2 | United Way of America 2007 Annual Report

October 2008

In communities nationwide, United Way is working to advance the common good by creating opportunities in education, income and health that will lead to a better life for all people. Our partnership with more than 12 million individuals and thousands of businesses and organizations drives the strategies that make this goal possible. Thank you for your continued support.

In 2007 United Way of America, together with 1,300 local United Ways, led many efforts to bring positive, sustainable change in communities. We believe the most effective way to make a difference in the lives of others is to act collectively, across sectors and borders.

In 2007, United Way made progress in several key areas. We:

Established the United Way Financial Stability Partnership™, expanding Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach and free tax preparation in 33 communities nationally, serving more than 225,000 low-to-moderate-income taxpayers and returning $269 million in total tax returns to communities

Expanded the Born Learning awareness and engagement campaign to 700 markets and 6 million parents

Celebrated the 10th anniversary of 2-1-1 (the easy-to-remember number that connects people needing or giving help) by growing service to 72 percent of the U.S. population

Increased revenue to more than $4 billion.

This annual report includes details about these and other accomplishments, as well as the audited financial statements that ensure accountability of our operations. Thank you for your interest in and continued commitment to our efforts.

Sincerely,

Brian Gallagher President & Chief Executive Officer

United Way of America 2007 Annual Report | 3

United Way is a national network of nearly 1,300 local organizations working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

United Way of America is the national organization dedicated to leading the United Way movement. Local United Ways create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying causes of the most significant local issues. Common focus areas include helping children and youth achieve their potential, promoting financial stability and independence, and improving people’s health. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. So we bring together people from all across the community–government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, the labor movement, ordinary citizens–to tackle the issues. Because we all win when a child succeeds in school, when a family becomes financially stable, when people have good health.

missionto improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities.

visionwe build a stronger america by mobilizing our communities to improve people’s lives.


In 2007, the United Way Financial Stability Partnership was created to strengthen communities by tackling the underlying causes of the financial hardship facing today’s families. United Way brings together cross-sector partners to offer tools and build skills that will empower lower-income individuals and families to achieve financial independence by maximizing their income, building savings and gaining assets.

United Way announced three goals for the Partnership:

Increase by 50 percent in five years the number of eligible families (in 400 areas nationwide) who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, a federal tax credit available to low-income workers.

Reduce by 25 percent in five years the number of households without bank accounts or with such a low credit score that they have trouble getting credit.

Give all United Ways within two years the technology to enroll eligible families in benefit programs such as the Children’s Health Insurance Program, food stamps, and Medicaid.

2007 results included:

More than 225,000 low-to-moderate-income taxpayers were served by expanded Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach and free tax preparation services in 33 communities nationally, returning $269 million in total tax returns to communities.

Bank of America Charitable Foundation donated $500,000 to help launch the Financial Stability Partnership.

A cohort of local United Ways began developing and disseminating learning around workforce development.

With more than $200,000 in financial and in-kind support from IBM, United Way identified a benefits calculator product that aligns with the United Way Financial Stability Partnership.

promoting financial stability

and independencePeople throughout our country are facing increasingly complex

and difficult economic and financial challenges. Wages have not

kept pace with the rising cost of housing, healthcare, and education

in many areas, and skill levels have not stayed in alignment with

changing industry needs. As a result, more than 30 million people

have an income below the federal poverty level, in spite of the

fact that many are employed, some with two or three jobs.

United WayFinancial Stability Partnership


United Way Success By 6™, the nation’s largest network of early childhood education coalitions, is galvanizing business, government and nonprofit leaders around three early learning strategies:

Equip parents, grandparents, and family/friend/neighbor caregivers to encourage early learning.

Increase the quality of care.

Advocate for early learning public policy.


4,000 business leaders were engaged as early childhood champions.

500,000 children received books to build language and literary skills.

6 million parents in 700 markets saw or heard Born Learning public service advertisements, and more than half indicated they would be doing more to incorporate early learning into everyday activities as a result of the engagement campaign.

helping children and youth achieve their potential

Education is the cornerstone of individual and community

success. It’s essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable

wage and health benefits. It’s fundamental to a community’s

economic prosperity: a well-educated workforce attracts

world-class jobs. And it begins long before school starts.

By year end, 2-1-1 was available to 72 percent of the United States population in 43 states.

Nearly 10 million inquiries were answered by 2-1-1 professionals across the country.

The federal Calling for 2-1-1 Legislation experienced strong bipartisan support and more than 3,300 endorsements from organizations across the U.S.

