| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | Founded in 1939, Heart of Florida United Way (United Way) is Central Florida's largest supporter of local health and human service agencies. In 2015-2016, $46 million dollars in value added went back into Central Florida including over $18.6 million raised during the annual campaign that helps fund local health and human service programs. Our Mission: United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. United Way touched the lives of 650,000 individuals through Investing in Results grant supported programs, as well as through direct services designed to create a thriving community where adults and children achieve their full potential with access to a solid education, good health, safe neighborhoods and jobs that pay a living wage. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | In addition to raising money on behalf of other nonprofits (Investing in Results), United Way also provides direct services and runs programs that are vitally important to the Central Florida Community. These programs in services include Central Florida College Access Network, the FamilyWize discount prescription program, Schools and Communities: Together for Tomorrow serving Title I schools, ReadingPals providing volunteer led, weekly pre-literacy skill development interventions in 19 VPK classrooms, United Way's Financial Stability Coalition assisting families with free tax assistance, Emergency and Homelessness Services, Pathways to Success providing mentoring and support to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade high school students, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, and the Gifts in Kind Center. The following provides a snapshot of a few of United Way's programs and services and key accomplishments. UNITED WAY INVESTING IN RESULTS United Way improves the lives of individuals and families, building strong communities by uniting people and organizations to create measurable results and a lasting impact. United Way is focused on prevention and finding long-term solutions for pressing problems. Known as Investing in Results, this philosophy is guiding our work to move the needle in four critical impact areas: Education, Income, Health and Basic Needs. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Education: United Way served 13,602 children, youth, and parents/guardians through program services designed to boost every child's chance for success in school, work and life. 70% of ReadingPals students performed at grade level in reading, 76% of children demonstrated kindergarten readiness, 95% of children and youth improved/maintained school attendance rates, 97% of children and youth were promoted to the next grade level, and 96% of high school seniors graduated on time, 90% of AmeriCorps Pathways to Success students mentored demonstrated improved knowledge in college/career readiness, and 81% of students are enrolled to attend a college, university, or technical program within 12 months. Income: 157,757 individuals and their families benefitted from services and initiatives for low-income working families to succeed in the five building blocks of financial stability: sustaining employment, income supports, affordable housing, manageable budgets and increased savings and assets. 96% improved their employability skills, 100% accessed public and/or employer benefits to increase income supports, 97% obtained/maintained affordable housing, 96% increased financial literacy, and 100% acquired assets. Health: 31,712 Central Floridians participated in programs and services and an investment of nearly $6.4 million that helped them avoid risky behaviors and increase their health and wellbeing. 91% of parents/caregivers improved their parenting skills, 93% of children demonstrated age appropriate levels of developmental functioning, 83% increased their knowledge of healthy food and exercise options, 79% became enrolled in health insurance programs, and 82% achieved one or more health care treatment goals. Basic Needs: United Way worked to reduce the level of crisis for 453,015 of our community members by helping to meet immediate, emergency needs. 94% of eligible households received mainstream resources, 96% of seniors reported maintained or improved ability to live independently, and 96% of seniors reported maintained or improved physical and mental well-being. UNITED WAY 2-1-1 United Way's 2-1-1 Information and Assistance Helpline is the link between someone in distress and the help they need. This vital in-house resource provides basic needs assistance to individuals. Call specialists stand-by 24/7/365 to assist in suicide intervention, regional, or national disasters. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS The United Way 2-1-1 responded to 125,202 contacts during FY15/16. Of these contacts, 2,897 were chats, 2,845 were texts and 1,811 were emails; representing a 15% increase in electronic contacts over FY14/15. United Way 2-1-1 responded to 18,782 crisis contacts (1,577 of which required suicide prevention services); representing a 64% increase in crisis contacts over FY 14/15. United Way 2-1-1 also scheduled 2,476 families for a financial assistance eligibility appointment with a case manager, provided information to over 3,000 community members regarding the Earned Income Tax Credit program, provided information to over 1,500 community members about the Affordable Care Act, and scheduled 892 appointments for residents seeking enrollment assistance in the National Health Care Exchange. In FY15/16, 335 families successfully completed the Smoke Free Homes program with 2-1-1 support calls and 223 families received Help Me Grow navigation services. UNITED WAY EMERGENCY AND HOMELESSNESS SERVICES (EHS) PROGRAM Tri-county residents facing impending homelessness, hunger and other emergencies also received help through United Way's Emergency & Homelessness Services (EHS). The network of agencies under EHS provide the case work, verify/document needs, determine client eligibility, and submit assistance requests for vendor payment processing. The needs addressed by this program are: 1) providing allocation and expenditure accountability to funders by ensuring that funding guidelines are followed and clients are served confidentially and expeditiously; and 2) preventing duplication of services by providing a centralized database that is accessible to participating agencies, enabling them to view previous assistance history of clients and track fund balances. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 4,697 tri-county residents facing impending homelessness, hunger and other emergencies received help through United Way's Emergency & Homelessness Services (EHS) division through a network of agencies that provide case management, determination of client eligibility, and submission of assistance requests for vendor payment processing. 256 individuals avoided or recovered from homelessness through veteran assistance programs which help clients to reduce debt, increase income, and build self-sufficiency. 640 people received critical assistance with rent, mortgage, and utilities through more than $872,000 in federal Emergency Food & Shelter Program (EFSP) funds, which United Way distributed to supplement the work of local agencies, and 3,801 residents in need were able to keep their electricity on thanks to utility assistance programs that United Way administers in partnership with the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), Duke Energy and others. UNITED WAY FINANCIAL STABILITY COALITION The Central Florida Financial Stability Coalition addresses growing poverty in Central Florida by promoting financial literacy for low-income residents, improving access to financial services and by providing resources during eviction, foreclosure or other crises. As part of the Financial Stability Coalition activities, United Way promotes the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC),VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), MyFreeTaxes (free self-preparation of taxes with online access), and the FamilyWize card, a free, easy-to-use prescription discount program which reduces the cost of medications by an average of 35 percent. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Through United Way's Financial Stability Coalition, 3,802 low-to moderate-households were able to receive tax refunds or claim the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. A total of 10,304 received free tax preparation through the work of volunteers who were available at convenient VITA locations, AARP locations, and through the MyFreeTaxes online tax preparation system. RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PROGRAM United Way serves as the lead agency for Ryan White Part B/General Revenue, a Florida Department of Health funded program that provides care and support to HIV/AIDS consumers in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Brevard counties. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS The Ryan White Program provided funding to 8 HIV/AIDS service organizations in Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Brevard counties. With funding totaling over $2 million, much needed services and linkages to care for persons infected with HIV/AIDS were provided in 10 service categories, including Outpatient Ambulatory Care, Case Management, Non-Medical Case Management, Pharmaceutical Assistance, Transportation, Mental Health Services, Health Insurance Premiums/Co-pays, Food Baskets, Medical Nutritional Therapy and Dental Care. Over 2,000 persons infected with this disease were served during the reporting period. |
