IMPROVE LIVES. STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY. LIVE UNITED.

2014AnnuAl RepoRt

Dear Friend,

the people of central ohio have a long history of coming together to create change. It’s one of the many remarkable qualities that makes our community such a great place to live. over the past year, we have seen our community unite to face important issues and create new opportunities many times, and united Way has always been an engaged partner in these efforts.

For example, Columbus City Council president Andrew Ginther brought together a diverse group of local leaders to form the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality task Force to understand and address the reasons underlying our high infant mortality rate. over the course of several public meetings, the task force learned about and discussed the key issues and outlined eight specific categories of intervention with concrete goals that are currently being acted upon. united Way was well-represented on the task force by Janet Jackson as well as board members Judge laurel Beatty, Dr. Dan Good and Michelle Heritage.

In July, the Department of Housing and urban Development recognized another major community effort when it awarded a $30 million grant to help revitalize the near east Side. this is the largest federal grant ever awarded for a Columbus neighborhood and was only made possible because of the tremendous commitments and investments made by a long list of partners including the City of Columbus, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, the ohio State university and your united Way. this grant, and the estimated $225 million in investment it will help leverage, will transform a neighborhood that has been a priority for our work for many years.

these concrete examples of people coming together to strengthen our community should inspire us all. And every member of our united Way family should be proud of the role they play in making such successful efforts happen. As you read through this annual report, you will see many other ways we are able to achieve impressive results and improve lives with your support. thank you for all you do for central ohio through united Way.

Sincerely,

Craig Marshall Chair, Board of trustees united Way of Central ohio

In november 2013, the united Way of Central ohio Board of trustees adopted a strategic plan that will guide our organization through 2020. the plan was developed with an unprecedented level of community involvement. A diverse group of more than 2,100 donors, volunteers and other community leaders shared their thoughts and opinions through an online survey.

the input reinforced that we are on the right track in our efforts to help people build pathways out of poverty by focusing on these key areas:

EDUCaTION – a quality education that leads to a productive career

INCOME – enough income to support a family through retirement

HEaLTH – good health and well-being for a lifetime

HOME – a safe and decent place to live

people also said we must go further. our community told us that united Way must work closely with other organizations to develop and implement an effective community-wide plan that builds pathways out of poverty. In the time since the strategic plan was adopted we have been doing just that. united Way has joined with other leading organizations from the business, education, government and nonprofit sectors to develop new and innovative ways to work together, guided by the principles of collective impact, to achieve progress that no one organization can achieve alone. together we are making change happen and transforming our community into one where everyone has the opportunities they need to succeed.

aHMaD, South SideWhen 3-year-old Ahmad first started attending preschool, he only spoke a couple words, had difficulty following simple directions, and often required one-on-one attention from Mr. Shawn, his teacher. A fun-loving little boy with big brown eyes, Ahmad received a learning Checkup from Columbus Kids that assessed his fine and gross motor skills, and socio-emotional behavior. Columbus Kids provided Ahmad and his parents with activities and resources to help him build those skills.

“It’s so important to identify developmental needs early to help build the skills children need for kindergarten,” says Mr. Shawn, who has been amazed at Ahmad’s progress. “He’s speaking five and six word sentences now. His fine motor skills have improved, and he’s become much more independent.”

TERRY, northeast ColumbusAs a single dad working part-time, terry struggled to provide for his daughter with autism and his son with health issues. But he wasn’t one to ever ask for help. When he received notice that his rental home was being sold and he would have to move, though, he was desperate. terry couldn’t afford the security deposit for a new home, and he knew that moving his children to a homeless shelter and away from their school with specialized services would be disastrous.

When terry found assistance through Stable Families, his program specialist worked with him to find a home in a quiet, safe neighborhood near the children’s current school. She also helped him set long-term goals and provided the support he needed to find a full-time job. no longer in crisis, terry is extremely grateful Stable Families was there when his family needed help.

aMY, Weinland parkMultiple health issues—including fibromyalgia, low iron and signs of preeclampsia—combined with a challenging housing situation all contributed to a stressful, high-risk pregnancy for Amy. She and her family had recently moved from texas and had no family nearby who could provide support. When she learned about the Moms2B program, Amy knew it could be just what she needed to help her through her difficult pregnancy.

the Moms2B program, which began in Weinland park in 2010, is designed to educate, support and nurture women like Amy through pregnancy and through their babies’ first year of life. Its mission is to reduce high infant mortality rates by providing weekly group meetings offering nutrition education, social support and resources to address food insecurity and unstable housing situations. For Amy, the program did all that and much more. “It meant so much to me that Moms2B was there for me whenever I had an issue or needed someone,” Amy says. “Having their support and the support of all the women in the program gave me confidence and hope I didn’t have before. And now I have a healthy, happy baby girl.”

