| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | AGENCY ALLOCATIONS: MESA UNITED WAY'S COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROCESS EMPOWERS PEOPLE WHO LIVE OR WORK IN MESA TO HELP INVEST COMMUNITY CHEST CONTRIBUTIONS WHERE THEY MATTER MOST. VOLUNTEERS FROM MESA SCHOOLS, COMPANIES, CHURCHES, AND NEIGHBORHOODS WORK IN TEAMS, VISITING EACH AGENCY IN THEIR AREA OF INTEREST TO SEE FIRST-HAND HOW LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED. THEY ASK IN-DEPTH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION TO DETERMINE ITS FINANCIAL HEALTH, CLIENT OUTCOMES AND AREAS IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT. ONCE THE VISITS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THE TEAMS MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING TO MESA UNITED WAY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IN MANY CASES, FUNDING IS INCREASED OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR TO HELP THE AGENCY BETTER SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, THE VOLUNTEERS DETERMINE THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE BETTER SPENT IN A DIFFERENT PROGRAM OR AGENCY, AND RECOMMEND REDUCING OR ELIMINATING FUNDING. THE RESULT IS AN ASSURANCE THAT DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SPENT WISELY, AND IN A MANNER THAT HAS MIXIMUM POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE OF MESA. WITH THE COMMUNITY CARE DOLLARS, 29 SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES PROVIDE 42 PROGRAMS TO DELIVER SERVICES THAT ENABLE CHILDREN TO LIVE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND BECOME RESPONSIBLE, CONTRIBUTING ADULTS; PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE SAFE SHELTER, FOOD AND OTHER SERVICES TO MESA RESIDENTS FACING UNFORESEEN HARDSHIPS; PROGRAMS THAT ENABLE PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES TO LIVE UP TO THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL; PROGRAMS THAT HELP FRAIL ELDERLY PEOPLE AND THOSE SUFFERING ALZHEIMER'S OR OTHER FORMS OF DEMENTIA. |
