General Comments: CIP Panel Feedback and Recognition Event 6/15/15 Amazing to see how much good work that is being done in our community Excited about the future of the program Because the process is clear and rigorous I think the chance that this money is doing something useful is very high Because of things like follow through What Worked: This was a rigorous and impressive process Applicants were required to think through things to help applicants become stronger organizations Great people - amazed with how groups worked together Interviews were so helpful, could ask the questions that we wanted to know 15 minutes was a good length of time, too Forced pair process? What could help us improve the process: We need to help the people that are applying United Way help them to articulate higher goals in their application - so that they can be a part of something that has a broader community impact How we work the recommendation of the amount - there is no real guideline for how to make the recommendation How do you compare what they asked for vs what they really need EITHER allocate what a panel has to give out/work with, can be a proportion of the total amount of what was requested Panel is making a determination based on dollar amounts OR Not make any recommendation on dollar amount, and then make the CIP make the final call Let the rankings lie without an amount OR alternative - assign a target amount to each group, would allow panels to go deeper "I don't know anyone who recommends a budget without knowing what they have to work with" "I didn't want to know how much money was available because I wanted it to be based on deserving" Might be an opportunity to find a volunteer skilled in grant writing that would be willing to offer two or three seminars about synthesizing material, help those smaller agencies position themselves to compete with the ''big guys" Need more money! Going to try and get parody between United Way and other organizations involved I think we could also work on educating people on Thurston Thrives - missing the boat on connecting it How can we make this process have a bigger impact - money for programs or money for results Prevention or crisis based programs, more clarity, challenge to pick between prevention or O:\SOCSVS_CHP\Housing & Community Renewal\MONTHLY MEETINGS\CIP_Community Investment Partnership Steering Comm\Retreat 29

immediate need Should we in our next iteration, make it so a percent goes to crisis, a percent goes to evidence based practice, etc. Add innovations bonus - innovative program, might not work Need to structure this where it rewards risk and innovation Most impact: we specify the criteria - this is what we want to see, if you can do it you're going to get the funding In the application - this is what we are trying to result, this is how you are going to get funding Might cause conflict where someone who really needs the money that would manipulate their application to get what they need Community members: This is the same old same old, CYS gets all the money, and how do other organizations get to that level Caught between maintaining a solid organization, and how to spread the wealth (Would like to do this with bigger money, would be able to do something different and serve as a good way to take that on) Is our purpose with this funding, to fund sustaining organizations, are we keeping organizations alive? That's how organizations see it "we have to get our X amount from United Way" Disagree: It's the results and what they end up doing is what we look at in the end, looking at the program Could also get training on how to share your story If it's not the biggest story is our funding still worthwhile? 'What would you like to know from the agencies that were funded last year? Tell us a real life story - how did it make a difference, not just about the data If we start asking for more story-telling, we'll get it -have to connect it to our logic model What did they not accomplish, what are they not telling us Is there a tweak in the system where we can make results that we've never heard of before Open to blowing up the whole process if our purpose is to make community results Could we give 100,000 to each Thurston thrives hub and have them tell us what needs are greatest? Portland model? Why aren't organizations partnering, there are so many opportunities! Don't like the section in the application about partnering Would like to see that section re-amped Put together a project where you work together Opportunity to make a volunteer available for being the story teller for your organization O:\SOCSVS_CHP\Housing & Community Renewal\MONTHLY MEETINGS\CIP_Community Investment Partnership Steering Comm\Retreat 30

CIP Options -- DRAFT 2016-17 Funding Round August 2015 These are thoughts following our July CIP meeting that attempt to frame up some the ideas and options discussed to better focus our CIP funding toward innovate solutions to priority and opportunistic community needs. Ideal Revenue Conditions $450K UWTC $450K HHSC/Local Government Total: $900,000 Consider two year funding commitment (with exit caveat to cover uncertainty) Option One $600K General Funding RFP for three existing goal areas $300K Collaborative Projects RFP for up to three targeted community solutions o Use Portland model to include training and coordination support for key staff from engaged agencies to bolster success o Use purchased outcome approach to specify desired results o Seek to leverage funding from sources such as school districts, criminal justice, etc. Option Two Take entire RFP and direct it to targeted, priority purchased outcomes that fall under existing goal areas. Examples could include: o Engage vulnerable students in community partnerships with schools that improve student outcomes Demonstrate improvement in student success indicators in targeted school communities over 2 year period Seek intergenerational partnerships with students and seniors Engage students in community service and intern experiences o Fund partnerships that better align food and meal programs with other needed services to improve client conditions over 2 year period o Leverage other private and public funds to support day services and health clinic in Olympia 56
