| Form 990, Part III | Health goal: (1) Support behavioral health and health-related strategies that help keep kids in school and physically and emotionally available for learning; (2) Reduce racial health disparities in Dane County; (3) Increase resiliency and trauma supports for BIPOC residents. Behavioral health investments focused on social and emotional skills development and on children, youth and families impacted by trauma - an issue that became more pressing due to the social isolation resulting from the COVID lockdown. In 2021 our signature school-based behavioral health programs, CBITS and FACE-Kids, screened over 3,200 students for symptoms of traumatic stress and delivered remote services that helped over 400 students connect with services for a variety of behavioral health issues that most reported improved their health outcomes. Updated strategies were developed to address the racial and socioeconomic health disparities that have led to poorer health outcomes for our County's BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) population. Significant time and resources were focused on collaborating with Dane County Health Council partners to develop a Care Coordination system that brings health and community resources together to address the Social Determinants of Health impacting birth outcomes for African American pregnant moms. United Way of Dane County's HealthConnect premium assistance program managed payments that enable over 653 low-income (with household income of 100-138% of FPL) to be insured by paying their 2021 premiums for plans purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. 18% of participants had no previous health coverage, 95% of HealthConnect participants retained health insurance in 2021. 30% of HealthConnect enrollees identified as BIPOC. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1) | Education: Born Learning goal: "Children are cared for and have fun as they become prepared for school." We have three major Born Learning strategies that are helping us achieve this goal that 4-year old's are at age-expected development and ready to begin school: (1) home visiting, (2) Community-based parent education in small groups and (3) developmental screening. Through home visiting, we served 75 young children, and their families, in 2021. Home Visiting is in-home parent education and support to low-income parents of young children facing multiple risk factors to help them nurture their children. Our home visiting programs include the Parent-Child Home Program, Welcome Baby, and Kinder Ready. In 2021, on average 75% of the children enrolled were reaching developmental milestones on track. Our lead partners on these three Born Learning initiatives included Access Community Health Centers, RISE, Children's Hospital - Community Services Division and Community Coordinated Child Care. Academic Success goal: "Students succeed academically and graduate high school, prepared for higher education, career, and community." Our major initiatives in this area are tutoring and academic support programs at the elementary, middle, and high school levels to help increase the graduation rate in Dane County to 95% by 2024. Social-emotional learning skill-building prepares students to be confident and ready for the next step. To help all children succeed in school, the tutoring programs mobilized over 1,000 volunteers to tutor over 2,000 students at schools in Madison, Middleton/Cross Plains, Marshall, and Sun Prairie. Our elementary school tutoring program, Schools of Hope, recruited volunteers to tutor students in the Madison and Sun Prairie schools in reading. Urban League of Greater Madison is the lead agency partner on middle school literacy and math tutoring. Our high school tutoring program, Achievement Connections, recruited volunteers to tutor students in the Madison and Middleton schools in Algebra and Geometry. Dane County is at a 92.4% six-year graduation rate. In addition, we partner with neighborhood, community, and school-based programs to promote academic achievement, family engagement, and social-emotional skill-building success in and out of school, including 100 Black Men, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, By Youth For Youth, Centro Hispano, Goodman Community Center, Literacy Network, Lussier Community Education Center, JustDane, Mount Zion Baptist Church, FAST, Lussier Community Education Center, City of Middleton Youth Center Dear Diary, The Hmong Institute Inc., Vera Court Neighborhood Center, Operation Fresh Start, Briarpatch Youth Services, Inc, Simpson Street Free Press, and the Urban League of Greater Madison. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 2) | Income Housing Goal: "There is a decrease in family homelessness." Our goals here are 1) # of who maintain housing/avoid evictions, 2) # who move into stable housing 3) # who increased their income, and 4) # who receive quality case management. Results for 2021 were - 1,641 families maintained their housing and avoided evictions. 329 families moved into stable housing. 58 families increased their income and 370 families worked with Case Managers on their housing goals. Partners in this work are: Middleton Outreach Ministry, Stoughton Area Resource Team, The Road Home, Salvation Army, YWCA of Madison, Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin, Habitat for Humanity, Porchlight, The Beacon (part of Catholic Charities) and Second Harvest of Southern Wisconsin. Building Economic Stability Goal : "Move more people on pathways out of poverty." We have two initiatives in this area" (1) the HIRE Initiative and (2) the Journey Home Initiative. The HIRE initiative is designed to place people experiencing poverty into family-sustaining wage jobs by helping them complete a high school diploma (if needed), and/or improving their employment and life skills, and secure new or improved employment. In 2021, 503 people were hired with 348 getting a job earning $15 an hour or more. The HIRE partners prepared 1,046 individuals achieved a knowledge goal towards earning a diploma. 