Mission<br />

Together, improving lives and building a stronger community.<br />

ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD<br />

We come from different places. We come to different conclusions.<br />

But underneath it all, we share a passion for reducing poverty in<br />

Erie County and improving the human condition. When we LIVE<br />

UNITED, we can create real, lasting change in the building blocks<br />

of life: the education, income and health of our neighborhoods,<br />

our families, even the person next to us.<br />

Statement of Activities 30

Dear Supporters:<br />

Imagination. It was a critical component last year when we laid out our bold vision to<br />

reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency in Erie County by 2025. We invited all of<br />

you to imagine how much better our community could be if there were 10,000 more<br />

local families able to meet their basic needs without any form of public or private<br />

assistance.<br />

Last year, we began laying the tracks toward making that dream a reality. We have<br />

worked diligently with volunteers and experts in the field to set clear, measurable<br />

goals that will help us meet the challenge we set last year: to help 10,000 more local<br />

families become self-sufficient by 2025. We know that everyone in our community<br />

will be better off when we advance the common good.<br />

And you have clearly shown to us that you approve of this new direction. Thanks to<br />

your passion and generosity, we raised over $6.1 million dollars during our 2012-13<br />

Campaign, making it our largest fundraising campaign ever! Thank you so much for<br />

providing us with the resources needed to transform our community. However, it will<br />

take more than money to achieve change.<br />

Now we ask you to imagine with us once again. We are thrilled to have partnered<br />

with The Erie Community Foundation and others to bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination<br />

Library to Erie County. This game-changing program has achieved amazing results in<br />

hundreds of other communities across the country, and we know it will do the same<br />

here. In just the first three months, we signed up more than 5,000 children in Erie<br />

County, giving us a great start down our path to success!<br />

Over the next few pages, you will learn what we have accomplished during the past<br />

year, and what we plan to accomplish in the year to come. Together, our collective<br />

impact can turn a bright future from imagination to reality. That’s what can happen<br />

when we LIVE UNITED.<br />

U N I T<br />

United Way’s work goes well beyond our historical role of funding strong nonprofit partners. Today we<br />

are mobilizing all our assets: funding, volunteers, legislative advocacy, technology, in-kind resources<br />

and corporate partnerships to deliver transformative, measurable results.<br />

LIVE UNITED 2025 is United Way of Erie County’s long-term vision to transform our region. Our goal is<br />

ambitious: to reduce the number of families struggling to meet their basic needs by one-third by 2025.<br />

That’s 10,000 more self-sufficient families in our community.<br />

By connecting families to the building blocks of economic stability - Education, Income, and Health -<br />

United Way and our partners will ensure people have the tools they need to thrive.<br />

GIVE<br />

United Way funds programs and initiatives in<br />

more than 20 boroughs, cities, municipalities<br />

and townships in Erie County.<br />

$6.1 million<br />

invested by over 13,000 donors<br />

Nearly 100,000 lives in Erie County are improved each<br />

year by United Way-funded programs and initiatives.<br />

United Way’s newest initiative - Dolly Parton’s<br />

Imagination Library - is open to every single<br />

child in Erie County under the age of<br />

five, regardless of household income.<br />

ADVOCATE<br />

With our focus on reducing poverty, United Way has a key role to play in advocating for issues<br />

surrounding Education, Income and Health. We are working to inform the community about the<br />

relationship between these issues and our goal to reduce poverty.<br />

25% 4X $800,000 16,066<br />

A child’s IQ can be increased by<br />

as much as 25% when his/her<br />

mind is properly stimulated prior<br />

to age 5<br />

A child who cannot read on<br />

grade level by 3rd grade is<br />

four times more likely to<br />

drop out of school<br />

For each student we prevent<br />

from dropping out of school,<br />

we save the community<br />

An EDUCATION Success story...<br />

“Lauren” was a youth in need of after school supervision. She struggled in school and had behavioral<br />

difficulties within her community and educational environment. Thanks to a United Way-funded program,<br />

