2018 Annual Report Serving Kitsap County Since 1937

Executive Directors Message

As I am out and about in the community, I am frequently asked, “Why should I give my money to United Way instead of directly to the local agencies?” My answer is, although it is important to support local agencies, it is also vitally important to address the root causes of social problems, the most significant being intergen-erational poverty. Nothing will ever change until we do this. For over 70 years, United Way of Kitsap County worked on social issues in partnership with local agencies, but in 2010 our board of

directors decided to change our emphasis to community impact, which means we now direct our time and resources to address the root causes of intergenerational poverty, the primary cause of our social ills. And because education, health, and financial stability are the corner-stones of what brings people out of poverty, that’s what United Way is investing in, to create real solutions to real problems.

One of the programs United Way is part of is Kitsap Strong, now in its 6th year and growing rapidly to help Kitsap County understand and counter the effects of childhood trauma and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences).

With the understanding that a good education is vital to ending poverty, we got involved with another program called Graduate Strong, a community project aimed at helping students develop the capabilities, connections, and the credentials they need to flourish, thus creating a path for every child to succeed from cradle to career. Post-secondary education is becoming extremely important as technology advances. Not just college but trades and other secondary education opportunities are important. In the next few years over 70% of jobs will require some type of post-secondary education. This makes getting a high school diploma more important than ever. Parents have an ever increasing role to play to ensure the success of their children, but because of Graduate Strong, they will not have to do it alone.

United Way is also working with multiple agencies to find solutions to the homeless crisis. In 2017, 39% of the population of Kitsap County was one paycheck away from becoming homeless and that number keeps going up as housing costs continue to increase. From transitional housing to permanent supportive housing, we believe everybody deserves the security of a warm, dry place to lay their head at night.

So, even though United Way of Kitsap County has changed its focus, it is still working harder and smarter than ever for everyone in Kitsap County.

Message from our Board President

About 12 years ago a co-worker who was leaving our firm and relocating approached me and asked if I would be interested in taking over her board position at United Way of Kitsap County. At the time, I had been a donor through our workplace campaign for a couple of years so I was somewhat familiar with United Way, but I had no experience with boards or philanthropy, other than my small payroll deduction that amounted to about one cup of coffee a month. It sound-ed like a grown-up thing to do in my late 20’s, so I took the leap and put my name in the hat and United Way accepted me! My first meeting was the annual retreat, so I dove in head first not knowing what I had gotten myself into! I quickly found that I enjoyed surrounding myself with people with the will to give of their time and, of course, money, to our community. I found my place on the board and became secretary and participated in any committee I could, and I loved it. I was young and just getting started in my career, not making much money and had just bought my first home so I didn’t really have the money to give as other board members, so I gave as much time as I could to what felt like an amazing cause. I loved learning more about my community, our safety nets and meeting the players in the organizations that surround our community. Growing up in a working, middle class family, I had never worried about where my next meal would come from or if I would have a roof over my head. Learning about the organizations that United Way helped to support really opened my eyes to the needs in our community that I may not have had a chance to learn about. I have continued to be on the board ever since, just taking a year off between terms as required. I feel fortunate to have been able to be a part of our local United Way’s evolution from money-in-money-out to community impact. It has been wonderful to be part of new partnerships and tackling some big missions and making progress on projects in the community. Although the dollar amount I contribute every year has grown, it still isn’t the amount that I wish I could give so I still give of my time as much as possible by participating and chairing committees, being a Campaign Executive during the campaign season and I am currently in my second year of a 2-year term as board president. I feel my participa-tion in United Way keeps me connected with the big issues in our community and allows me to have a small hand in the progress that we have been making with programs like Kitsap Strong, Graduate Strong, Homes for All and Kitsap Connect. I have found it far more satisfying to be part of a community team in tackling the tough issues rather then passing out band-aid money like the olden days. We can make a difference so I give of myself to support and improve my community. I invite you to join with us, so that together, we will win the fight for the education, health, and financial stability for all.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPONSORS!
