COMPARISON OF CURRENT AND PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1
UNITED WAY OF THE BLUEGRASS CHANGED THEIR ACCOUNTING PERIOD FROM YE 12/31 TO YE 6/30 TO BALANCE THEIR FUNDING CYCLE WITH THEIR REPORTING CYCLE. DUE TO THIS CHANGE THE RETURN THAT WAS FILED FYE 6/30/2011 WAS A 6 MONTH SHORT PERIOD RETURN. THE BEGINNING OF YEAR BALANCES REFLECT THOSE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON THE SHORT PERIOD RETURN CAUSING A LARGE FLUCTUATION BETWEEN THE BEGINNING OF YEAR AND END OF YEAR AMOUNTS.
MISSION STATEMENT
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
(CONTINUED FROM LINE 1) UNITED WAY OF THE BLUEGRASS IS A LEADER AND MOTIVATOR OF CHANGE FOR LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY WAS BROUGHT TOGETHER TO DETERMINE THE NEEDS UNIQUE TO CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND CONSENSUS WAS REACHED ON HOW TO SOLVE THEM, BOTH SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM. WE HAVE COMMITTED TO THREE FOCUS AREAS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TODAY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF TOMORROW: * EDUCATION * INCOME * HEALTH THIS CHANGE IN APPROACH HAS FOSTERED A GREAT DEAL OF COOPERATION AND INNOVATION IN THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE DEVELOPED SYSTEMS TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY AND SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAMS WE ARE FUNDING, SO YOU CAN BE ASSURED YOUR DOLLARS WILL HAVE THE MAXIMUM IMPACT ON YOUR COMMUNITY. JOIN US AND INVEST IN YOUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE UNITED WAY OF THE BLUEGRASS.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4E
THE BLUEGRASS COMMUNITY CONNECTOR PROJECT IDENTIFIED 144 INDIVIDUALS OR "CONNECTORS" IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY. CONNECTORS ARE PEOPLE WHO BRING OTHERS TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD BUT OFTEN DON'T ATTRACT MUCH PUBLIC ATTENTION. THEY ARE GRASS-ROOTS DREAMERS AND ORGANIZERS WHO KNOW HOW TO ENGAGE THE RIGHT PEOPLE, GATHER THE RIGHT INFORMATION, CONNECT THE DOTS - AND GET THINGS DONE. THE 144 IDENTIFIED CONNECTORS CAME FROM MORE THAN 5,000 NOMINATIONS. THOSE CONNECTORS WERE CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER, WHICH SHOULD NATURALLY INCREASE COMMUNICATION AND COOPERATION ACROSS CITY LIMITS AND COUNTY LINES. UNITED WAY OF THE BLUEGRASS (UWBG) WORKS COOPERATIVELY WITH BUSINESSES, VOLUNTEERS, INDIVIDUALS AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO INVEST RESOURCES IN COMMUNITY-BASED PROBLEM SOLVING IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION, INCOME (FINANCIAL STABILITY) AND HEALTH. RESOURCES ARE USED TO COMBAT THE NEEDS OF TODAY AND ARE INVESTED IN CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS VIA PARTNER AGENCIES OR LED-BY UNITED WAY. UNITED WAY EXISTS FOR ONE REASON: TO HELP US COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT TAKE ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER TO SOLVE. ISSUES LIKE MAKING SURE CHILDREN ENTER SCHOOL READY TO LEARN AND THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTHCARE, CROSS LINES OF RACE, GENDER, GEOGRAPHY, FAITH AND ECONOMIC STATUS AND CAN ONLY BE ADDRESSED WITH A COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY FOCUS AND ACTION. UNITED WAY IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT, WITH THE HELP OF COUNTLESS VOLUNTEERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, IDENTIFIES THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITY, IDENTIFIES SOLUTIONS TO THE ROOT-CAUSES OF THESE ISSUES, AND BRINGS TOGETHER THE RESOURCES TO MAKE THIS CHANGE. EDUCATION - EDUCATION IS THE CORNERSTONE OF INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY SUCCESS. IT NOT ONLY BRINGS PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY BUT ALSO ENSURES A COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY: A WELL-EDUCATED WORKFORCE ATTRACTS WORLD-CLASS JOBS. BUT ONLY WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER. NEARLY 700 CENTRAL KENTUCKY TEENAGERS DROP OUT OF SCHOOL EACH YEAR - THAT'S TWO KIDS DROPPING OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. 1-IN-4 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE NOT READING AT PROFICIENT LEVELS IN THE BLUEGRASS. ONLY 22% OF LOCAL AREA CHILD CARE CENTERS ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE STARS PROGRAM. THIS CREATES MAJOR PROBLEMS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 20% OF TODAY'S WORKFORCE IS FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE. CHILD-CARE RELATED ABSENCES COST EMPLOYERS $3 BILLION A YEAR. CENTRAL KENTUCKY DROPOUTS MORE THAN $182 MILLION IN LOST WAGES, TAXES AND PRODUCTIVITY OVER THEIR LIFETIMES THAT WE LOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, UNITED WAY IS FIXING THIS BY BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION THROUGH EARLY LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, ENGAGING FAMILIES AND PROVIDING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESSFUL CAREERS. FROM PRESCHOOLERS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, UNITED WAY IS WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE