Dear United Way supporter,

I am pleased to present the 2011-12 United Way of North Central Florida Annual Report. Behind the programs you’ll read about and the numbers you’ll note are the real-life stories that exist because of your dedication to our community. Tens of thousands of people — infants to seniors — have hope because of your support of United Way.

You’ll read testimonials of residents who turned to 2-1-1, United Way’s free call for help, as a last resort in a tough situation. And, a story of a single mother who depended on the programs funded by United Way to provide safe and affordable childcare so she could have a job and support her family. You’ll also read about how United Way needs your continued support to be able to invest in programs that create solutions in our community.

It is these stories that push us to work hard everyday to achieve our goals.

Our long-term perspective on the needs in our community identifies gaps in services, convenes experts and determines solutions that improve lives. Our focus on Education, Income and Health helps children succeed in school and families become financially stable and healthy. Success By 6 remains a strategic priority in reaching our education goals.

Thank you for the trust you place in United Way of North Central Florida to create lasting change by addressing big issues in our community. I think you will see, throughout the annual report, that we take that trust very seriously. We have recruited the people and organizations from across the community who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to create solutions.

I hope this report inspires you to become even more engaged in our work.

Please reach out to me anytime to share your thoughts and opinions by phone at (352) 333-0845 or by email at [email protected].

I look forward to hearing from you!

Warm regards,

Debbie MasonPresident & CEO

Annual Reports offer the opportunity to

reflect on the past year and share that story

with our donors, even while we are

knee-deep executing the present year’s work

plans. This year we are taking a different

approach with the annual report to maximize

the resources we invest in producing this

piece for our important stakeholders. The

first portion of the report tells you the

progress we made last year, as well as some

current information. The second portion of

the report presents the traditional overview

of financial resources raised and invested in

the areas of Education, Income and Health

for the past fiscal year.

For the fiscal year 2011-12 (ending June 30,

2012), United Way of North Central Florida

saw significant improvements in our

fundraising results from the prior year and in

our impact work in the community. While the

results in fundraising were nowhere near the

levels experienced in 2007-08, we can report

progress in regaining some previously lost

ground during the recession. Because the

financial resources were still not at the levels

desired for the Community Investment Fund,

our Board of Directors made the decision to

take $140,000 from reserves to augment the

Community Investment Fund and provide

additional donor communication and

development activities. That decision helped

stem the painful decline in resources that

many of our funded local Community Impact

Partner Agencies already were experiencing

from their own declining fundraising.

That decision, unfortunately, will affect

negatively in United Way’s net assets. Yet,

our Board of Directors believed it was the

right decision to make in our role as the

community’s largest private funder of human

services. It was our way of continuing to

provide the safety-net to our community for

funding of critical services for immediate

needs and strategic services to reach

longer-term goals.

The fiscal year 2011-12 was the first of the

current two-year cycle of payments to local

Community Impact Partner Agencies for their

execution of special programs in Education,

Income, Health and immediate needs.

Success By 6 remains our primary education

strategy.

In 2012-13 (current fiscal year), United Way of

North Central Florida is implementing a new

Community Investment model. This model

uses a three-year funding cycle for programs

to reach longer-term goals, and changes to a

one-year funding cycle for immediate needs.

The three-year funding cycle gives agencies

more time to successfully implement

programs and demonstrate progress in

reaching longer-term indicators. The shorter

timeline for immediate needs allows United

Way of North Central Florida more flexibility

in responding to immediate community

needs including food, shelter, etc.

Thanks to the generosity of a local donor,

United Way of North Central Florida will

implement an online funding process,

eliminating the need for agencies to produce

huge binders of materials as in the past.

True to our role in bringing resources to the

community and leading positive change,

we’ve taken the opportunity to share this

resource with other large funders in our

community, creating a “Common Grant”

process with the Community Foundation of

North Central Florida, the City of Gainesville

and Alachua County. This streamlined process

for all nonprofits applying for funding to any

of the partners saves both staff time and

resources of paper, printing, etc. United Way

of North Central Florida continues to lead

and convene the community to create better

systems, such as the Common Grant process

and the Alachua County Community Strategic

Plan, among others.

Thank you for your continued support of

United Way of North Central Florida. We

welcome your feedback and suggestions, so

please reach out to either of us to share

your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Lukert Debbie Mason

Chair, Board of Directors President & CEO

We are pleased to share with you our 2011-2012 Annual Report.

CommUnITy InvesTmenT proCessCommunity Impact Partner Agencies are invited to apply for United Way funding through the Community Investment Process. The Community Investment Process is led by a team of community volunteers that use results-driven data to determine how the funds will be invested. The community volunteer team bases their funding decisions on the agen-cies’ ability to improve on the indica-tors of at least one strategy under a particular goal.

For example, the Education goal is to increase the high school graduation rate in our six-county area to 90% by 2018.

One strategy under this goal is our Success By 6 initiative. The result is that all children will enter school ready to learn.

