages our community, mobilizes volunteers and strengthens local nonprofits to achieve measurable results and change lives. Our Volunteer Engagement Mobilization Plan goal is by 2020, to increase volunteerism to 800,000 hours in the Agenda for Change to accelerate results. Key strategies include aligning volunteers with opportunities that support the Agenda for Change, leveraging volunteers' intellectual capacity as well as their physical capacity, mobilizing diverse groups of volunteers, increasing opportunities for corporate volunteers, and developing youth leadership opportunities through volunteering. In 2012 volunteers provided over 655,000 hours of volunteer service dedicated to advancing the Agenda for Change, and strongly influenced the recruitment of 18.1 million hours of volunteer service in total for Dane County. 30,702 visitors searched VolunteerYourTime.org to get connected with the perfect volunteer opportunity in Dane County. We work to build agency effectiveness and capacity by providing training and developmental opportunities to business volunteer programs, volunteer managers, nonprofit boards and executive directors to help strengthen the leadership, governance and volunteer engagement within our partner agencies. Through the Annual Campaign we are providing funding to over 500 agencies and other United Way's. In 2012 United Way's 2-1-1 center answered 61,657 calls for help. 2-1-1 Center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is staffed by trained specialists who help individuals and families find fast, free and confidential help in health and human services. In 2012 2-1-1 was awarded national accreditation by the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems. |
| F990_P03_S00_L00b | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 2) | Growing Up Getting Ready - All students succeed academically and graduate from high school, regardless of race. We have two overarching goals for our children and youth. First, we're assuring all young children in Dane County are cared for and have fun as they become prepared for school. Our Born Learning Mobilization Plan's goal is by 2013, 75% of our children will be ready for kindergarten as measured by a community assessment tool. Strategies include home visitation (serving 870 families in 2012) and Play & Learns (regular, weekly pre-school demonstrations for both parent/caregiver and child) to teach parents how to be their children's first teacher. Early development screening of children at 18 months, 36 months, and 60 months through programs and health care through Dane County assures the early detection of potential developmental delays. In 2012, 980 children and 964 caregivers attended 18 Play & Learns. The Ages and Stages screener was administered to 2,352 children. Of those screened, 12% were identified with potential delays and referred for treatment. Secondly, we're insuring that all students succeed academically and graduate from high school, regardless of race. Our Schools of Hope Mobilization Plan goal is no more than 5% of any student group will score minimal on the 4th grade WKCE (WI Knowledge and Concepts Exam) and by 2015 the proportion of Students of Color scoring advanced or proficient on the 4th grade WKCE will increase. Our Achievement Connections Mobilization Plan goals is we'll improve the passage of algebra in high school, and increase the graduation rate in Dane County from 91.4% to 95% by 2020 with an interim goal of 93.2% by 2016. Our academic support strategy is tutoring at all levels with a focus on early grade reading, math at middle school, and algebra at high school. Our tutoring initiative engaged 1,748 volunteers in 4 school districts, tutoring 8300+ students K-12. In 2012 9% of 4th graders scored minimal on state tests, the percent of students completing algebra remained at 80%, and all but three Dane County districts graduated at least 90% of their students. |
| F990_P03_S00_L00c | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 3) | Basic Needs - There is a decrease in family homelessness. Our goal is to reduce family homelessness and the number of children in shelter by 50% in Dane County by 2015 (as measured through our partnership with Dane County shelters) by expanding eviction prevention strategies and providing direct access to stable housing for families facing homelessness. We have reduced our reliance on shelter as the first line of defense for Dane County families. The strategies we invest in are landlord and tenant connections and financial counseling, quality case management, access to surplus/free food, and direct access to permanent housing through Housing First. By 2015, we will reduce the number of Dane County school-age children in shelter from 109 to 54. By 2010 we reduced that number to 87 (-23%) in shelters. In 2012, 7.4 million pounds of food were distributed to 150,000 households, over a 50% increase from 2006. In 2012, 3,738 households learned financial literacy skills and 980 families were assisted in filing their Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), 2,028 families received case management and 155 families were stably housed in our Housing First programs eliminating their time in shelter and improving potential for their children's' school success. |
| F990_P03_S00_L00d | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 4) | Healthy for Life - Health issues are identified and treated early. Our Health Agenda focuses on removing barriers and providing access to physical/behavioral health and dental resources so that people's health issues are identified and treated early. Connecting people who have low incomes and are uninsured with health care and dental homes is a primary strategy and proven best practice. These health care homes provide a regular source of care that focuses on preventive care, managing chronic illnesses and reducing the need for hospitalizations or emergency visits. In 2012, 751 children and 219 pregnant women received preventive dental care, 419 children received a well-child exam prior to entrance into kindergarten and 885 diabetics improved the management of their disease as a result of being connected with a community-based medical home through United Way's support. Our work on health is also tightly connected with other United Way goals. Our relationship with Dane County healthcare providers has led to use of a common developmental screening tool, the Ages & Stages Questionnaire, becoming a part of well child visits throughout our community. The early detection and treatment of developmental delays that are identified through this screener is critical to assuring that children are ready to learn when they enter kindergarten. Significant investments also address the early identification and treatment of behavioral and mental health issues that keep kids from learning. This is a critical component of keeping youth connected to school, families and the community and on-track for graduation. During the 2011/2012 school year, 2,500 sixth graders were screened for behavioral health issues, 60 of those required and received intervention. FACE-Kids is another school-based program that provides prevention/early intervention services to students at all grade levels; 633 students participated in 102 behavioral health groups offered in 49 schools and 5 off-site locations in 11 Dane County school districts. |
