Brennan Ralph W. Babb Jr. The most important resource we have is people – those whom we serve and all of us who volunteer, who work, who invest, and who care about making a long-term change in community conditions. We work with business, government, the media, nonprofits – because it takes a whole community to get the kind of results we need. THE POWER OF VOLUNTEERS United Way Community Services’ George W. Romney Volunteer Center mobilizes groups and individuals around volunteerism and develops leadership skills of volunteers in order to increase the community capacity in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Days of Caring ramp build. 6 DAYS OF CARING • United Way Community Services Campaign Kick Off Days Of Caring On Sept. 10 and 11, 2004, over 1,200 volunteers from companies, service organizations, faith based and youth organizations participated in over 80 projects around the tri-county. These projects included packing food boxes at Gleaners Community Food Bank, landscaping at youth serving organizations and building 45 handicap access ramps for individual homes. • Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Of Caring United Way continued its 11-year MLK Day tradition of impact by partnering with University of Michigan-Dearborn, Henry Ford Community College and Davenport University to celebrate by giving back. Approximately 275 students participated in service projects at 17 sites. • Warren Woods Tower High School Warren Woods Tower High School promotes service to the students; some of their key clubs and freshmen are encouraged to participate. Now in its second year, activities involved 160 students. • West Bloomfield High School This relatively new service partnership provided community service opportunities to 48 students at four area sites. The Southeast Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council (SMCVC) was revitalized in June 2004. Over 30 corporations were represented at the launch, and 22 corporations have joined as members. The mission of the council is to act as a catalyst for businesses to build, promote, and sustain successful volunteer programs that serve the metropolitan Detroit community. The Board Walk training series, a partnership between United Way, Detroit Executive Service Corp and, VAST, helps improve board functioning through targeted trainings. Lawrence Technological Institute joined the partnership in 2004, contributing space and additional marketing. The Super Bowl Host Committee selected Volunteer Solutions as the tool they would use to manage the 10,000 volunteers recruited for Super Bowl XL. They also asked that United Way partner with them around volunteer recruitment, and chair and participate on the Volunteer Advisory Committee to facilitate recruitment. Volunteer Solutions, an interactive, web-based recruitment and matching system, monitors the number of agencies, volunteers and opportunities that are registered each month. The total number of volunteers registered on Volunteer Solutions increased 11 percent from 2003 to 2004. It takes the whole community – working together – to create real change. As metro Detroit’s leading community impact organization, United Way brings together people and organizations from all across metro Detroit to tackle the issues that matter most. By focusing on the bottomline results -- the lives we change and the communities we shape – we help improve the quality of life in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. THE POWER OF COMMUNITY United Way’s Special Summer Program continued its work with more than 30 tri-county programs, providing young people with positive development activities that are also fun, diverse and safe learning experiences. Since the program began in 1967, more than 500,000 young people have participated in the Special Summer Program positive youth development activities. 2004 United Way / NFL Hometown Huddle held at Ford Field. The Ray West Memorial Ramp Project improved the lives of 47 families across southeastern Michigan, building and installing wheelchair ramps at no cost through a generous material donation from National Lumber Company of Warren and the efforts of more than 800 volunteers. Members, retirees and local and international leadership from the following contributed to 34 ramps: U.A.W., Locals 7, 22, 51, 140, 155, 163, 174, 212, 228, 245, 372, 400, 412, 653, 869, 889, 909, 961, 1700, 1979, 2280 & A.F.L.C.I.O. affiliates involved were U.W.U.A., Local 223, U.A. Local 636, C.W.A., Local 4001, I.B.T., Local 299 & I.B.E.W., Local 58. United Way’s NFL partnership with the Detroit Lions continued in two separate events: • Held in each NFL city across the county, Hometown Huddle is a day of civic engagement for pro players and their local United Ways. More than 25 Detroit Lions players and alumni joined high school students from Allen Park High School, Murray-Wright High School, and L’Anse Creuse North High School, several United Way partner agencies and other volunteers to create holiday packages for needy area families. 8 • The 2004 NFL/United Way Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show entertainment featured multi-platinum recording artist John Mellancamp. The performance also featured local dancers from southeast Michigan dance studios and high schools. Last year’s show focused on getting people involved in their communities. United Way’s Labor Department distributed unemployment kits to thousands of laid-off workers, encompassing several plant closings and held agency fairs to provide needed information about available community services and programs. Plant closings included Meridan Automotive – Dearborn; K-Mart Distribution Center – Canton; Food Basic – Detroit; SET Enterprise – Warren and City of Detroit Workers – Detroit. Along with organized labor, the department also assembled and distributed over 350 holiday gift baskets to make the season memorable for those in need. Additionally, more than $4,000 was raised and over 15,000 informational items were distributed at Ford Field during LaborFest 2004. United Way helps bring communities together to take a look at the most urgent needs and determine how best to improve lives. If it requires fundraising, public policy advocacy or just getting people to work together, that’s what we do. We look deep into the issues – it’s not enough to feed a hungry family, we work to change the conditions that led to their hunger in the first place. THE POWER OF PROGRAMMING Individual Development Accounts make it possible for low-income individuals to purchase a first home, start or grow a business, or to pay for college or vocational training by showing them how to save money and to build wealth through acquired assets. IDAs provide program participants with a 4:1 match for a first home purchase or assistance with a business startup, and an 8:1 match for college or vocational training. 