The factors that prevent children and families from experiencing safe, stable and successful lives are 3

4 United Way has provided funding in the following areas: Youth Success - 33% Too many of our children and youth face challenges that set them back for life: poor preparation for school, stressful home environments and overwhelmed parents, to name a few. United Way strategies give these children a second chance through a continuum of services to address these challenges. Success By 6 United Way s Success By 6, a partnership between United Way and the Early Learning Coalition of Duval and the Early Learning Coalition of North Florida, provides 2-year scholarships to working families with three year old children. In order to access high quality early education the children attend 5 star-rated centers and receive two years of full-day education and care. In 2016/2017 we partnered with 23 early education providers in four counties. Achievers For Life United Way s Achievers for Life (AFL) is a dropout prevention initiative focused on middle school students who are at-risk for academic failure. Dropping out is a gradual process with signs appearing as early as middle school. AFL matches the right students with the right interventions. The initiative also addresses the challenges associated with keeping students on track for high school graduation through the use of the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) created by Dr. Robert Balfanz of John s Hopkins University. The EWRS focuses on the ABC s of education: Attendance, Behavior, and Core Course grades. Financial Stability - 33% Increasing income, building savings, and gaining and sustaining assets are the basics to building a better future. United Way and its partners offer a range of services to help families move toward financial security and ultimately upward economic mobility. United Way is a lead partner in the Network For Southern Economic Mobility. This MDC-founded support network of four Southern cities is designed to deepen, accelerate and align strategic investments for systemic change in eliminating barriers to economic success for youth. RealSense United Way s RealSense initiative is a community coalition of companies, agencies, government, educational, nonprofits and other organizations. Strengthening the financial stability of Northeast Florida residents for 14 years, RealSense provides free financial education, counseling and tax preparation services to help people save money and build assets. 4

5 Health - 25% Health is a basic need that affects every aspect of a person s daily life. Good mental and physical health allows children to learn better and adults be independent and productive citizens. Full Service Schools Full Service Schools of Jacksonville is a collaborative approach to meet therapeutic, health and social-service needs of at-risk students and families in Duval County. Led by United Way, these eight school-based neighborhood centers bring together community resources, neighbors and schools to promote the health and wellbeing of students, their families and neighborhood residents. Information and Referral - 9% United Way Persons living in a nine-county region of Northeast Florida can dial 2-1-1, an easy-to-remember, three-digit telephone number. United Way connects callers to free information and referrals to health, social and human services. Counties covered are Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Baker, Nassau, Columbia, Suwannee, Hamilton and Putnam. United Way partners include, United Way of St. Johns County, United Way of Suwannee Valley, City of Jacksonville and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Help Me Grow Help Me Grow is a resource for parents and caregivers of children birth through age 8. The resource is designed to connect families to information about child development and community resources. It helps close the gap between the needs and available services for families by providing developmental screenings, referrals and carecoordination services. Any parent or community partner is welcome to dial and ask for Help Me Grow staff answer questions about a child s development, behavior, health and learning. United Way s Strategic Framework United Way envisions a community of opportunity where everyone has hope and can reach their full potential. Our mission is to solve our community s toughest challenges by connecting people, resources and ideas. United Way works to: Develop integrated solutions that improve lives and communities. Focus on what s most needed and what works locally. Get leaders and organizations from all sectors to work together. Invite thousands of people to be part of the change and amplify the impact. Solve problems no one organization can solve alone. Our strategic priorities over the coming years are to: Ensure basic needs are met for all throughout the region. Produce clear and meaningful results in areas of youth success, financial stability and health. Invest in historically challenged neighborhoods connecting efforts to impact generational poverty. 5

17 Frequently Asked Questions What are the funding areas available through? United Way is focusing on three areas of funding that will roll out over the next three to four years. Basic Needs focuses on safety net programs; Priority Goals will focus on specific strategies in the areas of youth success, financial stability and health. Priority Neighborhoods is currently in development and will be geographically specific funding. There will be specific Request For Proposals (RFP) announcements and applications for each area. When will United Way know what is going to be funded in the Priority Goals area? Agency partners will be invited to participate in conversations around the specific goals during summer Final decisions will likely be made by the end of the summer, and the Priority Goals NOFO will be released in November When does my current United Way contract end? All current contracts end June 30, At this time, agencies in good standing will be offered transition contracts for up to 12 months. The amount of those contracts has not been finalized at this time. The transition contracts will be in place until another United Way contract (i.e. Basic Needs or Priority Goals) supersedes it or until June 30, 2018 whichever comes first. When the funding process is opened to all community agencies, won t there be less money available? United Way has not set a specific funding pool or funding percentage for Basic Needs at this time. There will be several determinants for setting the pool such as the current United Way fundraising campaign and the number of agencies seeking Basic Needs funding. Will United Way be seeking large grant awards in order to fund some of its Community Impact work? Yes, it is our hope that, in partnership with our funded agencies, we can tell a compelling story and attract larger national funders and compete for federal opportunities. My agency is applying for funding in Basic Needs. Can we also apply in another area? Yes. Agencies can change their currently funded program(s) and seek funding in the areas they feel are a good fit. Those agencies that apply for services under Basic Needs can also apply for funding under Priority Goals or Priority Neighborhoods. 17

18 My agency wants to seek funding for multiple programs within the same funding area. Do we submit a separate LOI for each? Yes. Your agency must submit only one Prequalification Checklist and one set of financials, but it must have a separate LOI for each program. How should my agency decide which area to apply under? Agencies should seek funding for programs in which they believe they can drive results. United Way encourages interested agencies to contact Community Impact staff if they have questions. Letters will be sent to currently funded partners with suggestions based on currently funded programs. My agency is a new 501(c)(3). Can we apply for United Way funding? Agencies must demonstrate at least a three-year history of providing the service for which they seek funding. Can our agency set its own outcome measures? No. Outcome measures are predefined for each area (Basic Needs, Priority Goals, Priority Neighborhoods), which allows United Way and its partners to aggregate data. We encourage all agencies to carefully read over the Results Based Accountability (RBA) framework to ensure their program fits within the correct funding area. Can the predefined data requirements be modified to better fit our program? No. Programs must report on the predefined data sets as outlined in the NOFO. Will our program have to collect, track and report on client-level outcomes? Yes. Your agency is required to maintain a client management system for tracking and assessing clientlevel outcomes based on your program s services. What if my program cannot deliver an entire strategy but can deliver a strategy component? United Way encourages any agency whose program is not comprehensive enough to deliver an entire strategy to collaborate/partner with another agency in the application process to implement the strategy. A formal memorandum of agreement between the two organizations will constitute evidence of the partnership. How will agencies be notified of successful prequalification? The top executive or organization s application lead will be contacted by . How many times per year will the agency be required to report to United Way? Twice. There will be both a mid-year report and an endof-year report. 18

19 Will our agency have to apply for funding every year? Funding contracts cover two years from the start date of the agreement. United Way volunteers will review outcomes and finances annually. United Way reserves the right to extend contracts for additional years. The actual amount and timing of payments is dependent upon: Program compliance and outcomes Success of annual United Way fundraising campaigns Will United Way continue to allow donors to designate their pledges to specific agencies? Although United Way encourages donations to the Community Impact Fund to support United Way s broad community goals, designations will still be allowed to health and human-services organizations. What research has gone in to United Way s decision to change its funding process and philosophy? United Way sought best practices from United Way organizations across the United States. These learnings have shown this model to be a highly effective funding strategy. Who should I contact for assistance with e-cimpact to set up an agency password? There will be mandatory e-cimpact workshops for all agencies seeking funding. Once completed, your agency will receive its password.