| F990_P03_S00_L00e | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 5) | Safe Community Strong Neighborhoods - There is a reduction in violence toward individuals and families. We have three main focus areas. First, Achievement Connections is the initiative that works to keep our youth in school and on track to graduate from high school with a combination of middle and high school strategies. Our goal is to 1)increase the graduation rate in Dane County from 91.4% to 95% by 2020 with an interim goal of 93.2% by 2016, and 2) Increase the graduation rate for MMSD students from 74.5% to 84.5% by 2020 (or an additional 197 students will graduate by 2020) with an interim goal of 79.5% by 2016. To achieve this goal, our strategies are: 1) Increase student engagement in the classroom, after school and in the community (see description of tutoring results under Growing Up Getting Ready). 2) Increase parents' engagement and social support 3) Increase the identification and treatment of behavioral health issues. 4) Drop-out recovery. High school graduation rates in Middleton/Cross Plains and Oregon are increasing thanks to these strategies. Our work is yielding results. In 2012, the Dane County Graduation rate was 92.1% which is an important increase over the 2005 graduation rate of 90%. In addition, we've reduced habitual truancy by 20%, drop-out rates by 21.4%, and have engaged 2100+ parents. Second, our Journey Home initiative links ex-offenders who are returning to the community to four researchbased strategies: Residency, Employment, Support and Treatment (REST) so they can successfully reintegrate back into the community. While the return-to-prison rate for Dane County has decreased from 66% (in 2006) to 19% (in 2012), Journey Home participants are returning to prison at a rate of 7% in 2012, exceeding our goal of 10%, and keeping our community safer. In 2012 we have interviewed and provided services for 403 individuals. We have provided more intensive services to 75 individuals with only 6 of those individuals returning to prison. 34 have found residency, 44 have found employment, 406 have received support and treatment and an additional 561 bus tokens have been given out to facilitate transportation. Third, our drop-out recovery strategy, HIRE Education Employment Initiative, is also keeping the community safer by helping individuals 18+ get the literacy and numeracy skills, high school equivalency diplomas, life skills, communication skills, and employability skills they need to find and maintain employment. In 2012 we began working with the Madison Metropolitan School District to look at strategies that would help increase the attendance of our students of color, which will be launched in 2013. We are also investing in programs focused on personal safety which includes child and domestic abuse, fire and disaster safety. |
| F990_P03_S00_L00f | Form 990, Part III (Cont. 6) | Self-Reliance and Independence - Seniors and people with disabilities are able to stay in their homes. We work to provide support for seniors and people with disabilities to help them live independently in their homes. During United Way's Safe and Healthy Aging Delegation work, we found that adverse drug events and falls are two acute yet preventable conditions that precipitate hospitalization and institutionalization among older adults. Therefore, we have set a goal to reduce the rate of emergency room visits and hospitalizations of older adults in Dane County caused by adverse drug events and falls by 15% by 2015 as measured by our partnership with healthcare providors. We have implemented four strategies to getting this accomplished. These strategies are as follows: (1) Identify and assess seniors at risk of Adverse Drug Events (ADE) and/or falls in Dane County, (2) Connect physicians and other health care providers with communitybased resources to meet the non-medical needs of their patients that can help prevent falls and Adverse Drug Events, (3) Provide caregivers with access to resources and tools that help seniors remain safe, and (4) Help the community understand and advocate for the prevention of Adverse Drug Events and falls. In 2012, our three prong approach to reduce ADE and falls included the following: 1. Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMR's) - an evidence-based comprehensive screening tool to help trained Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality Collaborative (WPQC) pharmacists detect the risk of adverse drug events for low-income seniors in Dane County. The pharmacists reviews the senior's medications, including prescription and over-the counter medications, herbal therapies, and dietary supplements. After the review, the pharmacist contacts the patient's doctor(s) to discuss any need to make adjustments to the medication the person is taking. We have provided extensive outreach to low-income seniors that have resulted in hundreds receiving Comprehensive Medication Reviews. In 2012, we provided 284 comprehensive medication reviews to older adults and of these older adults 70% received at least one therapy recommendation from a Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality Collaborative pharmacist. The average age of seniors served was 77.5 and they were taking a worrisome average of 13.35 medications, which exposes them to 100% chance of experiencing an Adverse Drug Event. A total of 433 recommendations were made by pharmacists. Our results show that seniors are benefitting from comprehensive medication review services and are pleasantly satisfied with the results of the med review as the average patient satisfaction depicts a 9.46 rating on a 10 point scale. 2. Safety Assessments for the Elderly (S.A.F.E at Home Program) - In-home safety assessments coordinated and administered by a masters-prepared medical social worker with extensive experience with older adults. Research has shown that physiological limitations and hazards in the home environment are two of the major causes of falls in the home. The S.A.F.E. program has proven to be very effective as it involves an initial safety assessment, followed by six months of follow-up phone calls. In 2012, we served 350 low-income seniors ages 65 and older assessing their physiological limitations and hazards in their home. Out of this assessment came 1193 recommendations with 746 of these recommendations being completed (63% of recommendations made were fulfilled after follow-up). Of the seniors served, 187 referrals were made to 40 other community agencies connecting these senior to a range of services which included stepping on classes. The fall rate from participants who had fallen post assessment was 11.43% which is much lower than the national average of 33%. The average age of a senior receiving an in-home assessment was 82 years of age. 3. Falls Prevention Work - (Exercise and Balancing Classes, Walking Club, Stretch and Strength and Tai Chi). In 2012, we served 300 seniors ages 65 and older in the community by engaging them in multiple exercise options through our partner agencies. |
