CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS:CREATING COMMUNITY IMPACT IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION

UNITED WAY WORLDWIDE

United Way is the largest privately funded nonprofit in the world with nearly 1,800 community-based United

Ways in 41 countries and territories. Throughout the Asia-Pacific region, United Way creates opportunities for

a better life for all by focusing on education, income and health – the building blocks for a good quality of life.

By focusing specifically on these issues, United Way transforms communities and creates lasting change.

United Way recruits the people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to

get things done. All people and organizations have unique expertise and talents that can help improve society.

United Way seeks their leadership and takes to scale their ideas to create long-term change.

In addition to managing highly successful workforce campaigns, United Way creates shared value with companies,

through partnerships that deliver on corporate social responsibility and strategic business goals, including:

n Philanthropic Partnerships: Collective impact and grantmaking focused on education, income and health.

n Employee Engagement: Volunteer projects, leadership development, board membership, affinity groups.

n Consumer Engagement: Cause marketing.

Smart partnerships that create shared value are at the core of United Way work.

In order for people to have long-term success, all sectors must be engaged and

contribute to community wellbeing. The deep community roots and long-term local

relationships of United Ways around the world provide a strong link between people

and organizations.

United Way creates and sustains collective impact by serving as the backbone for

community change. As a backbone organization, United Way works with partners

to identify community challenges, engages private and public sector leaders, and

coordinates agendas with partners to leverage and measure collective efforts.

When United Way leverages its role as a funder to build relationships between

organizations rather than fund them individually, it creates shared value by forming

strong multi-lateral relationships.

Community members in the Asia-Pacific region are well positioned to know what a community needs to succeed,

and United Way works with these leaders – across sectors – to identify the most urgent needs and develop a plan

of action to meet them. United Way is both global and local – it is big and small at the same time. Local leadership,

resources and decision making, paired with a world of best-practices and community impact experience, are a

winning formula for advancing the common good in communities around the world.

CREATING COMMUNITY IMPACT IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION


SUPPORTING YOUTH DEVELOPMENTThe International Labor Organization estimates that in 2010, 40 percent of unemployed people were between

the ages of 15 and 24. The study also found many youth maintained poor quality or low paying jobs, often in the

informal economy. Close to 790 million, or 38 percent, of the population in the Asia-Pacific region are under the

age of 24, making a strong case for addressing the needs of young people as effective ambassadors for positive

and lasting social change.

United Ways across the region work with each other and with local government and business partners to ensure

young people in their communities complete secondary school; are prepared to enter the workforce or be self-

employed; and are given the opportunity to receive post-secondary education.

SAMSUNG AND EARLY EDUCATIONThrough partnerships that originated with United Ways in Korea, Samsung made a million dollar gift to United Way

for Greater Austin in Texas to advance early education for underserved children.

WORLDWIDE VOLUNTEERINGEmployee passion for causes they support is an unmatched brand-builder for companies. Today, 84 percent of

companies believe that volunteers can help achieve long-term social goals.

As part of the year-round effort to harness the power of volunteers to achieve our goals around education, income

and health, United Way Worldwide coordinates an annual Worldwide Day of Action on December 5. In 2011,

United Ways in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and the United States promoted volunteer engagement

through social and traditional media and mobilized thousands of volunteers to give back to their communities.

Eighteen United Ways in 13 countries participated in the 2011 event, doubling the 2010 participation.

PARTNERSHIP WITH CITIThe United Way footprint in the Asia-Pacific region provides a powerful vehicle for corporations to work with a

network of organizations in countless communities. Citi works with United Way in India, Taiwan, Indonesia and

the Philippines and benefits from the United Way knowledge of local needs and partnerships that have a track

record in addressing pressing community issues.

n Yayasan Mitra Mandiri (United Way Indonesia) partners with Citi to provide financial literacy training for 7,000 students through theatrical performances in schools and financial instruction to the public through a nation-wide television campaign.

n United Way Phillipines partners with Citi to run an employee campaign and volunteering program to support disaster relief and rehabilitation and the Brigada Eskwela (National Schools Maintenance Week).

These partnerships create positive and lasting change by engaging Citi employees and customers through effective volunteering, fundraising and grant making.

JAPAN TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE RESPONSEFollowing the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the United Way network sprang to action. With more than

320,000 people displaced, United Ways in Korea, Taiwan and the United States mobilized to raise more than

USD 16 million for Japanese relief efforts.

n Central Community Chest of Japan (United Way Japan) coordinated the Japanese Council for Disaster Relief Project for Volunteers in collaboration with other Japanese nonprofit organizations. In addition, Central Community Chest of Japan worked closely with the government, local businesses and NGOs in coordinating ground response, volunteers and the distribution of relief supplies.

n Community Chest of Korea (United Way Korea) organized a public campaign, mobilizing 700 corporations and 30,000 individuals to raise USD 8.9 million for long term community development of the affected communities through Central Community Chest of Japan.

n In partnership with Yahoo Taiwan and 7-Eleven, United Way of Taiwan raised nearly USD 6 million through online and in-store donations.

n Through the Ralph Lauren cause-marketing program, funds were raised to support the Central Community Chest of Japan. USD 2.3 million was raised from sales of signature Polo shirts, and consumer and employee fundraising. USD 1.5 million was dispersed to Central Community Chest of Japan to fund volunteer and education programs benefitting victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
