Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO IMPROVE LIVES IN JACKSON COUNTY BY MOBILIZING THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE LASTING CHANGES IN COMMUNITY CONDITIONS. STAFF, AGENCY PARTNERS AND HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS COLLABORATE TO ASSESS NEEDS, TO CREATE PLANS THAT ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS, AND TO RAISE AND INVEST THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT THOSE PLANS. IN ADDITION TO CONDUCTING THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN, THE ORGANIZATION LEADS AND/OR PARTICIPATES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF 2-1-1 SERVICE FOR JACKSON COUNTY, THE JACKSON COUNTY SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION, AND THE UNITED WAY CENTER NONPROFIT CAMPUS. WE ALSO REMAIN INVOLVED WITH SEVERAL INITIATIVES WE HELPED FOUND, INCLUDING THE TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION COALITION, PROJECT ACCESS WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP AND THE GREAT START COLLABORATIVE OF JACKSON COUNTY.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6
VOLUNTEERS SERVE ON VARIOUS COMMITEES AND WORK TO HELP THE ORGANIZATION ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION. THESE VOLUNTEERS HAVE BANDED TOGETHER TO SHARE IDEAS, RESOURCES, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN NEED. THE VOLUNTEERS WORK AS TEAMS, FOCUSED ON THE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES FACING OUR COMMUNITY: HELPING CHILDREN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL, MAKING SURE FAMILIES ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE, AND MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
DIVERSE LEARNING STYLES; AND SUPPORTING FAMILIES TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. PROGRAMS FUNDED INCLUDE BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MENTORING, SCOUTING, SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, EARLY TRUANCY INTERVENTION, FAMILY COUNSELING, AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS AND MANY OTHERS. ENERGIZING EDUCATION EARLY LITERACY PROGRAM EXPANDED TO TWO SCHOOLS AND SCALED UP TO SERVE MANY MORE THIS COMING YEAR, AS THE UNITED WAY CONTINUES ALIGNING FUTURE INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION WITH THE CRADLE2CAREER COMMUNITY PLAN. FINANCIAL STABILITY "PROMOTING FINANCIAL STABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY" IS THE FINANCIAL STABILITY COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS TEAM MISSION. GIVEN OUR COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, THIS TEAM INVESTED NEARLY 311,400 IN ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS, AND ADMINISTERED SEVERAL OTHER FUNDING SOURCES SUPPORTING PROGRAMS PRIMARILY MEETING BASIC NEEDS; PROVIDING UTILITY, FOOD AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH 2-1-1, THE FOOD BANK AND END HUNGER COALITION, AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTNERS. PROMOTING A SAFE HOME ENVIRONMENT IS ALSO CRITICAL; FUNDING TO THE AWARE SHELTER, JOHN GEORGE AND JACKSON FRIENDLY HOMES FURTHER THAT GOAL. LEGAL SERVICES, HOME OWNERSHIP SUPPORTS, THE GUARDIAN PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL FREEDOM SERVICES ARE FUNDED, AND THIS YEAR UWJC WAS A PRIMARY SUPPORTER OF JACKSON'S SUCCESSFUL VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX PREPRATION SERVICE, WHICH BROUGHT OVER 5,000,000 IN TAX RETURNS AND CREDITS BACK TO OUR POOREST WORKING HOUSEHOLDS HEALTH "PARTNERING TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE AND SUSTAIN COMMUNITY HEALTH" IS THE MISSION OF THE HEALTH CST. THIS TEAM FORMALLY ALIGNED WITH THE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATION, AND IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON A) ENSURING ALL JACKSON COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH RESOURCES (INCLUDING PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT), AND B) FOSTERING HEALTHIER BEHAVIORS. THE TEAM INVESTED OVER 285,000 FROM ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS AND DESCRETIONAY GRANTS (THOSE GRANTS WERE SUPPORTED BY THE ALLEGIANCE FOUNDATION). ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL AND STAFF SUPPORT WAS INVESTED INTO PROGRAMS WHICH DELIEVERED IMPRESSIVE RESULTS. THE TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION INITIATIVE ALSO CONTINUED ITS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, CONTINUING TO DRIVE DOWN THE RATES OF TEEN PREGNANCY IN OUR COUNTY, AND THE JACKSON COUNTY SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION (HOUSED BY UNITED WAY) CONTINUED ITS WORK OF KEEPING KIDS AND ADULTS FROM ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG USAGE, INCLUDING ADMINISTERING A FEDERAL DRUG FREE COMMUNITIES GRANT AS WELL AS LOCAL AND STATE FUNDING. CAPACITY BUILDING THE UNITED WAY FUNDS SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND HOLDS THOSE PROGRAMS ACCOUNTABLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR PROJECTED RESULTS. HOWEVER, MANY OF OUR PARTNERS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO RAISE THE GENERAL OPERATIONAL SUPPORT WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO ENSURE QUALITY AND STABILITY IN THEIR PROGRAMMING, AND TO ASSIST UNITED WAY IN OUR ONGOING PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ALL UNITED WAY FUNDED PARTNERS WERE PROVIDED WITH PAID CAPACITY BUILDING SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH THEY USED FOR ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENTS AND TO ADDRESS THEIR CHALLENGES IN GOVERNANCY, FUND DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING OR OTHER IDENTIFIED AREAS. OVER 26,200 FROM ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS WAS SPENT FOR THOSE SERVICES. COMMUNITY CAPACITY WAS ALSO STRENGTHENED BY OUR SUPPORT OF CENTRAL MICHIGAN 2-1-1 (SUPPORTING JACKSON COUNTY CALLS AND SERVING AS FIDUCIARY FOR ALL REGIONAL PARTNERS);UNITED WAY SPENT 44,593 IN LOCAL FUNDS TO PROVIDE 2-1-1 SERVICE TO JACKSON COUNTY THIS YEAR. FOSTERING PHILANTHROPY THROUGH DONOR CHOICE UNITED WAY STRIVES TO MAKE WISE INVESTMENTS WITH OUR DONORS' FUNDS. UNDESIGNATED GIFTS ALLOW OUR COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS TEAMS TO SUPPORT JACKSON'S CAREFULLY CRAFTED PLANS TO IMPROVE EDUCATION, FAMILY FINANCIAL STABILITY AND HEALTH IN OUR COUNTY. HOWEVER, MANY DONORS STILL PREFER TO DESIGNATE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIFIC CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, AND UNITED WAY CONTINUES TO COLLECT, PROCESS AND DISTRIBUTE THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS AS A SERVICE TO OUR DONORS. 163,104 IN DIRECT DESIGNATIONS WAS RECEIVED THROUGH THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN, PROCESSED (WITH PROCESSING FEES DEDUCTED) AND DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE DESIGNATED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. UNITED WAY ALSO CONTINUED TO ADMINISTER THE STATE EMPLOYEES COMBINED CAMPAIGN FOR THE COUNTY, BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO JACKSON'S NONPROFITS.