NEXT GENERATION IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SKILLS TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE. OUR WORK IS DESIGNED TO INTERVENE EARLY TO PREVENT THE KINDS OF PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE CHILDREN TO FAIL AND TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO ENCOURAGE OUR YOUTH TO REMAIN PRODUCTIVE AND ENGAGED. WE ARE WORKING TO MAXIMIZE EARLY LEARNING SO OUR CHILDREN ENTER KINDERGARTEN PREPARED FOR SCHOOL AND WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE MORE OF OUR YOUTH GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL WELL-PREPARED FOR THEIR FUTURE. BUT WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE. OUR GOAL IS TO BRING RESOURCES TOGETHER TO SUPPORT EFFORTS THAT ENHANCE CHILDREN'S SUCCESS. WE GET PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS. AND, WE MOBILIZE A COMMUNITY TO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS, AND ACCEPT NOTHING LESS. INCOME - AS MANY AS ONE-THIRD OF WORKING AMERICANS DO NOT EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS. WAGES HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH THE RISING COST OF HOUSING, HEALTHCARE, AND EDUCATION AND CURRENTLY, 40 MILLION AMERICANS ARE WORKING IN LOW-PAYING JOBS WITHOUT BASIC HEALTH AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS. RIGHT HERE IN THE BLUEGRASS, 21,485 CHILDREN LIVE IN POVERTY - ENOUGH TO FILL WHITAKER BANK BALLPARK THREE TIMES! 81,534 LOCAL ADULTS LIVE IN POVERTY - ENOUGH TO FILL RUPP ARENA THREE AND A HALF TIMES! 1-IN-5 FAMILIES IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY DOESN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT. ALMOST 74,000 PEOPLE IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY, OR 12 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, ARE ON FOOD STAMPS. NEARLY 4,000 HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING IN FAYETTE COUNTY ALONE. KENTUCKY RANKS 48TH IN THE NATION IN POVERTY RATE, 43RD IN BANKRUPTCY RATE, AND 39TH IN NET WORTH. 45% OF RENTERS IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD FAIR MARKET RENT. WITH SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY, UNITED WAY IS HELPING FAMILIES INCREASE THE MONEY THEY HAVE, MANAGE AND SAVE IT WELL, AND OBTAIN SIGNIFICANT ASSETS THAT WILL HELP WITH LONG-TERM FINANCIAL SECURITY. FOR FAMILIES WALKING A FINANCIAL TIGHTROPE, UNABLE TO SAVE FOR COLLEGE, A HOME, OR RETIREMENT, UNITED WAY IS HERE TO HELP. TO ADDRESS THE OBSTACLES THAT PREVENT HARD WORKING FAMILIES FROM GETTING AHEAD FINANCIALLY, WE MAKE CERTAIN COMMUNITY-CHANGE STRATEGIES ARE IN PLACE TO HELP FAMILIES MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS WHILE GAINING THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO PLAN FOR, AND ACCOMPLISH, THEIR LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY ACHIEVE FINANCIAL STABILITY. BY BRINGING TOGETHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WE HELP LOWER-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ACHIEVE FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE BY PROVIDING THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO MAXIMIZE THEIR INCOME, BUILD SAVINGS AND GAIN ASSETS. UNITED WAY PROVIDES BOTH AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE BY EXPANDING THE AVAILABILITY OF EMERGENCY BASIC NEEDS (FOOD, HEAT, SHELTER) IN OUR COMMUNITY AND PROVIDING SEAMLESS ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL SERVICES THROUGH 2-1-1. UNITED WAY ALSO SUPPORTS LONG-TERM RECOVERY OF FAMILIES THROUGH INCREASING HOUSEHOLD INCOME; OBTAINING JOB SKILLS; PROVIDING FINANCIAL EDUCATION; GAINING, SUSTAINING AND PROTECTING ASSETS; AND ATTAINING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. HEALTH - UNFORTUNATELY, TOO MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS LACK ACCESS TO BASIC HEALTH CARE - IN PARTICULAR PREVENTIVE CARE WHICH CAN REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF CHRONIC DISEASES LIKE DIABETES OR DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS EARLY AND INTERVENE TO PREVENT COSTLY COMPLICATIONS FROM CONDITIONS SUCH AS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. WITH HEALTH CARE COSTS OUTPACING INFLATION AND GROWTH IN WAGES AND WITH MANY CENTRAL KENTUCKIANS LIVING WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, EVEN A MINOR HEALTH CRISIS CAN LEAD FAMILIES TO FINANCIAL RUIN. 11,659 CHILDREN AND 121,183 ADULTS ARE WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. 96,350 CENTRAL KENTUCKIANS ARE OBESE. 1-IN-4 PREGNANT WOMEN SMOKE DURING PREGNANCY. 37% OF KENTUCKY'S CHILDREN ARE OVERWEIGHT. 68% OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY'S POPULATION IS EITHER OBESE OR OVERWEIGHT. UNITED WAY IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH PREVENTIVE HEALTH FOR CHILDREN, HEALTHY LIVING FOR ADULTS AND SENIORS, AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES FOR A HEALTHY LIFE. FROM ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE TO NUTRITION AND FITNESS, UNITED WAY OF THE BLUEGRASS AND ITS PARTNERS ARE TARGETING HEALTH ISSUES THAT NOT ONLY AFFECT INDIVIDUALS, BUT OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
