| Form 990 Page 1 Part I Summary - | United Way of York County, SC (UWYC) Mission Statement is: Help 3,000 York County families achieve financial stability by 2030 As the backbone of our new issue-focused model, UWYC has set a Bold Goal to help 3,000 York County Families achieve financial stability by 2030. A financially stable family is one that can meet their needs without assistance. It is easy to be passionate about work that matters. To achieve the bold goal, UWYC has focused its efforts on the root causes of poverty in York County that are under-addressed, most pressing, and that can be led by United Way. By analyzing the data provided through needs assessments, community summits, and conversations with clients, UWYC believes that they can significantly move the needle in leading families towards financial stability by focusing on two Root Causes: Underemployment and Need for Financial Literacy. UWYC believes that the overlapping and intersecting nature of these root causes will allow United Way to tell a story of success in York County. Through multiple programs, the agency will be able to lead working families toward financial stability.United Way Summit Series: In the fall of 2019, the United Way did a series of community summits to determine which roots causes were most pressing to York County families. Between August 29 and November 21, 2019, 183 non-profit, religious, educational, and government leaders from around York County attended at least one Community Summit hosted by United Way of York County. These leaders, representing 97 distinct agencies, were sent a short survey asking them to reflect on their experiences. 81 responses were completed for a 44% completion rate. Below is the data from that survey. UWYC feels that the most prevalent finding from the summit series was the need for collaboration among and between agencies. 97.3% of all participants and 96.5% of those who attended all three summits agreed that there were opportunities to network with other participants that will lead to future collaboration.UWYC is dedicated to an evidenced-based, data-driven focus; providing statistics and metrics to our community partners to back up our claim that Financial Stability is an issue in York County is a step in the right direction towards our Bold Goal. 90% of those who did not originally think Financial Stability was an issue in York County have changed their mind, following the summit series. With only half of agencies working in Financial Stability, it shows that there is room for growth and improvement in this area in York County. 51.4% of the attendees work in the space of Financial Stability in any capacity. UWYCs new direction seeks to fill a gap in services in York County. Moving towards community-level tracking on Financial Stability in York County is not something that will happen overnight. The summit series revealed that Financial Stability tracking on a meaningful, community level is not happening in York County. 43% of organizations working in the space of Financial Stability track their impact.Root Cause Indicators: In addition to the findings of the summit we also worked with Winthrop University Department of Social Work to determine the specific causes of poverty affecting York County families. A lack of skilled workers and a need for training were identified as gaps in the educational system in York County. United Way believes this is a space where our work can effectively help alleviate poverty and dependence on assistance for York County families. Addressing the root causes of Underemployment and Financial Literacy will help families to cope with unforeseen circumstances by providing financial coaches and financial literacy training. In addition to financial literacy programs, UWYCs new model will help families achieve employment that provides a living wage. Families that are budgeting and making wise financial decisions are more likely to be successful in obtaining adequate and permanent housing. UWYC staff believes that by selecting overlapping and intersecting root causes, they have created an opportunity for agencies to provide bundled services, which studies have shown, lead to greater success in achieving financial stability.By organizing efforts around the two root causes, UWYC believes that organic community collaboration will form between the agencies in each space. Though UWYC cannot touch every aspect of poverty, the hope is that by facilitating collaboration, UWYC can directly bring agencies together. Through their leadership in the areas of Financial Stability, UWYC will lead the charge in combating the cycle of poverty, providing an alternative to government assistance, addressing expected individualism or the stigma around getting help, and help heal a broken system. 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 launched our 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.As part of our comprehensive, community-focused effort, UWYC has put a priority on tracking the progress York County is making towards our Bold Goal. As a step in the process towards a sophisticated community-level tracking system, UWYC has identified key outcomes that we would like to achieve to signify our progress towards helping 3,000 York County Families. For financial literacy, our initial short-term outcomes are individuals increase knowledge of effective financial practices; and individuals achieve financial self-sufficiency. UWYCs underemployment outcomes are individuals learn job hunting and/or soft skills training to gain employment at a livable wage; and families are supported along the path to financial stability through programs for dependents. We know, of course, that individuals will likely not be able to achieve financial stability in one year. By focusing on reasonable and attainable outcomes throughout the 10-year period, we can be sure to lead our agencies and clients through the long process towards financial stability. In order to track the progress that we are making on our outcomes, UWYC has identified indicators that Financial Stability Partners will be reporting on during the 2020-2021 allocation year. By making sure that partner agencies are providing key programs