Six community care areas comprise Triangle United Way’s Community Care Fund: Nurturing OurVery Young Children, Investing In Our Youth, Strengthening Our Families, Enriching The Lives Of Our Seniors,Meeting Basic Needs, and Providing Access To Health Services.

In 2002, Triangle United Way charted a new path in the way it measures success by focusing on clearly defined desired results for each community care area that would directly improve the lives of people across ourcommunity. Volunteers, community leaders, member agencies and Triangle United Way professionals finalizedthis new strategic direction in 2001. Triangle United Way’s Community Care Fund is the vehicle for creatingimpact with measurable results. In 2002, the challenges were many, yet through Community Care Fund investments, Triangle United Way produced measurable results.

Triangle United Way’s Community Care AreasYour support of the Community Care Fund was invested into the following community care areas:

Investing In Our Youth29%

Enriching The LivesOf Our Seniors6%

Providing Access To Health Services11%

Meeting Basic Needs19%

StrengtheningOur Families24%

Nurturing Our VeryYoung Children11%

Total used to help meet the community’s needs through the Community Care Fund in 2002-2003 – $8,616,108

Enriching the Lives of Our Seniors $ 538,389Meeting Basic Needs $ 1,650,219Providing Access to Health Services $ 946,413

Nurturing Our Very Young Children $ 900,673Investing in Our Youth $ 2,591,852Strengthening Our Families $ 1,988,562

2002-2003 Community Care Fund Investments (July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003)

➢

Our Community Challenge:According to the North Carolina Office ofJuvenile Justice, most juvenile crime occurs

after school between 3 and 6 p.m. However, for everydollar spent on structured after-school programs, approximately $40 is saved in youth incarceration costs.

Desired Results: Make sure youth have increasedopportunities for success in school and increased educational enrichment and support services such as tutoring. Make sure Spanish-speaking youth haveaccessible bilingual services.

Measure For Success: Increased school performance rates.

Investing In Our Youth

A Result: In Durham, structured after-school educational enrichment programs served more than 860 lowincome, at risk youth through three United Way-funded programs. Participating youth achieved academicimprovements (up to 97 percent in one program) and enhanced social and job readiness skills.

Our Community Challenge:When you compare state rates for childcare versus the average tuition of North Carolina

public universities, four-star childcare centers cost threetimes as much as college tuition. However, nurturing ourvery young children can positively impact their lives. For every dollar spent on quality early childhood interventions, $7 is saved in remedial services and treatment. For every dollar spent on immunizations, $14 is saved in medical costs.

Desired Results: Make sure young children havehigh quality early childhood education and more supportfor behavioral, emotional and social problems. Make sureSpanish-speaking families have more bilingual services.

Measure For Success: More children in high-quality, affordable childcare facilities.

Nuturing Our VeryYoung Children

A Result: In collaboration with Wake Area Health Education Center (AHEC), Triangle United Way’s WakeCounty Children’s Mental Health Initiative helped create a yearlong training curriculum for 44 professionals whowork with young children on social, emotional and behavior issues. The curriculum will help these professionalsbetter identify young children’s mental health needs to provide appropriate intervention services.

Building Community in Durham, Orange and Wake Counties FOCUS is a quarterly newsletter of the Triangle United Way dedicatedto bringing issues impacting our community into Focus for you.

Volume 3, Issue 2

hanks to your support of the Triangle UnitedWay Community Care Fund, families across theTriangle were able to use an estimated

20,000 hours of respite care to help them bettercare for and nurture their families. That’s just oneway your support is making a difference in the livesof nearly 300,000 people across the region.

Kate and her family are a testament to how theCommunity Care Fund has helped families in need.Kate receives help from the everyday demands ofcaring for Liam, her 6-year-old son who has autism.Through The Arc of Orange County’s Respite CareProgram, Kate can take some time out for herself.

Liam’s family also received funding from The Arc of Orange County to help build a fence in theirbackyard to protect Liam, who regularly managed to escape from the safety of his home. So his familysought the lowest-price fence through Medicaid.Medicaid wouldn’t cover the full cost of the fence,but thanks to Triangle United Way-funded ProjectFAST, a program of The Arc of Orange County, paidthe amount not covered. Now Liam is free to play inhis backyard like other little boys his age.

“Last year families requested $51,888 in help fromproject FAST, said Mary Justice, executive directorof The Arc of Orange County. “We were able to

provide $23,916 to meet the needs of people like Kate and her family. With a largepopulation of children with disabilities in our community, the needs keep growing andresources like United Way’s Community Care Fund help us make the difference asother resources dwindle.”

The Community Care Fund is much more than just a funding channel. Community CareTeams made up of community experts, citizens, donors, agencies and Triangle UnitedWay staff members volunteer their time to assess the most critical needs under theissue area for their county––just one way your gift to Triangle United Way works todevelop solutions in your community. The Orange County Families Community CareTeam makes sure programs, like The Arc of Orange County, produce measurableresults.

“We ensure that the programs Triangle United Way funds meet the most criticalneeds within the family issues area,” said Shuly Cawood, Families Team volunteermember and associate director for career and financial programs with the Women’sCenter in Chapel Hill. “We examine these programs to make sure they are efficient andcollaborate with other programs so people are offered holistic answers to meet theirhuman service needs.”

When programs work together—like the Arc ofOrange County’s programs that helped Kate with thecost of respite care and a fence—they create moreimpact and better results for the people they serve.

Last month, The Herald-Sun and The Chapel HillNews sponsored the printing and distribution of the Community Care Report. Thanks to these newspapers’ efforts, the eight-page report on theTriangle United Way’s innovative approach to serving people through the Community Care Fundwas distributed to more than 70,000 households in Durham and Orange counties. A copy of theCommunity Care Report is available online, at www.unitedwaytriangle.org or you can call 463-5020 for a free copy of the report.

Did you know that an estimated one in three childrenis at risk of having a developmental disability?

“The agency helps by helpingme take care of myself so thatI can take care of my son,”Kate said. “The United Wayand The Arc of Orange Countystep in so that we can do ourjob —- to parent, and they didit in a very sensitive, parent-friendly, family-friendly way.”T