2004 saw the advent of youth-based IDAs, offering participants an 8:1 match on funds they save. Money can be used for tuition or to purchase a computer to help them with coursework. Additionally, an employerbased IDA, has been established with a local corporation, providing their workers with a 4:1 match on funds saved to purchase a first home. United Way mobilized law enforcement officials, along with residents, community partners and government leaders for its Taking Action Against Violence initiative. The IDA program held 101 active accounts in 2004; 47 homeownership, eight business, and 46 college tuition and vocational school accounts. Savings for the 101 accounts totaled $77,865, approximately $344,693 was provided in matching funds and mortgages on the 47 homes equaled $4,624,610. Metro Detroit’s Promise, is now in year three of a five-year initiative to mobilize community partners in order to build the character and competence of youth in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. From tutoring programs to sports camps to employability and life skills training, our diverse group of partners provides an array of services that change lives. In fact, during the past year, MDP partners have delivered one or more of the five promises to more than 6,610 children and youth. At 10 least 2,486 youth were delivered each of the promises. In 2004, United Way announced the availability of $50,000 for each MDP Task Force Region. Those funds will aid the development of initiatives that engage MDP’s Sites of Promise (SOP) in more targeted promise delivery in each of the four geographic divisions between April 2005 and March 2006. The grants are funded jointly by United Way and the Ford Motor Company Fund. The Taking Action Against Violence initiative was launched in 2004 in response to a succession of violent crimes in the city of Detroit. During the first phase, United Way mobilized residents, community partners, government leaders and law enforcement officials in an effort to identify the most critical issues related to violence in two of the city’s toughest precincts – the 5th precinct and the 9th precinct. More than 800 residents turned out for violence prevention rallies held in each precinct during August 2004. Those events were followed by town hall meetings in the precincts, during which residents prioritized conditions leading to crime in their neighborhoods. In early 2005, Macomb and Wayne counties started TAAV initiatives. Violent crime is a regional issue and best addressed through public-private sector partnerships. TAAV will serve as United Way’s framework for creating change in this area. More than 33,700 callers dialed United Way’s Tel-Help service in 2004 for information and referral assistance. That volume is expected to grow when the capabilities of the system are upgraded with the launch of United Way 2-1-1 in December 2005. When introduced, the three digit number 2-1-1 will greatly enhance the existing telephone service with critical health and human service resources that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The network will also compile statistics into a database United Way can use to analyze service delivery and consumer needs. This allows planners to locate services where they are needed most, increasing community impact and boosting efficiency. United Way convened a coalition of 20 public and private agencies, churches and other service providers and leaders from the Hispanic community in Macomb County to better meet the social services, health, educational and economic development needs of the area’s burgeoning Hispanic population. United Way has provided $67,000 in special grants to assist this community. Additionally, materials regarding state health insurance and bus transportation have been translated. A $5,000 grant application for a substance abuse prevention program was developed and approved by the state. Coalition results include Mobile Clinic weekly from Mt. Clemens General, two established FEMA sites in the Hispanic Community for emergency food, shelter and utility assistance, Girl Scouts troop for Hispanic girls and increased participation in Headstart classes. The Nonprofit Facilities Center, a joint program of United Way and Nonprofit Finance Fund, is designed to help metro Detroit nonprofits plan, develop and manage their facility projects. In partnership with more than 200 local nonprofits and more than 70 corporate and foundation donors, NFC’s services include workshops, one-on-one consultations, planning grants, capital grants and capital loans. Ultimately, NFC provides increased access to health care, mental health treatment, education and job training, transitional homeless services and other critical human and social services. Ron Gettelfinger, president, International Union UAW, chaired the 2004 annual campaign to lead the community in reaching its goal for the first time in four years, raising $64,501,220. This includes $2,008,750 in corporate contributions raised for New Detroit Inc. THE POWER OF INVESTING Ford Land presented the second annual Virgil H. Carr Memorial United Way Classic at the TPC of Michigan in July 2004 as part of the Ford Senior Players Championship. More than $105,000 was raised to support United Way 2-1-1. Participants played the course under the same conditions and pin placements as professionals play in the final round of the Ford Senior Players Championship. United Way President and CEO Mike Brennan (far left) and International Union UAW President and 2004 Campaign Chair Ron Gettelfinger (far right) are joined on the field at Comerica Park with United Way Torchlighters Annie Maude Kaigler, Karen Walker Weaver, Judy Montgomery, Jaime Junior, Jaimee Nolan and Kim Perkins, along with United Way mascot Captain Carin’. The third annual Labor/United Way Campaign Kickoff was held at United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 876 in Madison Heights. This was the most participation since its inception. Participants included in-plant campaign coordinators and retirees from the following unions: A.F.S.C.M.E., Council 25, Building Trades, C.W.A. Local 4009, Electrical Workers, Local 17, Electrical Workers, Local 58, I.U.O.E., Local 547, Metro A.F.L.C.I.O. Council, S.E.I.U.

