Dear Friend of United Way
Weld County is a special place. The people and businesses are incredibly generous, but they are alsosavvy. They want to know that they are making a smart investment and that every dollar donated toUnited Way of Weld County is going to help people. Thanks to the unparalleled support of ourCornerstone Partners, 100% of any donation to United Way of Weld County is indeed, helping people.The generosity of this elite group of businesses and foundations pays for administrative and fundraisingcosts.
United Way of Weld County investments are yielding results. United Way continues to foster collaborationand mutual support among the many agencies in our area. We encourage them to unify their efforts toprovide outcome-based, client supportive programs that are more cost effective. The Champions Programis a perfect example. It brings numerous agencies together to foster self-sufficiency, and in doing so itcapitalizes on the strengths of the involved agencies and better meets the needs of struggling families inour community.
More results like this will be possible in the future thanks to continued collaborative work and our tirelesscampaign volunteers helping the community understand the importance of individual donors unitingtogether to meet pressing needs that cannot be met individually.

United Way priorities:

Asking for help and knowing how to access health and humanservices can be difficult. Today people who never needed helpbefore find themselves overwhelmed and not sure where toturn. It can be as simple as needing child care so you can goto work or an after school program for your youngster or ascomplicated as loosing a job and facing a potential foreclosureon your home. During times of disaster our community needs away to help people with their non-emergency request and todirect volunteers and donors who want to help, thus enablingour 9-1-1, first responders and emergency professionals to con-centrate on the emergency. Helping people access services isour important and ongoing first step.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Numbers without stories. Stories without numbers. You must have both.
This is what United Way of Weld County has been addressing for the last several years. We have alwayshad great narrative evidence, wonderful stories about United Way’s impact in the community – stories ofpeople being helped when they’ve lost their home, needed food, clothing and/or shelter, needed a safehaven or counseling and more. We’ve accumulated statistics on people served or services provided.However, we had no objective way to show that we were making a measurable difference in the lives ofpeople being served, in addressing the underlying cause of their needs or in achieving positive sustain-able change in community conditions. We needed numbers, evidence to show whether or not we wereimpacting our community.
In 2005 we began implementing a strategic plan designed to move us toward a United Way model thatwould result in identified and measurable community impact. A major element of this plan was to assistour grantee agencies and collaborative partners in developing desired outcomes, or results, of their workand ways to measure the success in achieving those results. Because of the commitment, expertise andhard work of many volunteers and staff, not only of United Way of Weld County, but also of our granteeagencies and community partners, we are well on our way to having those outcomes and measures devel-oped. Please notice that I included “hard work” in describing what was necessary to achieve this goal.We may develop goals, visions and dreams of what might be, but much more is required to bring it toreality. That “much more” is the time and effort that must be expended to achieve the desired results.And we do, indeed, appreciate the support of our community. The journey toward community impact con-tinues.
LIVE UNITED.