RONaLD, east SideCaring for his 79-year-old dad, who he says was there for him “through thick and thin,” is Ronald’s greatest joy in life these days. And having served 12 years in federal prison for robbery, Ronald has been through more thick and thin than most of us. He wasn’t an ideal son, husband or dad, and you probably wouldn’t have wanted him as your neighbor when he wasn’t behind bars. like his dad, Alvis House was there for Ronald when he was released from prison. the staff supported him, encouraged him and helped him find a job. Grateful for a chance to work and earn minimum wage, he got up every day at 5 a.m. and rode the bus 2.5 hours (each way). And he never missed a day. He wasn’t about to let the folks at Alvis House or himself down. Ronald’s dedication and hard work paid off. He now works much closer to home, has been promoted several times and earns more than twice the minimum wage. “If you’ve been in and out of the system, people give up on you,” says Ronald. “But it takes just one person to believe in you and encourage you - and that’s exactly what I got at Alvis House.”

It lays out stark facts about how families are undermined by stress, especially those living in poverty, and offers recommendations for our community focused on a holistic approach to addressing poverty and the stress that accompanies it. the report also offers information on local efforts that identify at-risk children and connect them to community resources. two such programs are Columbus Kids and Franklin County Kids which evaluate preschool children, determine if they have developmental delays that could prevent them from succeeding in kindergarten and connect them and their parents to services that can ensure the children are on the right track.

WOMEN’S LEaDERSHIP COUNCIL CELEbRaTES fIVE YEaRS on January 9, 2014, Women’s leadership Council celebrated its fifth anniversary. this group of engaged central ohio women developed the e3 (elevate, empower and engage) initiative to help low- to moderate-income working women in central ohio become educated, empowered and elevated to a new level of financial stability for themselves and their families through continuing education. More than 100 women have participated in the e3 program. one of the hallmarks of this successful effort has been the one-on-one mentoring of participants by WlC members. Dozens of accomplished women leaders have shared their knowledge and expertise and formed strong bonds with e3 participants, which has greatly helped them on their journeys to financial stability and independence. to further assist e3 participants in their studies, the WlC launched a scholarship program in 2013 that covers full tuition, books, fees and living expenses for four semesters.

UNITED WaY PaRTNERS WITH COLUMbUS METROPOLITaN CLUb fOR POVERTY SIMULaTION aND fORUMon June 4, 2014 united Way partnered with the Columbus Metropolitan Club to present a forum designed to go beyond statistics for a personal and interactive look at how people cope with poverty and the tough decisions they make every day. More than 200 community leaders gathered for this forum.

prior to the forum a smaller group of leaders received a more in-depth experience of what it is like to make ends meet while living in poverty during a two-hour poverty simulation. this simulation is one of many united Way is organizing to give people who may not come into contact with people in poverty a way to gain a visceral understanding of the challenges they face. It makes clear that not only do those in poverty face tremendous daily stresses, but that they must be very resourceful in order to provide for themselves and their families.

Nancy Nestor-Baker, Senior Assistant Vice President, Community Engagement at United Way, moderates a panel discussion on poverty with panelists Jennifer Combs, E3 program participant; Erica Drewry, Vice President, Strategic Planning, National Church Residences; Philip Cunningham, Program Manager, Columbus Urban League and Linda Danter, Executive Director, New Directions Career Center.

RESTORaTIVE JUSTICE CIRCLES INVOLVE NEIGHbORS IN HELPING YOUNG OffENDERSIn the summer of 2013, the Franklin County Juvenile Justice Center partnered with united Way to launch Restorative Justice Circles in three pilot neighborhoods – Weinland park, Franklinton and the South Side. Designed as a diversion program to keep first-time, non-violent, youth offenders out of the court system, the program recruits community volunteers to provide juveniles with the opportunity to repair the harm done to their victims and to make a positive contribution to their own community.

Restorative Justice Circles is partially founded on the work of united Way’s Juvenile Justice Center planning Initiative. the initiative has resulted in new policies and procedures in the way youth-serving systems approach juvenile behavioral issues and has achieved remarkable results. over the past nine years, the number of youth held at the detention center has been reduced by more than half from 3,114 in 2005 to 1,402 in 2013.

Volunteers interact with youth actors at a Restorative Justice Circles training session organized by United Way.