DaimlerChrysler Corp., Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. contributed to a pool of matching funds to encourage new and increased gifts to the Alexis de Tocqueville Society. Individuals who made a new gift of $10,000 or more generated a matching gift of an equal amount. Individuals who contributed $10,000 or more in 2003 and increased their gift in 2004, generated a matching gift equal to the amount of the increase. 12 United Way’s Meeting Sponsorship Pool underwrote costs for several 2004 events, including the Honor Awards Luncheon, Torchlighting Ceremony, Mid-Campaign Report Luncheon and the Victory Celebration Luncheon.

Under the volunteer leadership of Greg C. Smith, executive vice president and president of the Americas at Ford Motor Company, Leadership Giving set new records for overall membership and total contributions, and a new high for membership in the prestigious Alexis de Tocqueville Society. For 2004, there were 6,375 Leadership Givers, representing a 7.6 percent increase over 2003. Leadership contributions totaled $13.5 million, an increase of 4.5 percent. Leadership gifts accounted for 21 percent of the overall campaign, or more than one out of every five dollars contributed to the Torch Drive. The Virgil H. Carr Society for African-American leadership givers hosted its second Blue Light in the Basement party for current and potential members. The celebration took place at the historic former home of Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. Membership in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society reached a new high of 247 members, an increase of more than six percent, with gifts from members totaling $3.7 million. DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation were instrumental in the success of the Tocqueville program. Each contributed to a fund that provided a dollar for dollar match for all new Alexis de Tocqueville members and for any gift increase from returning members. In October 2004, Judge Avern Cohn was the keynote speaker at a Law Firm Breakfast for managing partners and key attorneys from area private 14 firms. This successful event enabled United Way to re-engage with key leaders in the legal community and helped recruit 13 additional members to the Tocqueville Society. Anthony Earley, chairman and CEO of DTE Energy, and his wife Sarah, hosted the Alexis de Tocqueville Annual Dinner at their home. The event, sponsored by Lear Corporation and Visteon Corporation, provided an opportunity for United Way to recognize longstanding volunteers Joel and Shelley Tauber with the Alexis de Tocqueville Society Award and Walter and Retha Douglas with the Max M. Fisher Community Service Award. United Way’s Women’s Initiative is committed to mobilizing women as engaged philanthropists through leadership, fundraising and advocacy to improve lives in our community. This Leadership Giving program is led by 15 community members who contribute $5,000 or more to United Way annually. General members of the Initiative contribute $1,000 or more annually. Early childhood literacy has been selected as the Women’s Initiative issue area focus. Through their work, members hope to focus attention and advocacy around children’s ability to enter school ready to succeed. Long-term, the Initiative seeks to improve the readiness of pre-schoolers for kindergarten and ultimately, the percentage of third graders reading at grade level. Highlighting the 2004-2005 year was a Women’s Economic Club meeting featuring eBay CEO Meg Whitman who spoke about “Women and Philanthropy.” Susan M. Cischke, chair of the Women’s Initiative and vice president of environmental and Safety Engineering for Ford Motor Company had the pleasure of addressing the group about our Women’s Initiative and the focus on Childhood Literacy. She then introduced Meg Whitman. This unique occasion enabled the members to reach a captive audience of hundreds of powerful, influential women in southeastern Michigan. LEADERSHIP GIVING Tocqueville Society The Tocqueville Society is named after the 19th Century French nobleman who admired Americans’ unique spirit of volunteerism. The Society’s membership comprises a special group of influential individuals who have made a significant philanthropic commitment of $10,000 or more to our community by partnering with United Way to help make a difference in metro Detroit.
