| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1) | Born Learning goal: Children are cared for and have fun as they become prepared for school. We have three major Born Learning strategies that are helping us achieve the goal that 80% of Dane County young children are at age-expected development and ready to begin school by 2020: (1) home visitation, (2) Play and Learn and (3) developmental screening. We served 307 young children and their families with home visiting in 2013. Home Visitation is in-home education and support to low-income parents of young children facing multiple risk factors to help them nurture their children. Our home visitation programs include the Parent-Child Home Program, Welcome Baby, and KinderReady. We served 1,338 children and 1,162 caregivers at 15 Play and Learns sites in 2013. Play and Learn sessions are weekly early childhood and parent enrichment programs that model for parents how to be their children's first teacher. We administered the Ages and Stages screener for early detection of potential developmental delays to 2,968 children in 2013. Our lead partners on these three Born Learning initiatives include Access Community Health Centers, Center for Families, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division, Community Coordinated Child Care, and the Literacy Network. Academic Achievement goal: Students succeed academically and graduate from high school, regardless of race. Our major initiatives in this area are tutoring and academic support programs at the elementary, middle and high school levels to help increase the graduation rate in Dane County to 95% by 2020, with an interim goal of 93.2% by 2016. To help all children succeed in school, the Schools of Hope literacy tutoring mobilized 852 volunteers to tutor 2,828 students at elementary schools in Madison, Middleton/Cross Plains and Sun Prairie. Centro Hispano is the lead agency partner on elementary tutoring. The result: 96% of teachers report volunteers contributed to increase in student skills. In addition we partnered with neighborhood and school-based programs aligned with our vision to promote academic achievement and engagement for more than 2,300 children and youth, including Big Brother Big Sisters, Cambridge Youth Centers, Deerfield Community Center, East Madison Community Center, Goodman Community Center, Kennedy Height Community Center, Literacy Network, Lussier Community Education Center, Madison Schools and Community Recreation, McFarland Community Center, Stoughton Community Center, and Vera Court. We are also working to help middle and high school students succeed in school and life. Our middle school tutoring initiative engaged 569 volunteers to tutor 1,263 students in the Madison, Sun Prairie and Oregon schools. Urban League of Greater Madison is the lead agency partner on middle school tutoring. Our high school tutoring program recruited 196 volunteers to tutor 585 students in the Madison and Middleton schools. Recognizing that students learn best when supported by their parents, more than 600 parents attended programs we organized to model strategies to help children be successful in school. In addition, we partnered with community and school-based programs to promote success in school, work and life for more than 2,440 youth, including Big Brother Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, By Youth For Youth, partners, Centro Hispano, East Madison Community Center, Goodman Community Center, Kennedy Heights Neighborhood Center, Salvation Army, Simpson Street Free Press, and Vera Court. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 2) | United Way engages our community, mobilizes volunteers and strengthens local nonprofits to achieve measurable results and change lives. Our volunteer engagement goal is To increase volunteerism to 800,000 hours in Agenda for Change programs 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 2013, volunteers provided over 496,000 hours of volunteer service dedicated to advancing the Agenda for Change. Nearly 26,000 visitors searched VolunteerYourTime.org to get connected with a volunteer opportunity in Dane County that matched their interest, skills and time availability. 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. In 2013, 250 agency staff and board members participated in our training programs. In 2013, United Way 2-1-1 received 51,881 calls for help in areas including food, rent utilities, support groups, health and dental services, employment and much more. 2-1-1 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is staffed by trained specialists who help individuals and families access health and human services. 2-1-1 was a key partner in the implementation of our HealthConnect initiative (see Healthy for Life section above). Over 4,700 callers were offered preventative healthcare resources through 2-1-1. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 3) | Basic Needs goal: There is a decrease in family homelessness. We have four primary strategies to reduce family homelessness and the number of children in shelter by 50% in Dane County from 2007 to 2015: (1) provide quality housing case management and eviction prevention, (2) increase financial literacy, (3) increase access to free food, and (4) provide direct access to housing through Housing First. Among the results of our work in 2013: (1) 2,330 families and individuals received case management to remain stably housed, (2) More than 3,000 tax filers were assisted in filing state and federal taxes returning $4.278 million in refund dollars and $1.567 million in Earned Income Tax Credits to low-income individuals and families and 1,467 households learned financial literacy skills, (3) 8 million pounds of food were distributed to 150,000 households, a 60% increase from 2006, and (4) 163 families were stably housed in our Housing First programs eliminating their time in shelter and improving potential for their children's' school success. Lead partners in this work include the Community Action Coalition for South-central Wisconsin, Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, the Financial Education Center, Habitat for Humanity, Porchlight, The Road Home, Second Harvest of Southern Wisconsin, and YWCA of Madison. