UWWC 2014 Annual Report - United Way of Western Connecticut

LIVE UNITED
FISCAL YEAR 2014 ANNUAL REPORT &
2015 CALENDAR
FROM OUR CEO & BOARD CHAIR
Many of us who live in Connecticut feel fortunate to experience the delight of the changing seasons here in the
Northeast. Whether you enjoy watching the leaves falling and the beauty of the fall foliage or you prefer seeing
the crocuses sprouting each spring and having the warmth of the sun on longer days, residents of Connecticut
are accustomed to seasonal changes. Our four seasons have something wonderfully different to offer.
Our work at United Way of Western Connecticut (UWWC) tends to ebb and flow with the changing seasons.
It is year-round, and the challenges that hard-working families in Western CT face continue even as
the temperature might rise or fall.
Winter ushers in snow and colder temperatures, and provides more time with family around the holidays.
It’s also the perfect time to reflect on holiday giving and establish financial goals for the new year.
Kimberly A. Morgan
Chief Executive Officer
Spring kicks off our most active period of volunteerism. It’s when many people also refocus on their
personal health leading into summer.
Summer marks a time for youth volunteering and our important back to school programs.
In Autumn, the start of the school year coincides with the launch of many of our annual workplace campaigns.
It’s also a natural time for many of our food drives to ensure that all families in our communities have food on
their tables, especially during the upcoming holidays.
Each new month on this calendar offers you a new opportunity to give back to our communities and gives us
more time to make progress toward a collective impact in Western CT.
We thank our dedicated employees, donors and volunteers who work with us year-round to improve lives
by mobilizing the power of our caring communities to create lasting change.
UWWC continues to bring the resources together to help solve complex problems that no one organization
can solve alone. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when workers have solid jobs, when families
are financially stable and when our community is healthy and strong.
We invite you to keep this 2015 calendar up in your homes and offices year-round to keep our mission top of
mind. Why not consider increasing your involvement with us this year? Each month, we’ve highlighted dates
and programs that you might be interested in.
Join us in 2015 and LIVE UNITED.

WHO WE ARE
Our Mission:
Our Collaborative Partners:
To improve lives by mobilizing the power of caring
communities to create lasting change.
United Way brings together resources, both human and
capital, to solve the complex community problems that
no one individual or organization can solve alone. We
believe that true community-wide systems change requires
collaboration across many sectors: corporate, government,
nonprofit and academia. That is why we work closely with
collaboratives around our three pillars of work: Education,
Income and Health.
Our Vision:
United Way of Western Connecticut is committed to
ensuring that every child enters school ready to learn, every
family is financially stable and every community we serve
is healthy and strong. We will be the recognized leader in
identifying issues and a pathway to solutions.

We are among a group of
Connecticut United Ways that
released a groundbreaking study
on a segment of our population
termed ALICE: Asset Limited, Income
Constrained, Employed. ALICE
households are made up of residents
who work hard, but still struggle
to make ends meet.
The ALICE report found that 26%
of households in Western Connecticut
cannot afford the basics of housing,
food, health care, child care,
and transportation. When ALICE
struggles, it affects the overall
social and economic viability of
our communities.
In addition to the grants and
initiative funding that United Way
supports, ALICE families can also
receive assistance through United
Way’s 2-1-1. Every hour of every day,
Connecticut residents dial 2-1-1 or
go online to www.211ct.org to get
connected to essential health and
human services resources. In 2013,
United Way 2-1-1 received 14,037
calls, and 20,068 requests for
services from households throughout
Western Connecticut.

Each year at the beginning of March,
school children kick off National
Reading Month by celebrating the
birthday of the beloved Dr. Seuss.
Research shows that children who
are not reading at grade level by the
end of 3rd grade are four times more
likely to drop out of high school.
We also launched Ready, Set, Let’s
Read!, an early childhood education
initiative that places volunteers
in preschool classrooms serving
disadvantaged children to read with
them every week. Currently, UWWC
has 20 community volunteers in
16 preschool classrooms at four
Danbury preschools.
UWWC is committed to early
childhood education and invests in
programs and initiatives that ensure
that every child enters kindergarten
with the skills needed to succeed.

Last year, UWWC expanded our early
childhood literacy program,
Imagination Library, into our
eighth community, Bridgewater.
Imagination Library, a partnership
with The Dollywood Foundation,
provides a free age-appropriate book
every month to children up to their
fifth birthday.
UWWC will be launching an exciting
new STRONG START Neighborhood
initiative that provides both a
broad community perspective and
a targeted focus on the youngest
children in at-risk neighborhoods
in Danbury and Stamford. With CT
having the largest achievement gap
between low income families and
their peers, the goal is to close the
achievement gap before it even
starts by investing in children, their
families and their communities.