The indicator that determines if this goal is met is the percentage of children assessed who enter school ready to learn.

Community Impact Partner Agencies are responsible for reporting on the indicators they agreed to measure and track. This allows United Way of North Central Florida to track our commu-nity’s progress on achieving desired results to create collective impact.

“ We are committed to United Way and initiated the Empowerment Fund this year to help provide financial assistance to the working poor when they experience a crisis to help them move from poverty to self-sufficiency. Our dedication stems from our Christian faith in that we believe we all have a responsibility to care for the less fortunate with our time, talent and treasure.”


The Weekend Hunger Backpack Program sends food home on week-ends in backpacks so kids are given the chance to come to school on Monday fed and ready to learn.

In 2011, United Way of North Central Florida transitioned the operations of the Weekend Hunger Backpack Program to Catholic Charities, a Community Impact Partner Agency. United Way remains involved in the program by collecting food, organizing volunteers, collecting data on student participation and as a funder of the program.

The Weekend Hunger Backpack Program is offered FREE to schools and children served.

Sixty percent of teachers surveyed, indicated an improvement in school performance of those children receiv-ing backpacks on the weekend as part of the Weekend Hunger Backpack Program.

NEW in 2012, five more schools in Alachua County will receive backpacks filled with food for their children to take home on the weekends. United Way of North Central Florida created a standard operations procedure for the backpack program to improve the community’s ability to serve children.

The School-Based Dental Sealant Initiative helps to fill the gap in dental services.

The VITA Program puts money back in the pockets of hard-working residents. This United Way of North Central Florida program mobilized more than 120 trained volunteers to prepare free tax returns in 2012.

The VITA Program is sponsored by grants from the IRS and local financial partners including BBVA Compass and Wells Fargo Banks. This program remains a key strategy in the United Way of North Central Florida goal of supporting healthy, financially stable families.

Tooth decay is the number one chronic childhood disease in the U.S. and children lose more than 51 million school hours each year due to dental-related illness. Through United Way of North Central Florida’s partner-ship with the University of Florida College of Dentistry and Oral Health America, the School-Based Dental Sealant Initiative ensures that children receive dental sealants, fluoride varnish and referrals for dental care so tooth decay does not impede their ability to learn.

NEW in 2012, The School-Based Dental Sealant Initiative is being offered in nine schools in the 2012–13 school year and will aim to provide dental care and education to 900 children in Alachua County. University of Florida Dental Students will participate in the program as part of their required dental rotation. Santa Fe College School of Dental Hygiene will partner with the UF College of Dentistry and United Way of North Central Florida to implement this program throughout Alachua County.

readIngpaLs

ReadingPals is an early literacy initiative that began in the summer of 2012 made possible through the support of Carol and Barney Barnett, the United Way of North Central Florida and the Children’s Movement of Florida. Through this initiative,

ReadingPals volunteers commit to reading with a 2nd or 3rd grade student for an hour a week for the entire school year. The goal of the program is to increase 3rd grade reading proficiency.

Currently, the initiative is at six locations: Idylwild Elementary, Lake Forest Elementary, Terwilliger Elemen-tary, Caring and Sharing Learning Center, Boys & Girls Club Woodland Park and Boys & Girls Club Northwest

Campus. To date, 144 students have been matched up with at least one ReadingPals volunteer to get addition-al help with reading comprehension and confidence, with more volunteers signing up each week. Each volunteer reads at least one book a month with the student, and the student is able to take that new book home at the

end of the month. At the end of the school year, each student that is part of the ReadingPals initiative will have at least nine books to start a home library.

United Way of North Central Florida is currently recruiting Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) to 3rd grade ReadingPals volunteers to help with reading during these crucial early years of learning.

Volunteers are still needed and can enroll through Feb. 7, 2013. For more information, please visit www.unitedwayncfl.org/volunteer.

aT&T CheCk & ConneCT

Alachua County’s high school gradua-tion rate has risen significantly in recent years, from approximately 68% in 2007 to approximately 78% in 2011. However, graduation rates among students from families in poverty continue to be lower than average. This gap has the potential to grow as the state of Florida introduces

rigorous new graduation standards. Students from poverty face significant family and cultural barriers to learning that include such practical issues as a lack of adequate food, shelter, trans-portation and even clothing.

United Way of North Central Florida is taking action to increase the high school graduation rate in our area. Because of our solid record of proven results, United Way of North Central Florida has been named one of 47 recipients in 29 states nationwide that will share in nearly $10 million from AT&T to help make this happen.