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 4) | Healthy for Life goal: Health issues are identified and treated early. We have three main strategies in this area: (1) providing access to behavioral health services, (2) providing access to physical health services, and (3) providing access to dental services. Connecting people who have low incomes and are uninsured with health care and dental homes is a primary strategy and proven best practice. 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. A top priority in this area is our work to identify and treat behavioral and mental health issues that keep children and youth connected to school, families and the community and on-track for graduation. During the 2012-2013 school year, 2,748 sixth graders were screened for behavioral health issues and referred as needed for treatment. In addition, the FACE-Kids program conducted 102 behavioral health groups for 655 students in 44 schools and 6 off-site locations in 9 Dane County school districts. In addition, more than 2,530 students received mental health support and treatment through partnerships with Agrace, Canopy Center, Catholic Charities, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division, Community Partnerships, Family Services, Hancock Center, and Journey Mental Health and YMCA. In 2013, through United Way's support, 2,800 children and 294 pregnant women received preventive dental care, 1,742 children ages five and under received a well-child exam during the year, and 995 diabetics improved the management of their disease as a result of being connected with a community-based medical home. We partner with multiple health agencies including Access Community Health Centers, Triangle Community Ministry the AIDS Network, American Heart Association, and Community Health Charities. In addition, United Way's new HealthConnect premium assistance program allowed 91 low-income individuals in 2013 to become or remain insured by paying their 2014 premiums for plans purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 5) | Safe Community Strong Neighborhoods goals are: There is a reduction in violence toward individuals and families and More people are on pathways out of poverty. We have two main strategies in this area (1) the HIRE Education Employment Initiative and the (2) Journey Home program. The HIRE initiative keeps our community safe and people on pathways out of poverty by helping them complete a high school diploma, improve their employment and life skills, as well as train for and secure new or improved employment. The initiative began in April of 2013 and within the first 8 months we were able to help 227 people get a diploma, 132 people find employment, and 12 pass their apprenticeship exam for a skilled trade. Our HIRE partners who prepare individuals for their high school diploma and teach employability skills are Literacy Network, Madison College, Madison-Area Urban Ministry, Omega School, and Vera Court. Our HIRE partners who teach employability Skills and provide employment training and placement are Centro Hispano, Urban League, Vera Court, and the YWCA. Another partner on employment issues is the Madison Apprenticeship Program. The Journey Home initiative links ex-offenders who are returning to the community to four research-based strategies: Residency, Employment, Support and Treatment (REST) so they can successfully reintegrate back into the community. In 2013, Journey Home provided services for 676 individuals, including intensive one-to-one services to 71 individuals, only four of whom returned to prison. In 2013, Journey Home participants are returning to prison at a rate of 5.6% ; since the Journey Home program was launched to serve all returning prisoners to Dane County, the return-to-prison rate for Dane County has decreased from 66% (in 2006) to 19% (in 2012). Our lead partner on Journey Home is Madison-Area Urban Ministry. Other partners on our work to help children, youth, women, men and the community remain safe include American Red Cross, Canopy Center, Centro Hispano, Dane County CASA, Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, Family Services, Rainbow Project, Youth Services of South-central Wisconsin, and the YWCA of Madison. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 6) | Self-Reliance and Independence goal: Seniors and people with disabilities are able to stay in their homes. To achieve our 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 we are focusing on two primary strategies: (1) identify seniors at risk of Adverse Drug Events (ADE) and provide them with comprehensive medication reviews and appropriate follow-up and (2) identify seniors at risk of falls and provide falls prevention programs and home assessments with follow-up. Falls and adverse drug events are the two primary preventable causes of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for older adults. In 2013, in partnership with the Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality Collaborative, we provided 257 comprehensive medication reviews to older adults, whose average age was 78. The Safety Assessments for the Elderly (S.A.F.E.) at Home program provided 240 low-income seniors at high fall risk with in-home assessments of their physiological limitations and hazards. Their average age was 82. Out of these assessments came 947 recommendations. Most importantly, the fall rate for our participants post-assessment was 17.2% compared to the national average of 50% for seniors over 80 years old. Our partner on this work is Home Health United. In addition, we supported a variety of important falls prevention programs for 468 seniors ages 65 and older in 2013, such as Exercise and Balancing Classes, Walking Club, Stretch and Strength and Tai Chi. Our partner agencies on these programs include the Catholic Charities, Goodman Community Center, and Northwest Dane Senior Services. We also support case management, nutrition and personal care programs for more than 3,100 seniors. Partner agencies include Agrace, Colonial Club, Jewish Social Services, Journey Mental Health, DeForest Area Community and Senior Center, East Madison-Monona Coalition of the Aging, Independent Living, Middleton Outreach Ministry, North-Eastside Senior Coalition, South Madison Coalition of the Elderly and West Madison Senior Coalition. In 2013 we also worked in partnership with multiple agencies supporting more than 2,150 children, youth and adults with disabilities to remain independent, including Access to Independence, Cornucopia, Epilepsy Foundation, Independent Living, Jewish Social Services, Lutheran Social Services, and NAMI Dane County. |