2-1-1’s essential role in disaster response was demonstrated during and after the Southern California wildfires and the floods in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

With financial and technical assistance from IBM, 2-1-1 centers began assessing technology and developing a roadmap for an integrated, national 2-1-1 system, accessed via web and telephone.

making connections to get

and give helpA partnership between United Way of America and the Alliance

of Information and Referral Systems, 2-1-1 is an easy-to-

remember telephone number that connects those needing or

offering help with the full complement of services available

in the community. While the phone number remains the same

community to community, the services are reflective of the

needs and strengths of a given locality. 2-1-1 also provides

critical data to support United Way’s impact agendas.



United Way of America staff went on-site to respond to the Virginia Tech tragedy in spring 2007, rebuilding and enhancing the local United Way’s website to provide an online giving option and setting up long-term recovery efforts with a focus on communitywide mental health programming.

The Major Relief Agency Coalition, co-convened by United Way of America and the American Red Cross, successfully coordinated response efforts of multiple nonprofits during and after the Southern California wildfires.

The final funding phase of the United Way 2005 Hurricane Response and Recovery Fund (created in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita) was implemented. Phase III grants were directed toward the major long-term recovery needs of the Gulf Coast. Housing, child care and mental health initiatives were the focus, with additional funds used to support a national initiative called Promoting Partnership Grants. These grants were used to encourage and reinforce national agencies working together to solve the very complex issues that continue to hinder progress in the Gulf.

The Promoting Partnership Grant Fund, based on the ongoing needs identified in the Voices from the Gulf Coast report published in 2006, was created to provide more than $1.5 million in funding for 12 partnerships among Leadership 18 affiliates in the Gulf Coast region. Leadership 18 is a coalition of the country’s largest and most well-respected human development nonprofit organizations.

in the disaster arena as the leader in long-term recovery.

Long after the first responders have left, United Way remains,

working to rebuild lives and communities day in and day out.

UNITED WAy ALTERNATIvE SPRINg BREAk

The United Way Alternative Spring Break program, which was created after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to enable young people to assist in long-term recovery, grew from one week to four weeks of service in southwest Louisiana.


379 young volunteers served 27,059 hours of service and paid back $496,000 of Louisiana’s cost share to FEMA.

After Alternative Spring Break, 84 percent of participants said they were more likely to volunteer in the future, and 73 percent said their experience gave them new ideas for getting involved and making a difference in their communities.

Young adults made their voices heard in the Gulf Coast by advocating for continued recovery efforts in key media including The Chicago Tribune and The Los Angeles Times.

FedEx Corp. and GameStop/EB Games sponsored the 2007 program; FedEx Corp. increased its support of Alternative Spring Break for 2008 and was joined by Deloitte Services LP.

2007 highlights:

National Corporate Leaders and their employees and retirees invested more than $1 billion in communities through United Way, representing one quarter of the system’s revenue. For the eighth consecutive year, United Way’s largest supporter was UPS, whose foundation, employees and retirees contributed $60.8 million to improve lives and strengthen communities.

Xcel Energy received the Spirit of America award, United Way’s highest corporate honor.

Six corporations received Summit Awards: Daimler Chrysler, General Mills, Kellogg, Microsoft, Nationwide and Target.

GE/NBC Universal’s “Today Show” anchor Ann Curry bungee-jumped to raise funds for United Way. In addition to the publicity, NBCU sponsored an online auction from its hit TV shows including “Heroes” and “The Office,” with a portion of the proceeds benefiting United Way.

During the United Way campaign in September, Publix featured United Way on all plastic and paper grocery bags in every Publix store – more than 900 locations.

Since 1973, United Way and the National Football League and its

teams have worked together to strengthen America’s communities.

As the most visible and longest running charitable collaboration of

its kind, this partnership is a shining example of the tangible good

that can be leveraged when two household icons are harnessed into

a powerful vehicle for real change in communities. In 2007, the NFL

and United Way began leveraging resources and relationships to

raise awareness about the importance of youth health and fitness

and to create opportunities for kids to lead healthier lifestyles.

2007 highlights:

The NFL & United Way public service advertising campaign reached 85 percent of American households with ads on CBS, FOX, NBC and ESPN. The campaign represents more than $20 million annually in national airtime furnished by the NFL.