The $300,000 contribution from AT&T will deepen the partnership United Way of North Central Florida has with the Alachua County Public Schools to fund the Check & Connect Program. This evidence-based program places drop-out prevention specialists in the three high schools with the greatest population of youth at risk of drop-ping out: Gainesville, Eastside and Hawthorne. Each of the AT&T Aspire Check and Connect Specialists connect as mentors and counselors with up to 40 students and their families to provide social service referral and family strengthening assistance.

rsvp granTAwarded in 2012 by the Federal Corporation for National and Commu-nity Service, United Way of North Central Florida received a three-year grant to implement a volunteer program for seniors age 55 and older. The volunteers are charged with improving educational outcomes in our community by serving in the following programs: ReadingPals for children attending low-performing VPK programs, ReadingPals for children in 2nd and 3rd grade, and mentors and/or tutors for 9th grade students participating in the Check & Connect Drop-Out Prevention Program.

Some of United Way of North Central Florida’s 28 Community Impact Partners receive a state- or federal-ly-funded match solely as a result of their gift from United Way of North Central Florida. For example, the Early Learning Coalition, a United Way of North Central Florida Community Impact Partner, receives a 16:1 federal match to any funding it receives from United Way. The match varies for each Community Impact Partner Agency and is based on the individual state or federal program.

The result of United Way of North Central Florida’s investment means several million dollars drawn down into our community; increasing access to necessary services.

The FamilyWize® Prescription Drug Program creates affordable access to prescription drugs to help keep families healthy. United Way of North Central Florida offers area residents the FREE FamilyWize® card, a prescrip-tion drug discount card that can save users an average of 30 percent on many prescription drugs.

The goal of the FamilyWize® community partnership is to reduce the cost of medicine for children, families and

SGifts of $10,000 and above

French aristocrat Alexis Charles-Henri Clerel De Tocqueville was 26 years old when he came to America in 1831. As a keen observer of American society, he recognized, applauded and immortalized the voluntary spirit that lives in America’s heart. His observations formed the basis for Democracy in America, a book describing this new country and its people.

United Way’s Tocqueville Society was created to honor the goodwill and community leadership that inspired De Tocqueville’s writings more than 175 years ago. The Tocqueville Society honors leaders locally and nationally who exemplify that spirit through their high level of personal giving to United Way.

Our local society is a growing community of individuals and families who make an outstanding difference through influential leadership, outstanding volun-teerism and selfless giving. Today, the Tocqueville Society is one of the world’s most prestigious institutions for individuals who are passionate about improv-ing peoples’ lives and strengthening communities.

United Way donors who give $10,000 or more annually are members of the Tocqueville Society and are recognized both locally and nationally.

United Way of North Central Florida is pleased to present our local Tocqueville Donors and recognize this exemplary level of commitment with deep gratitude and sincere appreciation:

Anonymous Nick and Kelly Banks Dharma Endowment Foundation Mark and Kim Fisher Mike and Sonia Gallagher Sam and Deborah Goforth Laura and Tim Goldfarb David Guzick and Donna Giles Linda and Ken McGurn Janet and John Verne McKenzie Paul McKnight Nancy A. and William J. Robinson

“ Gainesville is such a caring place; it has many organizations that offer support for its people; and sometimes it is hard to know how best to support our community organizations. United Way of North Central Florida is the only organi-zation that can see the big picture of needs in the community and ensures all of these pillars of the community are reinforced where needed, and bound together into a foundation to build upon. Contributing through United Way is an easy and meaningful way to support our community in a very productive and effective manner. We all want to help—United Way of North Central Florida allows us to do that for the most impact where it is most needed.”

Ms. WilliaMsMs. Williams, a single mother of three children works full time and goes to school. She reached out to the Boys & Girls Club of Alachua County, a United Way Community Impact Partner, to help care for her three children after school. Ms. Williams’ children have been active members of the NW Boys & Girls Club for the past four years and she is a regular volunteer.

“ Volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club is the least I can do. You just do not have any idea what the Boys & Girls Club means to my family. They have been there for us during my hard times. God sent them to us as a blessing that I never take for granted.”

JenniferJennifer reached out to 2-1-1 after her grandmother passed away. While her grandmother was sick, Jennifer quit her job to care of her. Because of this sacrifice, Jennifer’s family needed help paying rent and monthly bills.

“ The person on the other end of the phone made me feel like everything was going to be OK. I told my husband that I think United Way has angels answering their phones because my mood was instantly changed and I knew we would receive the help we needed. You never know when you are going to need help and 2-1-1 will be there for you.”

danielleDanielle called 2-1-1 to secure child care for her two-year- old daughter through the Early Learning Coalition. The ELC saved Danielle hundreds of dollars per month on reduced-cost child care for her daughter.

“ If 2-1-1 was not available to help me, my child would not be able to go to a reduced-cost childcare facility and I would not be able to have a job or further my education.”

anthony Clarizio senior direCtor elderCare of alaChUa CoUntyAnthony’s team operates the Meals on Wheels program, supported by United Way of North Central Florida. This program provides meal sites and home-delivered meals to seniors. Each meal meets one-third of the required daily allowance for the senior age group.

“ United Way of North Central Florida is so important to seniors because the money we receive helps us bring in additional dollars to the community through a 10:1 match so we can feed more chronically-hungry seniors.”
