| 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. In 2015-2016, the United Way of York County partnered with Winthrop University Department of Social Work to conduct a Community Needs Assessment of York County. The Community Needs Assessment provided an overview of the state of affairs in key human services areas in York County. The written report of Phase 1 of the Community Needs Assessment presented data on the general population of York County, SC by highlighting demographic changes as well as social and economic indicators of community wellbeing. This data has been updated each year in order to continue its relevance and to represent our changing community. 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 key community informants, stakeholders, and users of the various social services in York County. In March of 2018, the services of Perspectives Consulting Group, Inc. was utilized to continue building upon the needs assessment and to determine the future direction of United Way of York County. Perspectives is the only research and consulting firm in the US that is specialized in guiding United Ways to adopt an Issue Focus model. Perspectives worked with United Way to survey the community, donors, top campaigns, partner agencies, and other United Ways. From these surveys, Perspectives and United Way of York County worked to determine the greatest needs of the community and how United Way could fill this gap. This research aided in deciding our new direction. We carefully reviewed our potential to impact a variety of social issues and determined we would have the greatest capability and capacity to impact the issue of financial stability. Because of the research and significant deliberation, our board determined that UWYC can best meet the needs of our community and donors by adopting an issue focus that addresses financial stability in our community. In April of 2019, the board and staff established the bold goal: Help 3000 families achieve financial stability by 2030. UWYC is changing because we want to be as effective as possible in our community- we want to measurably change lives in York County. The issues our community faces are complex, and we cannot change our communitys situation without concentrated efforts. We must focus our efforts and our funding criteria. Our donors expect us to play an engaged role in impacting the community that goes beyond vetting our agencies and allocating funds to responsible partners. We want the community to come together to find solutions and not band-aids to this issue.United Way of York County will be holding a series of summits beginning in August of 2019 to determine the gaps and opportunities around the issue of financial stability. As these conversations take place, we will be able to identify better the tangible ways we can address the issue of financial stability. There are numerous root causes of whether an individual or family is financially stable. The summits will explore these causes and the areas where United Way of York County and the community can be effective. Once we identify the root causes, we will have metrics in place to measure our progress toward our goal. |
| 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 semi-annual 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 43 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 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 the board approved Impact Priorities and potential for creating lasting change with available funds for program distribution. The CICs funding recommendation is acted upon and approved by UWYCs Board of Directors based on each years projected revenue results. This year we utilized an internet platform entitled Community Force to collect grant applications and other reports. All agencies submitted their eligibility, application, and all reports via this system. CIC members reviewed and evaluated the agency applications via the CF system. Agency Designations: During the Annual Community Campaign, individuals may identify UWYCs Partner Agencies or another United Way as a recipient of their donation. Designated dollars are paid to designees as pledges are paid throughout the year. |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4b | The following summarizes UWYCs Community Impact programs and activities:Feel the Heat: York County Natural Gas Authority established this program in 2006 through customer contributions added to natural gas billing statements to assist senior citizens and/or disabled individuals with utility payments that meet poverty guidelines. UWYC administers the program with direct services and case management provided by UWYC partner agencies: Pilgrims Inn, Fort Mill Care Center, P.A.T.H., and Clover Area Assistance Center. Upon payment verification and recommendation for assistance from these agencies, UWYC issues payment on behalf of the client to York County Natural Gas Authority. For fiscal year 2018-19, 128 families received a total of $27,902 through this program.Holiday Partners: In partnership with OTS Media/WRHI Radio Stations Toys for Happiness Program and The Heralds Empty Stocking Fund, United Way of York County, SC, coordinates Holiday Partners, a program that provides toys and gifts to children birth to 14 years old during the holiday season. Applications are taken by the various school districts in York County, nonprofits, and other groups. United Way hosts a centralized database to assist in avoiding duplication of services and resources. Families must provide documentation for each child and demonstrate a need for our services.Holiday Partners depends on the generosity of the community either through financial or toy donations. Volunteers from various business and civic groups assist in all aspects of the program from collecting money, toys, taking applications, setting up the toy warehouse, and assisting with the distribution on various days during the holiday season. Last year over 250 volunteers gave more than 1,100 hours to provide magical memories for over 1,900 children in our community. Connecting the Dots: Connecting the Dots is a one-day event connecting homeless and low-income families to vital work force development resources. 2019 was the second year that we offered this program to our community. In partnership with the City of Rock Hill Weed and Seed Urban Rock Hill program we offered dynamic speakers and presenters, who brought valuable workforce development knowledge to participants. This event consisted of a keynote speaker that motivated and inspired participants. We had over 30 vendors who worked in the areas of career development and job placement. We also had childcare resources and mental health resources on-site; these two areas were identified as key concerns from our 2015 Needs Assessment. The Mens Warming Center: Established in 2007 as a collaborative venture with York County Council, UWYC administers several grants to provide security services and shelter management for homeless men during winter months when other year-round shelter providers are full. Key partners include: Bethel United Methodist Church, UWYC, and many volunteers. This year, other local churches joined efforts to provide additional shelter for overflow of men needing care. 208 unduplicated men were provided winter shelter during November 2018 through April 2019. 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. United Ways Call 2-1-1 is staffed 24/7, is an easy to remember number, confidential and free service accessible from both cell and land line telephones in York County. Callers are connected to our accredited call center in Columbia, SC, administered by the United Way Association of South Carolina. Certified call specialists make appropriate referrals to all area service providers in York County. In 2018-2019, more than 1,334 calls were received, and more than 4,316 community needs were identified and referred to appropriate agencies and organizations. Rent and Utility assistance were the most requested needs for York County residents. In 2018-19 more than 95,730 website visits were made, and 1,019 new SC 2-1-1 App downloads were made. 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 35 and was awarded $100,784. The UWYC is responsible for managing a local EFSP board whose role is to advertise the availability of funds, establish priorities among community needs, allocation of funds to non-profit and government emergency food and shelter agencies, and help monitor program compliance. UWYC provides staffing for administration of the York County jurisdiction and maintains a shared client database to prevent duplication of service. Local recipient organizations are: Clover Area Assistance Center, Housing and Development Corporation of Rock Hill, and The Salvation Army. Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive: Each year York County community residents participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. UWYC partners with the National Association of Letter Carriers through our local post offices and coordinates with food banks that need their shelves restocked during critical summer months. Residents are encouraged to leave non-perishable food items by their mailbox for local mail carriers to pick-up. On May 11, 2019 - 23,087 pounds of food were collected. In York County, participating pantries that received food items were: Clover Area Assistance Center, Fort Mill Care Center, Love & Cherish, Project Hope, P.A.T.H., Pilgrims Inn and, Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen, Gods Kitchen, and St. Marys Food Pantry. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program: The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. In addition to providing free tax preparation, VITA works to ensure everyone in the community receives all the tax credits and deductions for which they are eligible; especially Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Education Tax Credits, and Child Care Tax deductions. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. UWYC assists by promoting this service annually to eligible residents of York County. Over 2,418 people received assistance filing their 2018 tax returns this year. More than $ 1.1 million in Earned Income Tax credits were reported and over $4,371,683 was refunded to filers. This years total economic impact on York County was significant.FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card: This program offers a free prescription drug discount card with no eligibility requirements. Over 3,000 York County Citizens saved $325,172 on their prescriptions for the year ended June 30, 2019. To get your free card, you may visit our website at www.unitedwayofyc.org.