In 22 cities the NFL & United Way Hometown Huddle, a collection of community service events implemented with NFL teams and United Ways on a single day, was focused on youth fitness in projects ranging from teaching the basic concepts of fitness and nutrition to building youth fitness zones and playgrounds.

messages to the American public by marshalling volunteer talent

from the advertising and communications industries, media

time and space, and the resources of the business and nonprofit

sectors. Since 2005 the Ad Council’s distribution of United Way’s

Born Learning public service advertising has garnered more

than $123 million in donated media while exposing millions of

parents and caregivers to simple tips about how to incorporate

learning into their everyday interactions with their children.

In 2007, United Way of America partnered with United Way International in an intense visioning and business planning process to create a truly global United Way network. This work was done in partnership with United Way leaders from Canada, Columbia, Hungary, Jamaica, Korea, South Africa, Venezuela, and the United States and was informed by a host of other valued stakeholders from around the world. Their vision was to create a network that leverages learning, resources and reputation that will, in turn, help to expand and deepen the capacity of local and national United Ways around the globe.

In June, the Boards authorized the establishment of a Global Transition Board to implement the vision for a global United Way network and system. The Transition Board launched in December and was charged with executing a vigorous stakeholder engagement strategy; designing governance elements for the future global organization and system; and all due diligence related to incorporating the new global organization. The Transition Board was convened by Chair Steve Richardson, Senior Vice President, Organization Capabilities and Chief Talent Officer, American Express Company, and included leaders from Australia, Canada, China, France, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Uganda, the United States, and Venezuela.

•putting principle into practice: diversity and inclusion

United Way of America crafted a toolkit that provides a framework for analyzing existing diversity and inclusion strategies and effective practices both within and outside of the United Way system. In addition, the 2006/2007 Progress Report for Diversity and Inclusion captured and summarized the progress United Way of America has made toward achieving diversity and inclusion. This document was widely distributed and was submitted as public record at a Congressional hearing regarding whether or not charities are doing enough to serve poor and diverse populations.

The Inclusion Council for the United Way System was created in 2007 and worked to engage nine Business Resource Groups in a systematic and thorough effort to answer important questions related to the critical business and system issues around diversity and inclusion. Almost 400 United Way staff participated in the engagements.

United WayStrategic Alliances and Inclusion2006-2007 Diversity and Inclusion Progress Report

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary

for one movement to declare its commitment to values

that it holds to be fundamental to the success of its work

and for the betterment of its communities,

it is imperative that it openly and visibly embody these values.

One such value at the heart of the United Way movement is Inclusion.

Inclusion is the leveraging of diversity by bringing together

unique individual backgrounds, experiences and thinking

to collectively and more effectively

address the issues facing our communities.


The United Way Tocqueville Society was formed in 1984 to deepen individual

understanding of, commitment to, and support of United Way’s mission and

vision. Comprising individuals who contribute at least $10,000 to a member United

Way, the Tocqueville Society recognizes local philanthropic leaders and volunteer

champions around the world who have devoted time, talent, and funds to create

long-lasting changes by tackling our communities’ most serious issues.

In 2007 the Tocqueville Society recognized the Gates Family—Bill Gates Sr., his late wife

Mary Gates, his wife Mimi Gardner Gates, and his children, Bill Gates Jr., Kristi Blake and

Libby Armintrout—for their leadership and exemplary service to their local community,

the nation and the world. The Gates Family received the United Way Tocqueville Society

Award®, United Way’s highest honor for volunteers. Previous winners include former

Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, John Glenn, Bob Hope and Henry Ford II.

work. More than 140 communities have Women’s Leadership Councils, with more than

30,000 members reflecting the diversity and inclusiveness of their communities.

The 2007 United Way Summit on Women in Philanthropy was held April 12-14 at the Westin

Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. Over two hundred leaders in women’s philanthropy joined

together to be educated on promising practices; engaged with other like-minded women

who share a passion for improving communities; and were empowered to achieve more

through the combined effort of many. The Summit’s speakers included Mavis Leno, Dr. Clair

Gaudiani, Dr. Johnnetta Cole, Ann Compton, Patricia Diaz Dennis and Brian Gallagher.

Impact of SFAS No. 158In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). Statement 158 requires organizations, including UWA, to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans on its consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to unrestricted net assets. The adoption of the provisions of Statement 158 resulted in an approximate $12,700,000 decrease in UWA’s consolidated net assets.

Subsequent Event: Sale of United eWayUnited eWay is a wholly owned subsidiary of UWA that combines advanced online giving with integrated pledge processing and fund distribution services for corporate philanthropic programs.