Lauren was provided with a safe space to work on homework, receive a hot meal, and develop life skills. As<br />

Lauren’s self-confidence increased, she began to work harder in school and explored a multitude of career<br />

paths.<br />

Once Lauren reached high school, she began volunteering to work with youth who had experienced similar<br />

lifestyles. After Lauren graduated from high school, she eventually landed a full-time job in the Erie community,<br />

where she still continues to volunteer to help others learn, grow, and reach their full potential.<br />

“Lauren” was just one of the thousands of children and youth who were helped by United Way last year. United Way<br />

funds more than 20 different programs and initatives working to end the cycle of poverty by preparing more children<br />

to graduate from high school on time and with the skills necessary to succeed in education beyond high school.<br />

An INCOME Success story...<br />

When “Jill’s” husband died unexpectedly, she was not financially prepared for the sudden loss of income.<br />

Jill had been using her credit cards to finance ongoing expenses and had maxed them out. She desperately<br />

needed assistance, as she was being sued by the plumber, was behind on her taxes, and was in danger of<br />

losing her home. Jill went to financial education classes funded by United Way. The counselor was able to<br />

help Jill restructure her debt so that she could pay off her bills.<br />

She enrolled in a financial literacy class designed to help her set and reach a financial savings goal. When<br />

E D 2 0 2 5<br />

Jill reached that goal, she was able to completely pay off past debt. Jill also brought her children to classes<br />

as part of the process so that they, too, could learn good financial habits. She and her children now live<br />

within their means and are self-sufficient, all thanks to this program that was made possible through<br />

United Way funding.<br />

United Way is focused on helping 9,999 more families like “Jill’s” reach self-sufficiency, so they can meet their basic<br />

needs without any form of public of private assistance. In addition to funding a variety of programs and initiatives,<br />

United Way of Erie County also worked hard to successfully advocate in opposition to legislation that would allow the<br />

reintroduction of the payday lending industry in Pennsylvania. These payday lenders offer predatory financial products<br />

that trap low-income families in an inescapable cycle of debt.<br />

A HEALTH Success story...<br />

“Alan” experienced severe burns after an explosion in his home and his injuries required extensive medical<br />

attention. He had been recently unemployed and did not have health insurance at the time of this explosion.<br />

Upon his return home, Alan learned that he was about to be evicted.<br />

Through programs funded by United Way, a social worker was assigned to assist Alan in obtaining insurance<br />

and accessing resources for food and shelter. He received extensive care from registered nurses and learned<br />

to independently care for himself. Eventually, Alan was able to remain in his home and return to a higher<br />

level of functioning.<br />

More than 25,000 other men, women and children in Erie County received help like “Alan” through United Way’s<br />

funding of various Health programs and initiatives. This funding is designed to encourage preemptive healthcare<br />

while also offering support to individuals in crisis situations that often can lead to them to fall into poverty.<br />

2013 Annual Report | 7

community buildin<br />

We earn your trust through the transparent way we operate our organization, as evidenced by<br />

meeting and exceeding national standards for governance and financial accountability, as well as<br />

our volunteer-based method of allocating and disbursing funds to meet community needs.<br />

Every program that receives funding from<br />

United Way is tracked throughout a threeyear<br />

funding cycle to ensure ongoing<br />

success in achieving desired outcomes.<br />

None of this would be possible without<br />

the dedication and hard work of our many<br />

Community Building volunteers. Whether<br />

they served on an allocations panel or as<br />

a member of one of our Impact Councils,<br />

these men and women are helping ensure<br />

United Way of Erie County’s resources<br />

are aimed at improving the most lives<br />

and effectively addressing poverty in our<br />

community.<br />

“I really like the way that United Way has focused on<br />

reducing poverty in Erie County. Their goal to make<br />

more families self-sufficient will benefit not only those<br />

families, but our entire community; and that is very<br />

important to me, providing a safe and conducive<br />

environment to bring up the future generation.”<br />
