| 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 our 4-year olds 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 286 young children, and their families, with home visiting in 2015. 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. In 2015, 90% of the children who graduated from the Parent-Child Home Program had skills that were Kindergarten Ready. We served 1,1,002 children and 821 caregivers at 17 Play and Learns sites in 2015. Play and Learn sessions are weekly early childhood and parent enrichment programs that model for parents how to be their children's first teacher. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire was administered in all home visitation and Play and Learn programs as well as through community partners. Our lead partners on these three Born Learning initiatives include Access Community Health Centers, Center for Families, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division, and Community Coordinated Child Care. Academic Success 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 401 volunteers and a team of 24 AmeriCorps members to tutor 1,750 students at elementary schools in Madison, Middleton/Cross Plains and Sun Prairie in the 2015-2016 school year. Centro Hispano is the lead agency partner on elementary tutoring. To address summer reading loss, also called the "summer slide," we provided 418 low-income students with 5 self-selected books during the summer of 2015. The result: more than 75% of students maintained or increased their reading levels compared to 49% in summer school but not in the program. We are also working to help middle and high school students succeed in school and life. In the 2015-2016 school year our middle school tutoring initiative engaged 473 volunteers to tutor 948 students in literacy and math 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, Achievement Connections, recruited 191 volunteers, as well as a team of 27 AmeriCorps members, to tutor 152 students in the Madison and Middleton schools in Algebra and Geometry in the 2015-2016 school year. 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 neighborhood, community and school-based programs to promote academic achievement and engagement and success in school, work and life for more than 4,412 youth, including 100 Black Men of Madison, Big Brother Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, Briarpatch Youth Services, Centro Hispano, East Madison Community Center, Goodman Community Center, Kennedy Heights Neighborhood Center, Literacy Network, Lussier Community Education Center, Madison Schools and Community Recreation, McFarland Community Center, Salvation Army, Simpson Street Free Press, the Urban League of Greater Madison, Vera Court, the Worker Center and the YWCA of Madison. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 2) | 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 2015-2016 school year 2,584 sixth graders were screened for behavioral health issues and referred as needed for treatment. The FACE-Kids program conducted 134 behavioral health groups for 854 students in 50 schools and 4 off-site locations in 9 Dane County school districts. In addition, more than 3,400 students received mental health support and treatment through partnerships with Agrace, Canopy Center, Catholic Charities, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division (Children's Service Society of WI), East Madison Community Center , Family Services Madison, and Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy. In 2015, through United Way's support, 3,055 children received preventive and/or restorative dental care through school and community based partnerships. 1,875children ages five and under received a well-child exam during the year, 120 children with ADHD received medical and mental health care and monitoring in a primary care setting, and 932 diabetics improved the management of their disease as a result of being connected with a community-based medical home. United Way of Dane County's HealthConnect premium assistance program managed total payments of $1 million that allowed 1,351 low-income individuals to become or remain insured by paying their 2015 premiums for 1,074 plans purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. We partner with multiple health agencies including Access Community Health Centers, Triangle Community Ministry, AIDS Resource Center of WI, American Heart Association, and Community Health Charities. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 3) | 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 .employment. The initiative began in April of 2013. In 2015 since that time, we were able to help 13people get a diploma, 469 people find employment, 65 people found jobs earning $15 an hour or more and 246 people have received a promotion. Our HIRE partners who prepare individuals for their high school diploma and teach employability skills are Literacy Network, Omega School, and Vera Court. Our HIRE partners who teach employability Skills and provide employment training and placement are Centro Hispano, Madison area Urban Ministry, Urban League of Greater Madison, Vera Court, and the YWCA. 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 2015, Journey Home provided services for 650 individuals (221 individuals were interviewed for services), including intensive one-to one services to 79 individuals, only four of whom returned to prison. In 2015, Journey Home participants are returning to prison at a rate of 5.1%; 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, ARC Community Services, Canopy Center, Centro Hispano, Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, Family Services, Rainbow Project, Youth Services of South-central Wisconsin, and the YWCA of Madison. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 4) | 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, providing training , resources and networking opportunities to increase the diversity of nonprofit and United leadership volunteers, increasing opportunities for corporate volunteers, and developing youth leadership opportunities through volunteering. In 2015, volunteers provided over 437,000 hours of volunteer service dedicated to advancing the Agenda for Change. Nearly 35,000 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 2015, 435 agency staff and board members participated in our training programs. In 2015, United Way 2-1-1 received over 41,000 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 continued to be a key partner in the implementation of our HealthConnect initiative (see Healthy for Life section above). Over 9,000 callers were offered preventative healthcare resources through 2-1-1. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 5) | 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 in 2015: (1) provide quality housing case management and eviction prevention, (2) increase financial literacy, (3) increase access to food, and (4) provide direct access to housing through Housing First. Among the results of our work in 2015: (1) 2,330 families and individuals received case management to remain stably housed, (2) 3,401 tax filers were assisted in filing state and federal taxes yielding $3,790,546 in tax refunds, of which $1,515,179 were from Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) to low-income individuals and families and 1,467 households learned financial literacy skills, (3) 8.7 million pounds of food or were distributed to 158,000 households, and (4) 170 families were stably housed in our Housing First programs eliminating their time in shelter and improving potential for their children's' school success. In 2015 we also developed and implemented a Housing Locator program to increase relationships with area landlords and decrease the time families spend looking for apartments. 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, YWCA of Madison, city of Madison and Dane County Housing Authorities. |
| 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 2015, in partnership with the Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality Collaborative, we provided 150 comprehensive medication reviews to older adults, whose average age was 78. The Safety Assessments for the Elderly (S.A.F.E.) at Home program (a partnership with Home Health United) provided 220 high fall risk low-income seniors with in-home assessments of their physiological limitations and hazards. The average age of a participant is 82 with a median age of 86. Out of these assessments came 695 recommendations. Most importantly, the fall rate for our participants post-assessment was 18.49% compared to the national average of 50% for seniors over 80 years old. In addition, we supported a variety of important falls prevention programs for 255 seniors ages 65 and older in 2015, such as Exercise and Balancing Classes, Walking Club, Stretch and Strength and Tai Chi. Our partner agencies on these programs include Goodman Community Center and North/Eastside Senior Coalition. We also support case management, nutrition, transportation, caregiving and personal care programs for more than 3,000 seniors. Partner agencies include Catholic Charities, Colonial Club, DeForest Area Community and Senior Center, East Madison Monona Coalition of the Aging, Goodman Community Center, Home Health United, Independent Living, Jewish Social Services, Journey Mental Health, North/Eastside Senior Coalition, South Madison Coalition of the Elderly, Vera Court, and West Madison Senior Coalition. In 2015, we aligned our disabilities portfolio with a plan to help youth with emotional and behavioral disorders transition successfully from high school to postsecondary education and/or employment. This plan is referred to as Youth Transition and three new programs were piloted from this plan. We continue to work in partnership with agencies that help youth and adults with other disabilities (ex. Deaf & hard of hearing, epilepsy, etc.) to remain independent. We have served over 500 participants. Partner agencies for this work include Access to Independence, Briar Patch Youth Services, Epilepsy Foundation, Goodman Community Center, Madison Metropolitan School District, NAMI Dane County and Porchlight. |
