BUILDING STRONGER

COMMUNITIES TOGETHER

United Way of Franklin County

2016 Annual Report FY 2015-2016

The year of 2015-2016 brought change to the United Way of Franklin County.

It being my first year as the new Executive Director, I had much to learn and

manage very quickly. It was an exciting and challenging year. With the help of a

fantastic board of directors and great staff, things happened- I am proud of how

much we accomplished together for Franklin County!

Franklin County Young Professionals organized its first event. Over 100 people

attended and a planning committee was formed. Now celebrating their 2nd

year,

FCYP has recently hosted the FCYP Nonprofit Board Fair with Leadership Pioneer

Valley’s Leaders OnBoard program, and collaborated with the YMCA in Greenfield

for Dodge for a Cause! Currently they are developing a strategic plan with lots of

new ideas and opportunities for area young professionals to get involved.

As you may know, United Way relies heavily on employee giving via workplace campaigns, accounting for almost

40% of our total 2015-16 campaign. But as the traditional workplace is changing-businesses closing or becoming

increasingly corporate and less local, the philanthropic landscape is transforming. United Way of Franklin County

recognized the steady decline of workplace campaigns and began a special giving program to grow our support

for our partner agencies.

In September 2015, the ‘Community Builder’ program was implemented– a monthly giving program for donors

who want to have a sustainable, ongoing participation in many programs, social issues & community needs across

Franklin County. This program allows United Way of Franklin County to plan better and lower fundraising &

administration costs so more funds go to our partner agencies serving residents with the most need.

In 2016, we doubled the number of Community Builders!

The board of directors embarked on a 3-year strategic plan that will focus on our Community Investment

priorities -- whether or not we are meeting the needs of our community and addressing the most pressing

issues. The plan will help direct campaign funds and show us where United Way has the greatest opportunity

for making a deeper impact in Franklin County.

United Way of Franklin County collaborates with many organizations throughout the county to better understand

and learn how we can have a greater impact. With every dollar raised, thanks to donors like you, we work together

to build a stronger community. What we raise here stays in our community, funding over 40 community programs

through our partner agencies. I invite you to learn more about United Way of Franklin County and become

involved with this great organization. Together we build a stronger community for all.

With much appreciation,

Sandy Sayers, Executive Director

Creating a supportive and healthy early foundation helps children to

become successful adults. During their school years, children need to

build on this early foundation in order to graduate from high school and

achieve financial stability as adults.

The United Way is committed to providing children access to learning

opportunities within our community. Education is essential to a

community’s economic prosperity, thus providing jobs with livable wages

and benefits. Education Programs focus on children up to age 18.

Sometimes people need assistance with the skills necessary to support

themselves and their families, especially during emergencies and life

transitions. This can include the transition of moving from homelessness

to a shelter or to a home or apartment. It includes access to food and

clothing, jobs, and English language training.

Financial Stability Programs focus on food insecurity, crisis intervention,

adult job and life training, and youth development.

Women’s Way – or the Women’s Leadership Council –

was formed in 2005 by a group of local women wanting

opportunities to make a difference in their community.

Every year Women’s Way hosts two events, “Supper for

Six” and “It’s Blooming Backpacks“, to support the needs of

children and families in Franklin County.

In June of 2016, Women's Way held the United Way Day

of Action Oral Health Drive, providing community

members with oral health kits.



August 2015, 565 backpacks filled with

school supplies were collected.

February 2016, 454 “Supper for Six” bags

were collected.

June 2016 over 2,000 oral health kits were

distributed to the community.

Formed to help develop and enhance

opportunities for the next generation of

Franklin County’s community & business

leaders. Providing networking, social,

professional and philanthropic opportunities.