171 completed the preparation to receive their high school diploma or equivalent with 42 actually earning their High School Diploma/GED/505 or 509 diploma. Our Education Training partners are: Literacy Network and Vera Court. The HIRE Employment training partners taught employability skills, employment training and placement to 1,046 participants in 2021. These Employment Training partners are: Centro Hispano, JustDane, Urban League of Greater Madison, Vera Court and the YWCA. The Journey Home initiative links ex-offenders who are returning to the community to four research-based strategies: Residency, Employment, Support, Education, and Treatment (RESET) so they can successfully reintegrate back into the community. Journey Home provided services for 870 individuals including 114 individuals who received intensive one-to one service. In 2021, Journey Home had four (3.5% of all participants) of the participants returned to prison for any reason. Since the Journey Home program was launched to serve all returning prisoners to Dane County, the return-to prison rate for Dane County has decreased from 66% (in 2006) to 39% (in 2019). Our lead partner on Journey Home is JustDane. (Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) established within the United Way of Dane County Foundation as a sustainable loan fund to increase affordable housing stock in Dane County. In 2021, volunteers approved loans for two projects with Northpointe Development in partnership with Lutheran Social Services: Uno on Mineral Point Road, Madison ($50,000) and Klassik ($175,000) in Verona for a total of 26 affordable units at 30% AMI to be added to local housing inventory. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 3) | Corporate & Community Engagement: United Way understands the importance of engagement across the community. From lifting-up the voices of families with lived experience and coordinating in-person and virtual volunteer activities for the community and corporate partners, to our trust-building work of the Law Enforcement and Leaders of Color Collaboration, our goal is to position United Way as the go to for volunteer engagement needs and mobilize the caring power of Dane County to create lasting partnerships for multiple generations. As we continued to navigate COVID- 19 and its variants in 2021, we mobilized 2,237 volunteers through VolunteerYourTime.org to get connected with a volunteer opportunity in Dane County that matched their interest, skills and time availability. Through year-round volunteer community and corporate engagements, we inspired 742 volunteers to engage in volunteer opportunities - totaling over 810 volunteer hours, creating 15,650 Packs for Impact (kits offering well-being products for individuals and families, ex., Be Well Packs, Healthy Snack Packs, Menstrual Hygiene Packs, Personal Care Packs, Paper Product Packs and Diapers and Wipes Packs), resulting in $60,000 of economic impact in Dane County. In our leadership development role, United Way's Boardwalk Academy is a 9-week personal and professional development series created to support the community leadership desires of adults who have successfully navigated poverty-related, lived experiences - as aligned with United Way's Agenda for Change (Education, Income and Health). This series is designed to develop and strengthen the professional and interpersonal skills for members of our community to serve as active and informed leaders of board of directors, or in other volunteer leadership positions throughout our community. In 2021, in response to the state mandated social distancing guidelines, the Spring and Fall cohorts were offered virtually and six graduates per cohort completed the series - a total of 12 graduates completed the course in 2021. In 2021, United Way of Dane County 211 provided 47,126 referrals for service to people in our seven-county area of responsibility. Our 211 Community Information and Referrals Specialists spent over 217,000 minutes talking with persons in need, guiding them toward solutions and better outcomes. Not surprisingly during the pandemic, the highest number of calls involved issues related to healthcare. The top five issues addressed in 2021 were Healthcare, Housing, Food, Behavioral Health, and Family Support. Additionally, over 4,000 people accessed 211 resources through web page visits, and staff responded to 512 texts and emails requesting assistance. Additionally, in 2021, 211 began working with the Dane County Health Council and the Connect RX program. Connect RX seeks to improve the health and mortality issues associated with black mothers and babies in the greater Dane County area. 211's role is to assist clients who have been evaluated by providers on the Social Determinants of Health in finding the corresponding resources identified as needs. 211 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to the needs of our communities. Anonymous and non-judgmental assistance is the hallmark of 211, which has helped hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors in times of need. |
| Form 990, Part III (Cont. 4) | The 2Gen portfolio is the newest to United Way's community impact work. We work across all three Agenda for Change areas (education, income, and health) to provide families in Dane County with children under five who are experiencing poverty services and supports that are aimed at helping them experience well-being. Our work's anchoring strategies are: 1)Parents are engaged, informed, and supported in how to be their child's first teacher to help their children be developmentally ready for school; 2) Holistic family supports are focused on 13 specific geographic areas; 3) Children are screened for developmental delays and families are provided appropriate supports for children who show potential delays; 4) A community of practice is created to support practitioners, case managers, and resource centers for those serving families with children under age five; 5) Healthcare professionals are knowledgeable of community supports and can easily link parents to such supports. One of the primary ways we provide geographically centered supports is through our work in the Early Childhood Zones (ECZ). This collaboration of local foundations, nine non-profit organizations, the City of Madison, and Dane County has enabled us to reach families in the northside (NECZ) and in Sun Prairie and Leopold. The primary work of these zones is to provide families with home visiting services that help equip parents to be their child's first teacher through literacy and play. The zone also offers wrap around services for families in need of housing case management, rental assistance, job and employment support, and mental health support. In 2021 the NECZ served 105 families. Seventy eight percent of families engaged in home visiting had very good or excellent caregiver-child interactions; 71% of families engaged in housing supports moved to safe, adequate housing; 64% of families engaged in employment an education services obtained or maintained one job; 63% of families engaged in mental health services showed improvement; 91% of families engaged in job training services completed the program. |