and services for families throughout the year, UWYC will receive quarterly reports on the indicators that each partner agency is addressing. |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4a | 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 2019-20, 93 families received a total of $22,925 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 700 hours to provide magical memories for over 1,100 children in our community. Connecting the Dots: Connecting the Dots is a free half-day empowerment conference that connects attendees with opportunities to get connected to resources in seven key areas: Career Development, Educational Programs, Financial Literacy, Affordable Childcare, Public Transportation, Affordable Housing, and Mental Healthcare. Guided by volunteers with human services experience, participants complete an evaluation matrix during check-in to identify their areas of priority and plan for the day. These volunteers, referred to as Navigators, will be available throughout the conference to help guide participants through the events and encourage participation in relevant events. Participants will be able to hear dynamic speakers, attend an empowerment workshop, visit a resource fair with vendors representing employers and services from throughout the county, and attend a targeted breakout session in order to get important and key information in a smaller-group setting. Though COVID-19 interrupted our plans for Connecting the Dots 2020, we look forward to implementing this new model for Connecting the Dots 2021. 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 2019-2020, more than 2,160 calls were received, and more than 5,000 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 2019-20 more than 93,174 website visits were made, and 1,096 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 the following phases: Phase 36 and was awarded $108,489; Phase 37 and was awarded $ 79,138; and Phase COVID Cares was awarded $112,829. 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 and the Housing and Development Corporation of Rock Hill. 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. This year we did not have the annual drive due to COVID-19, however, we did promote a community drive where York County community members could donate food items directly to their food bank of their choice. In York County, agencies that were promoted to receive food items via our appeal 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 2,115 people received assistance filing their 2019 tax returns this year. More than $ 1.1 million in Earned Income Tax credits were reported and over $4,186,683 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 6,800 York County Citizens saved $376,329 on their prescriptions for the year ended June 30, 2019. To get your free card, you may visit our website at www.unitedwayofyc.org. |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4b | 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 quarterly 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. This year we added volunteers that were experienced in financial stability. We specifically engaged individuals with expertise in financial literacy and workforce development. 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 the UWYC financial stability indicators and4.The appropriateness of the service delivery strategies for the population receiving services. The following summarizes activities of United Way of York County at June 30, 2020:The volunteers were divided into four focus areas based on grant submissions. The groups were responsible for vetting our three financial stability indicators (Workforce Development, Financial Literacy and Supportive Services) and the fourth was Traditional grants. We did allow traditional organizations that represent basic needs and health services to participate in this years grants cycle. To be eligible for a Traditional grant and agency had to receive funding during the 2018-19 grant cycle. This will be the UWYC final year of accepting traditional grant applications. Community Investment Cabinet (CIC) consists of volunteers and United Way board members. The CIC evaluates the funding proposals in relationship to the board approved financial stability root cause indicators 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. This years allocation was conducted via Zoom virtual meeting technology. CIC members and UWYC staff joined sessions with agency leaders to evaluate their program and learn more about their grant request.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. Designations are allotted to individual agencies as part of our workplace campaign will be allocated as part of the overall award amount provided to the agency. |
| Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line 4c | COVID Family Fund: The United Way of York County found the impact of COVID-19 on families was far-reaching. Many were experiencing financial setbacks due to reduced wages, loss of jobs, or access to childcare are just some of the challenges families are facing.We know that even in stable times, a single, unexpected expense can send a family into a financial situation from which it is difficult to recover. COVID-19 changed the landscape for working families in York County. In March 2020, the York County unemployment rate was at 2.9% by May 2020, it had jumped to 12.5% and in June it was still at 9.6%. The industry groups with the largest number of unemployment claims include accommodation and food services, administrative support and waste management, health care and social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade- those who were already struggling to make ends meet. Our commitment to helping families on the path to financial stability has been more important than ever during this pandemic.The COVID-19 Family Fund helped those impacted avoid eviction or foreclosure; ensured that our citizens do not go without critical utility services; and assured families had access to supportive services for their loved ones. 100% of the contribution went to support non-profits directly serving our neighbors facing economic distress associated with COVID-19. The fund raised $24,960. |
