Program accomplishments

• Youth Opportunity: Helping Young People Realize Their Full Potential. Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. At United Way, we help children get off to a good start and empower youth to reach their full potential by breaking down barriers to success. We advance early childhood education, literacy development, access to a high-quality K-12 education, college and career readiness and family engagement - fostering a future where every young person can realize their dreams. Children who start kindergarten-ready and finish high school are more likely to have the skills required to be successful in post-secondary education, an increasingly complicated job market and society. Adults with higher education levels are more likely to gain employment with family-sustaining wages. Strategies: Childcare and Early Childhood Development 1. Increase access to high quality, culturally relevant early care and education experiences particularly for Black, Indigenous and Families of Color experiencing poverty. 2. Build caregivers (parents and early care and education teachers) understanding of healthy child development through family and community outreach (outside of childcare, i.e. home visiting). 3. Connections to community resources and programs: remove barriers to accessing family support services that allow families to access the resources and services they need to overcome the experience of poverty (collective impact). 4. Support/influence policy changes that will deepen early learning and development outcomes for children. Strategies: In School, After School and Summer Learning, Literacy Development, Family Engagement and College and Career Readiness (K-12) 1. Facilitate access to additional learning opportunities to enhance students' mastery of academic content. 2. Build students' social/emotional and non-cognitive skills. 3. Ensure students' behavioral health and wellness. 4. Foster connection, belonging, leadership and academic success with youth at risk of disconnecting. 5. Recognize family engagement as a key component to improve student successes and outcomes. Goals: Build family well-being by intentionally and simultaneously working with children under five and the adults in their lives together. All students succeed academically, and graduate high school prepared for higher education, career and community. Results: * 7,919 Dane County neighbors supported through Youth Opportunity programming * 196 Families reported improved parent-child interaction or increased knowledge about parenting * 1,379 elementary and middle school students improved social emotional skills * 427 high school students improved connection, belonging, leadership and/or academic success

• Financial Security: Building Financial Stability and Strength. At United Way, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live in an affordable, safe, stable home and for homeownership to be an achievable goal for every family. Our Family Homelessness and Affordable Housing strategies ensure that families can maintain housing and avoid evictions as they work toward financial security. Our Job Readiness & Workforce Development strategies help underemployed individuals gain full time employment at $18+/hour with benefits in order to achieve financial security. When more individuals have jobs earning family-sustaining wages and safe and affordable housing, they are less stressed and more able to provide for themselves and their families - better positioning our entire community and our economy to thrive. Strategies: Family Homelessness Prevention and Affordable Housing The Family Homelessness and Affordable Housing strategies ensure that families can maintain housing and avoid evictions as they work toward financial security. 1. Support Quality Case Management for families at risk of or experiencing instability in their housing. 2. Increase investments in Housing First Programs. 3. Invest in Eviction Prevention. 4.

• Healthy Community: Improving Health and Well-Being for All. United Way works closely with community members to help people overcome barriers to healthy living by working to reduce racial health disparities and increase resiliency and trauma supports - ensuring everyone has the opportunity to live their healthiest life. While Dane County remains a top place to live, raise a family and retire, for many neighbors, education, income and health inequities and disparities remain consistent. In Dane County, your race and the zip code in which you live have a significant impact on your quality of life, life expectancy and health outcomes. Strategies: Reduce Racial Health Disparities 1. Increase culturally relevant, reflective, and safe wellness models and programs defined and/or led by Black, Indigenous and People of Color. 2. Increase capacity in communities to address health disparities for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (example: invest in Fund Health Programs that are community- based and in which disparities are persistent). 3. Increase community-based health programs that address Black, Indigenous and People of Color. Advance clinic and community linkages to improve health access. 4. Increase patient and/or family information exchange with desire to expand current levels of linkage across the care coordination continuum. 5. Increase community-based maternal child health programming for Black, Indigenous and People of Color. Strategies: Increase Resiliency and Trauma Supports 1. Increase culturally safe and responsive trauma and resiliency programs (example: mental health programming) for Black, Indigenous and People of Color. 2. Cultural adaptation of behavioral or mental health intervention. 3. Embed culture brokers into care teams for individuals and families disengaged from mental health supports due to racism, power dynamics and distrust. Goal: A Dane County absent of racial health disparities in physical and mental health. Results: * 17,981 Dane County neighbors supported through Health Community programming * 534 People received health insurance through HealthConnect premium assistance program * 1,168 Participants served through youth and family mental health programming reported improved health outcomes * 1,036 Participants completed goals in programs designed to address racial health disparities

• Community Resiliency: Addressing Urgent Needs Today and Advancing a Better Tomorrow. Every community deserves the opportunity to prosper. Through initiatives in crisis response, such as 211 (24/7 access to resources and service coordination), volunteer activation, nonprofit capacity building and disaster response, we are strengthening the foundation of Dane County and working to build a resilient community ready for any challenge. When in crisis, it is challenging to know where to go for help. And, with so many opportunities to help, it is hard to know where to make the most impact. United Way understands the big picture and can mobilize resources that make a difference through 211, Volunteer Center and work as a convenor and social impact leader. When our community is hit with an emergency - like severe flooding, a global pandemic or man-made disaster - it's important to have a unifying force that brings us together to raise resources and rebuild an even stronger community. Strategies: 1. United Way 211 (24/7 access to resources and service coordination). 2. Volunteer activation. 3. Nonprofit capacity building. 4. Disaster response. Goals: Be a leader in social impact, connect people who need help with people who want to help in efficient and effective ways. Respond to community emergencies and assist in long-term recovery. Inspire individuals and families to get involved by developing meaningful community and corporate volunteer opportunities that build the nonprofit capacity of Dane County. Provide beyond the check support to strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem.
