United Way of Central Indiana 2014 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

Serving Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Marion and Morgan counties

VISIONCentral Indiana will be a community where children, individuals and families thrive; neighbors care for each other; and we are proud of all our residents’ quality of life.

MISSIONUnited Way of Central Indiana helps people learn more, earn more and lead safe and healthy lives.

DIVERSITY STATEMENTUnited Way of Central Indiana believes in fairness and equality and recognizes the value of inclusiveness by encouraging the full participation of all individuals in fulfilling its mission. United Way of Central Indiana recognizes the strength of diversity which acknowledges and celebrates a society of different individuals, cultures and perspectives whose knowledge, skills and talents enrich and strengthen us as a people. United Way of Central Indiana believes in and practices equal opportunity in its operations, community engagement, employment and decision-making, and encourages inclusion of diverse members of our community.

Dear Friends,

Last year we introduced you to the New U, our community impact strategy for Central Indiana. Focusing our efforts on bold goals in Education, Income, Health and Basic Needs was a shift in perspective for many of our constituents. However, it wasn’t a shift from our core mission-driven work. United Way has always been committed to making positive, sustainable change in the community, helping residents learn more, earn more and lead safe and healthy lives.

So, what’s different?

First, working with key community partners, we developed strategic, measurable goals that we believe will move Central Indiana in the right direction. These aren’t United Way goals; they are true community goals, and it’s going to take all of us – companies, neighborhoods, individuals – working together to move the needle and create the long-term change we want to see.

Second, we didn’t announce a public fundraising goal. Did you catch that? Not once in the local media did a dollar figure goal make the headlines. And when you drove by the United Way office, did you see a thermometer in the yard? This was an intentional move. After all, what does that dollar figure represent? Can a yard sign or headline accurately convey our impact on the community? We didn’t think so either.

In 2014, we successfully changed the conversation. People aren’t asking us, “How much money did you raise?” They’re asking, “How did you improve lives and make our community better?” While it’s still early in the overall plan, we are seeing some encouraging results, particularly with our pre-K partnerships with the city and state, our 2-1-1 public policy work, and the Center for Working Families model, among others. Flip through the pages to see more ways the New U is changing the landscape of our community.

While we know there will be both challenges and successes along the way, we need you to be part of our team. To achieve real, lasting community change, we all have to work together. We are honored to have you as a partner in creating a better future for Central Indiana.

Thank you for supporting United Way!

Sincerely,

Ann D. MurtlowPresident & CEOUnited Way of Central Indiana

2014 Annual Report | 2

Education

HealthIncome

Basic Needs

When developing the New U goals, we looked closely at our four community priorities, taking a deep dive into each and defining what success for the community would look like. In this report, you’ll see the goals, progress toward each and successes we celebrated in 2014. But before we get into the specifics, let’s go back to the basics: why these priorities?

We focus on Education because we know it’s the best path out of poverty; Income because stable employment and financial literacy provide a solid foundation for families to grow; Health because without proper nutrition and healthful habits, children can’t learn and grow; and Basic Needs because when people’s basic needs aren’t met, they are not in a position to improve their situation.

Each of these areas of impact has one thing in common: All must be met in order for families and individuals to achieve – and maintain – self-sufficiency.

THE PATH TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY From birth to ultimate success in

life, our paths can take many turns. United Way helps families and individuals along their path to self-sufficiency in three essential ways:

1. We support a strong network of human service agencies that align with our community priorities.

2. We connect the dots between those agencies and others doing work in the sector to provide services necessary for success.

3. We keep a bird’s-eye view on the entire pathway to identify gaps and weaknesses and strategically invest community resources to fill them.

THE PATH TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY

By working together as a community and focusing our efforts on helping residents overcome barriers in their path and achieve stability, we are improving lives in Central Indiana.

EDUCATION

United Way of Central Indiana focuses on Education because it’s the best path out of poverty. In 2014, we achieved many milestones in our education work:

•20,000childreninIndianachildcarecentersaresafer.

•4,300childrenareinhigh-qualitypreschoolprograms, with that number expected to increase exponentially in 2015.

•ThroughBridgestoSuccess,weworkedwith546community partners in 20 schools to help remove the barriers to learning by connecting additional resources with schools. Because of these partnerships, Bridges to Success was able to help 9,127 students.

•ReadUPstudentswhoreceived2-3tutoringsessionsperweek achieved an 80% ISTEP pass rate, compared to theirschoolaverageof68%.

MacKenzie started the year “hating to read” and wasn’t thrilled tobeparticipatinginReadUP.Shebeganwiththreetutoringsessions a week, and soon her attitude about reading evolved into “loving to read.” During the end of the year celebration, the principalannouncedthatshenotonlypassedtheIREAD3exam,but she scored a perfect score on the assessment! MacKenzie was extremely proud of herself and completely changed her opinionofreading,thankstoReadUPandthesupportofhertutor.

In2014,ReadUPachieveditshighestpercentage(79%)ofstudents receiving tutoring sessions three times a week. This is an especially important milestone, as test scores show that ReadUPstudentsreceiving2-3sessionsperweekachievedan80%ISTEPpassratecomparedtotheirschoolaverageof68%.Five hundred students received tutoring in 2014, thanks to the dedication of 860 tutors at 31 ReadUP sites.

Two pivotal steps were taken to increase quality early childhood education, and United Way was at the forefront. First, Marion County was selected as one of five pilot counties eligible for the state-funded On My Way Pre-K scholarships, awarding qualifying low-income families free pre-K for their children.

