| Form 990 Page 1 Part I Summary - | United Way of York County, SC (UWYC) Mission Statement is: United Way of York County transforms communities by offering opportunities which improve quality of life. Our Vision Statement is: A community of healthy, educated and financially secure people. In 2015-16, the United Way of York County partnered with Winthrop University's Department of Social Work to conduct a Community Needs Assessment of York County. The community needs assessment will provide an overview of the state of affairs in key human services areas in York County by addressing the following objectives:1. Assess the major community needs in York County, SC2. Identify current services and resources available to address areas of identified need3. Provide a basis for suggesting where services might be neededThe written report on Phase 1 of the community needs assessment presents data on the general population of York County, SC, by highlighting demographic changes as well as social and economic indicators of community well-being.The second phase of the community needs assessment was informed by findings from Phase 1 and explored primary data collected through targeted focus groups of community key informants and stakeholders along with surveys of community members. A total of 548 residents completed the surveys and 73 individuals participated in focus groups, including service users, social service providers, educators and parents, members of the Hispanic community, and community leaders.The results of the Needs Assessment will be used to determine focus areas and to create the Community Impact Agenda of the United Way of York County which will affect long-term positive change. The complete Needs Assessment and Community Impact Agenda will be released in 2016-17.Fundraising and distribution of those funds are key functions of our organization, but not the only function. UWYC convenes and facilitates community discussion to address community issues related to three areas: Education, Financial Stability and Health. UWYC's expanded role in the community through targeted UWYC initiatives and programs have increased the capacity of local agencies and organizations to address priority issues. |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4a | Community Investment Process: Agencies seeking direct funding through UWYC must meet eligibility and financial reporting requirements and demonstrate that their local programs meet identified needs and issues. Agencies approved for funding must submit quarterly financial and outcome reports to maintain accountability and transparency to receive funds. Agencies failing to submit reports in a timely manner may face penalty or forfeit remaining funds for noncompliance of Memorandum of Agreement. The Community Investment Process is a cost-effective way to evaluate agency program applications and to ensure that the people who live and work in the community served by UWYC are represented in funding decisions. The annual Community Investment process utilized more than 40 local volunteers that were assigned to teams that review program applications, make site visits to agencies and interview agency leadership to make informed decisions and funding recommendations. Volunteers come from a wide array of business, government, health care, education and other professions. UWYC trains these volunteers in evaluating program outcomes and reviewing agency financial information. The volunteers examine a number of key indicators related to program and agency performance as follows:1.The programs ability to serve a critical need within the community;2.The extent to which the outcomes are effective, client-focused measures of Community Program success and related to community priorities;3.The programs alignment with community priorities identified by UWYC; and4.The appropriateness of the service delivery strategies for the population receiving services.The Community Investment Cabinet (CIC) consists of volunteers and United Way board members. The CIC evaluates the funding proposals in relationship to local priorities and potential for creating lasting change with available funds for program distribution. The CICs funding recommendation is acted upon and approved UWYCs Board of Directors based on each years projected revenue results. |

UWYC administers the program with direct services and case management provided by UWYC partner agencies: The Salvation Army, Pilgrims Inn, Fort Mill Care Center and Clover Area Assistance Center. Upon payment verification and recommendation for assistance from UWYC partner agencies, UWYC issues payment on behalf of the client to York County Natural Gas Authority. We were able to assist 54 families through this program.Holiday Partners: Holiday Partners purpose is to share resources and reduce duplication of services through a shared database system. Rock Hill School District Three provides the warehouse location. Program registration is taken at the Rock Hill School Districts ParentSmart Resource Center. York School Districts Parenting Partnership Resource Center also takes applications. Trinity United Methodist Church in York distributes toys to families in York. A total of 682 families were served including more than 1,600 children who received gifts through this collaboration. UWYC also serves as fiscal agent for Toys for Happiness and Empty Stocking Fund as described below:Toys for Happiness (TFH): WHRI Radio began this holiday assistance program in 1985 to collect toys for York County families in need. UWYC partnered with Toys for Happiness in 1992 to manage the toy warehouse, volunteers and provide toy distribution to families who qualify for assistance. Cash donations to the TFH program are utilized to purchase toys and gifts when the community toy drive is not sufficient to meet needs. Many community partners hold special events to collect bikes, toys and other gifts.Empty Stocking Fund (ESF): Established and promoted by The Herald for more than 30 years, this program provides financial resources to ensure assistance is provided to those in need during the holiday season. In 2008, UWYC was chosen to administer the Empty Stocking Fund to provide holiday assistance to children and families in need. ESF donations are used to purchase toys and gifts when the community toy drive is not sufficient to meet needs.Project Connect: Project Connect is a one-day event connecting homeless and low-income families to vital community services. Initiated in 2008 by The Regional Chamber of Commerces Leadership York County class, the event sought to assist York County residents who were in need of receiving basic social services. UWYC continues to support this event and partners with the City of Rock Hill and Weed and Seed Urban Rock Hill. On April 30, 2016 Project Connect was held at the Emmett Scott Recreation Center. We had more than 700 attendees, gave out 554 bags of free groceries, provided free haircuts and gave families access to healthcare resources such as diabetes screenings, dental screenings and blood pressure screenings. Other free services offered to participants included Voter Registration, Photo ID cards for adults and ID cards for children.

This year Emmanuel Church of the Nazarene joined efforts to provide additional shelter for overflow of men needing care. A total of 130 unduplicated men were provided winter shelter during November 2015 through March 2016. Each night the shelters were open, the men received a meal, a bed to sleep in, and access to showers and bathroom facilities. We worked with local agencies to place the men in existing programs that will address their long-term needs as space becomes available in appropriate programs in our community.United Ways Call Center 2-1-1: In September 2007, UWYC established this county-wide, federally-designated calling code to provide local residents access to comprehensive information and referral for health and human services.

UWYC supports the following agencies who meet the criteria: A Place for Hope, Boys and Girls Clubs of York County and the Upper Palmetto YMCA. The UWYCs board approved $69,100 in support of these agencies which was used to gain an additional $6,900 from the UWASC/DSS partnership for the above mentioned agencies.Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program: The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP) is a federal program administered by the US Department of Homeland Securitys Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and has been entrusted through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (PL 100-77) to supplement and expand ongoing efforts to provide shelter, food and supportive services for the nations hungry and homeless, and people in economic crisis.The National Board selected United Way Worldwide to once again serve as Secretariat and Fiscal Agent to the National Board. In addition to representatives of National Board organizations, the authorization as revised (PL 102-550) in 1992 requires that a homeless or formerly homeless person be a member of each EFSP Local Board.York County is a funded jurisdiction under Phase 32 with a Local Board responsible for advertising the availability of funds, establishing priorities among community needs, allocation of funds to non-profit and government emergency food and shelter agencies and help monitor program compliance.