April is our month to say THANK YOU to
our dedicated and committed volunteers,
particularly in honor of National Volunteer
Week, an annual recognition program of
Points of Light. National Volunteer Week
is about taking action and encouraging
individuals to discover and actively
demonstrate their collective power to
make a difference in their communities.
What better way to honor our volunteers
than with community gatherings each
spring. In late March 2014, we hosted
our inaugural Hometown Heroes Benefit
Dinner in Danbury during which we
honored those in Northern Fairfield
and Southern Litchfield Counties
who distinguish themselves through
philanthropy and volunteerism. In
April 2014, we held our 20th annual
Heart of Gold Award Dinner in Stamford
honoring Tim Brown, President and
CEO of Nestlé Waters North America.
We continued to boost the capacity of
local nonprofit agencies by providing
training for potential board members and
for nonprofits in need of additional board
members through our BoardServe Western
CT training sessions. To date, BoardServe
Western CT has trained 50 individuals
and 40 nonprofits in board governance.
The Volunteer Center of UWWC saw
tremendous growth in volunteerism
by supporting numerous corporate
service projects held throughout the
year exclusive of our annual Day of
Action in June.

For many in the health profession,
May is known as both Family
Wellness Month and Employee
Health & Fitness Month, making
it an ideal month to highlight our
Health Initiatives and our Let’s
Go! 5-2-1-0 program – 5 fruits and
vegetables a day, no more than
2 hours of recreational screen time,
1 hour of physical activity, and
0 sugar-sweetened drinks,
replacing them with water.

WWW.UWWESTERNCT.ORG/MAY
Through our Strong Heart initiative,
we are partnering with community
organizations, schools and
pediatricians to teaching families
the importance of good nutrition
and physical activity as part of
a healthy lifestyle.
ELLSWORTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DANBURY
Through this work, we have been
able to measure an increased
knowledge about the benefits of
physical activity among participating
families, a decrease in their
high-calorie food consumption, a
decrease in the consumption of
sugar-sweetened drinks in most
participants, and an increase in
the opportunities available to be
physically active.
By working in partnership with our
local collaboratives, UWWC has
been able to identify opportunities
to advocate for policy and
environmental changes to improve
children and their families’ ability to
be healthy and physically active in
their neighborhoods.

By the time the month of June rolls
around each year, we all get a little
anxious to get outside and enjoy the
warmer weather. Our Day of Action
is well-timed to take advantage of
everyone’s spring fever, and is a day
that many volunteers look forward
to each year.
In addition to our volunteer efforts,
local businesses donated thousands
of dollars of materials and supplies
in support of Day of Action.
The scope of projects is always
wide ranging, and this year was
no exception. Our volunteers were
busy coordinating book drives and
book fairs for preschool children,
conducting financial literacy
workshops for area workers, and
cleaning up playgrounds and parks.
According to The Independent
Sector’s 2013 National Volunteer
Service formula, the established
benchmark for volunteer service
value, this one day of volunteering
represents nearly $115,000 in
economic value to our communities.
We can never say thank you enough
for all of the generous support from
our dedicated volunteers.

Summertime at UWWC is always
a wonderful time to witness our youth
volunteers in action. Youth Volunteer Corps
(YVC) of Western Connecticut celebrated a
big milestone last March when it reached
its five year anniversary. UWWC is proud
of our long-standing commitment to our
youth and for continuing to orchestrate
meaningful youth volunteer servicelearning projects across greater Danbury
and greater New Milford. Youth are
engaged in after-school and weekend
volunteer projects during the school
year and for extended volunteer projects
during Summer of Service.
In 2014, we expanded YVC into
Stamford, where local youth actively
participated in service projects
throughout the city during their own
Summer of Service. We also launched
a new Spring of Service Serve-A-Thon
during April break for students in greater
Danbury.
United Way’s New Milford Youth
Leadership Program is designed
to offer high school students a positive
learning and volunteer experience. Over
the course of the year, youth are trained
in team building, public speaking,
fiscal responsibility, social service
programming, and decision making.
We’ll continue to invest in our local
youth reinforcing the value of community
service and promoting the great need for
volunteerism in today’s society.

Each holiday season, UWWC
partners with various organizations
to help deliver the spirit of the
season to those less fortunate.
The Giving Fund is a six-week long
initiative in partnership with The
News-Times in which the stories
of 30 struggling individuals and
families from our local community
are shared. Readers have the
opportunity to make a donation
directly to the family in need to
help make a difference in their
lives during the holiday season.
Christmas Wish is a partnership
with Townsquare Media in which
i95 and 105.5 radio hosts share
the Christmas wishes of hundreds
of disadvantaged children over
the air and listeners have the
opportunity to fulfill their wishes.
Holiday Fruit Baskets is a program
spearheaded by the Workplace
Volunteer Council, a committee of
The Volunteer Center of UWWC.
Through this program, more than
400 low-income senior citizens
in Danbury received holiday fruit
baskets. For many, this is the only
holiday gift they receive.