Shortly after, the city of Indianapolis adopted its first-ever preschool program, Indianapolis Preschool Scholarship Program (Indy PSP). United Way was selected to serve as administrator for both programs, overseeing the application, outreach, capacity-building and evaluation processes.

Indy PSP, in partnership with On My Way Pre-K, is expected to serve more than 1,500 children in 2015.

Because of programs like these, more children in Indianapolis will have the quality care and education they need to reach their highest potential!

HOW WE’RE GETTING THERE


INCOME

When Amanda initially came to a CWF site, her minimum wage job did not pay the bills, and she was living paycheck to paycheck. Through CWF, Amanda enrolled in High School Equivalency(HSE)classes.Shebeganworkingwithcoacheswho helped her create a budget, develop a résumé and practice her interview skills. She also enrolled in a 10-week Microsoft Office course.

Amanda successfully passed her courses and was awarded a $500 scholarship toward industry-recognized training or post-secondary education. She found full-time employment as a leasing consultant and earns $11 an hour, far more than her previous minimum wage job. Amanda credits her CWF coaches with helping her get ahead, saying, “If it wasn’t for the coaches, I would not be where I am today.” Amanda says she is very happy with her new job and plans to enroll in college.

Linda, an Indy Free Tax Prep volunteer for 15 years, has helped countless people save money through the Volunteer Income TaxAssistance(VITA)program.Thoughshe’sassistedmanypeople, one has remained the most memorable. A mother who had tragically lost her son and became guardian of her grandchild shared her heartbreaking story with Linda. Linda comforted her and informed her of several tax credits she could now claim for being her grandchild’s guardian. These credits would reduce the woman’s taxes and possibly increase her refund.

Linda helped the mother with more than her taxes, though. She was especially thankful for Linda’s kind words during her grief, and Linda believed the woman left the VITA site with more knowledge and encouragement. “For me this experience epitomizes the mission of the VITA volunteer role,” Linda said. “...making a difference in the lives of others.”

CENTER FOR WORKING FAMILIES VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE

United Way focuses on Income/Financial Stability because we know that stable employment and financial literacy provide a solid foundation for families to grow.

•Last year, United Way-supported programs helped 3,750 individuals find and hold a job and 3,500 increase their income.

•VolunteerIncomeTaxAssistance(VITA)programassisted over 7,000 individuals for a total of $9.5 million returned to our community.

United Way focuses on Health as a community priority because research shows that proper nutrition and exercise habits during childhood lead to a healthy, vibrant adulthood. A few of the successes you helped us achieve last year include:

•25,000peopleparticipatedinnutrition and fitness programs.

•26,000receivedwellnessscreeningsand/or immunizations.

•1.4millionnutritiousmealsandsnacks were served to children.

HEALTH

Launched in 2014, Jump IN for Healthy Kids is a community-wide campaign to reduce childhood obesity by ensuring that children and their families have real opportunities to make healthy choices in healthy environments.

Last year, Jump IN engaged more than 120 organizations to develop strategies to improve nutrition and physical activity in schools, early learning and child care centers, and throughout the community. Those strategies will create better access to nutritious, affordable food and more opportunities to play in safe and accessible places.

In the first quarter of 2015, Jump IN collected height and weight data for more than 1,000 preschoolers in 33 early care and education sites in Marion County and surrounding counties. This data will be analyzed at the IU Fairbanks School of Public Health and the Marion County Health Department to help establish a baseline for tracking progress toward goals.

Several youth organizations and United Way agencies serving morethan60,000childreninCentralIndianahavetakenthe “Jump IN Pledge” to serve healthy meals, snacks and beverages; to teach youth to make healthy food choices; and to provide ample opportunities for their young people to play and be physically active.

Jump IN and its partners are working diligently to create a community whose culture of health inspires children and their families to lead healthy lives.

Each winter, many vulnerable Hoosiers struggle to pay the high cost of heating. They often seek assistance through public programs to help with their utility bills, like the Indianapolis Energy AssistanceProgram(IndyEAP).

In 2014, United Way of Central Indiana was named grant administrator of Indy EAP as part of a consortium that also includes the John H. Boner Community Center and Connect2Help 2-1-1.

While the program year runs through September, so far more than 20,000 households have been approved for assistance, and over $6.4 million in relief has been provided.

Assistance from Indy EAP means a cancer patient receiving chemotherapy can keep her house warm. It means a disabled resident on a fixed income can continue to live independently. And it means many more residents won’t have to decide between buying groceries and paying their heating bill.

ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

United Way of Central Indiana recognizes that an individual must have adequate food, housing and utilities in order to be in a position to strive for self-sufficiency.

Our focus on meeting Basic Needs for Central Indiana’s most vulnerable residents has led to many strong results in the last year:

•3,167peoplereceivedemergencyshelterafter fleeing domestic abuse.

•275,140peoplewhocalled2-1-1wereconnected to466,921services.

•WinterAssistanceFundhelped624familiesstaywarm.

•UnitedChristmasServiceprovidedfood,clothing and toys to 4,444 families.

BASIC NEEDS

“Abby” is a domestic abuse survivor who found help through Alternatives Incorporated, a United Way-supported organization that aims to eradicate family violence.

For six years, this mother of two faced abuse from her husband, who even bought a gun and started threatening her life. Abby attempted to leave multiple times and reached out to agencies for help, but only received assistance after a co-worker she confided in told her about Alternatives.

Abby went to Alternatives’ emergency shelter where she attended support groups, participated in case management, and worked remotely from her job. Alternatives also helped Abby file for divorce, terminate her current lease, and provided financial assistance.

With Alternatives’ support, Abby realized she deserved better, saying, “I will fight for myself because I am important. I deserve to find my greatness and live my life fully and completely, with no regrets.”
