funding philosophy<br />
The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> will consider funding programs and<br />
services that meet the intent of our Funding Philosophy.<br />
Funds will be allocated to support local human care<br />
needs through programs and services in the City of<br />
Kingston and the Counties of Frontenac, Lennox and<br />
Addington.<br />
Recognizing the uniqueness of the communities in the<br />
area we serve, your <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> will strategically invest<br />
in services that ...<br />
will enhance the capacity of people to both care for<br />
themselves and for one another<br />
give people the opportunity to have input into decisions<br />
that affect them<br />
are accountable, inclusive, responsive to the needs<br />
of the community, and eliminate barriers that prevent<br />
people from accessing services<br />

strengthening communities and individuals of all ages<br />

sense of belonging
message from the<br />
board chair<br />
As my year as Chair of the Board of Directors of the <strong>United</strong><br />
<strong>Way</strong>, serving Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington<br />
comes to a close I look back and reflect on how fortunate I<br />
am to be able to volunteer with such a wonderful organization<br />
as our <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong>.<br />
As a community we celebrated a fourth consecutive<br />
successful campaign, this one pushing us over the 2 million-dollar<br />
mark in contributions. What an incredible milestone!<br />
On behalf of the board of directors, sincere thanks to Glen<br />
Wood and his cabinet, the many community volunteers, our<br />
tireless <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> staff, as well as all our contributors.<br />
Our increased campaign revenues translated to many existing<br />
agencies receiving much needed additional funding, and<br />
the introduction of several new member agencies under the<br />
<strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> umbrella. <strong>Way</strong> to Go, Kingston!<br />
As a board, we also supported two exciting new initiatives<br />
that strengthen our commitment to community capacity<br />
building. Success By 6 supports services for children from<br />
birth to age six, their parents and caregivers. 211 is the<br />
new 3 digit phone number that will connect community residents<br />
with government and social services.<br />
It has been an honour and a privilege to chair the Board<br />
through this past year and I look forward to a continued<br />
relationship in the years to come. There is nothing more<br />
worthwhile than volunteering and more so when one is<br />
associated with an organization that is so successful in its<br />
commitment to enhancing the organized capacity of our<br />
community to care for one another.<br />

message from the<br />
president<br />
Working for the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> in KFL&A is both a privilege and a<br />
huge responsibility. It's a privilege because I get to work with the<br />
most amazing team of volunteers and staff, knowing that we make<br />
a difference every day of the year. It's a huge responsibility<br />
because the mission of the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> is such an extensive one -<br />
helping to build the capacity of a community. We do this through<br />
fundraising, community building and supporting the voluntary sector<br />
in many ways.<br />
The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> continues to grow. This year, we raised over 2<br />
million dollars, a significant milestone in our community's history.<br />
Thanks to a caring and generous community, we have seen significant<br />
growth, a 38% increase over a four-year period. Glen Wood,<br />
<strong>2002</strong> Campaign Chair, and his team of community volunteers<br />
cheerfully took our campaign to its highest level yet.<br />
We are fortunate, in this community, to have a dedicated group of<br />
volunteers who put in many hours reviewing our funding applications.<br />
They invest time and emotion to make recommendations<br />
that will strengthen our network of services.<br />
As our community's needs change, our <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> has responded.<br />
We’ve expanded our support to include agencies that provide critical<br />
services to the homeless, youth in crisis, the hungry, those in<br />
need and many people who occasionally need a hand up.<br />
In <strong>2002</strong>, we started working on Success By 6, a <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> initiative<br />
that supports services for children 0-6 years, their parents and<br />
caregivers. As we all know, anything we can do to facilitate early<br />
development will benefit our community in the future.<br />
We will also be working this year on 211 - providing an easy to<br />
recall 3 digit number with trained referral agents, who will connect<br />
community residents with government and social services.<br />
I'd like to thank our Board Chair, Valerie Mallen, our Board of<br />
Directors for their leadership, our campaign and allocations volunteers<br />
for their enthusiasm and commitment, our community agencies<br />
for their hard work and dedication and, last but not least, our<br />
tireless overworked staff who are an inspiration to me. Thank you!<br />

message from the<br />
<strong>2002</strong> campaign<br />
cabinet chair<br />
The <strong>2002</strong> Campaign was a resounding success! The<br />
$2,030,000 donated will sustain and grow the many<br />
programs so necessary to our community.<br />
There are many reasons for our achievement:<br />
A wonderful cabinet - "the dream team"<br />
Five loaned representatives<br />
An experienced, energetic, committed staff<br />
Enthusiastic, engaged, supported volunteers<br />
Full support of organizations and media<br />
A caring community<br />
We built on the success of the campaigns that went<br />
before us - the leadership, the positive energy, the<br />
growth in every category. We engaged the expertise<br />
of other communities. We made a plan and we executed!<br />
I am honoured to have been associated with this wonderful<br />
group of people, who together, delivered such<br />
remarkable results. I am proud of their contribution to<br />
our community and I truly believe we have grown the<br />
platform for future successes.<br />
Thank you Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and<br />

message from the<br />
treasurer<br />
It has been a banner year for the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> and it has<br />
been a pleasure serving as treasurer with such a dynamic<br />
and enthusiastic team of staff and volunteers. Our results<br />
this year are tangible evidence of that enthusiasm.<br />
We again have made great progress not only in Campaign<br />
results but getting more of these dollars to work in the community.<br />
While we are marginally in excess of our budgeted<br />
expenses, the board made conscious decisions to provide<br />
seed money to increase capacity in the community through a<br />
number of new initiatives, such as 211 and Success By 6. To<br />
this end we utilized a small portion of our contingency to<br />
fund these worthwhile programs.<br />
Great care is taken for financial planning and following up to<br />
reduce pledge loss; so that all pledges made that are available<br />
for collection get collected.<br />
We have been able to increase allocations yet again this year<br />
to member and non-member agencies while still maintaining<br />
a strong operation with as little expense as possible.<br />
Thanks to the staff, volunteers and a very caring community<br />
for an outstanding year and we look forward to another successful<br />
year in 2003.<br />

Success By 6<br />
of KFL&A<br />
Success By 6 is a <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> co-ordinated initiative<br />
dedicated to giving children ages 0-6 the foundation<br />
they need to get a good start in life. It recognizes the<br />
importance of taking care of young children and making<br />
them a priority.<br />
The Success By 6 Council of Partners and Committees<br />
include representatives from private businesses, government,<br />
religious groups, educators, neighbours and<br />
parents. Together, these community representatives<br />
are combining resources and developing key strategies<br />
to invest in our children.<br />
Recent brain research proves what we have known all<br />
along: that every child needs a safe, nurturing environment<br />
filled with stimulation and interaction to grow<br />
into a confident and productive adult.<br />
We know that when children receive the right nutrition,<br />
nurturing and care in the first six years, the results can<br />
be tremendous. As they grow into healthy teens and<br />
adults, they are less likely to drop out of school, use<br />
drugs, have health problems or become involved in<br />
crime. $1 invested early in prevention programs will<br />
save our community $6-7 in intervention programs.<br />
Success By 6 brings together the people who care<br />
about children the most. It’s a team effort that’s<br />
important to our community’s health, an excellent<br />
long-term investment in our future and a way to contribute<br />
to the development of a child.<br />
Together, we can help all children<br />
succeed for life.<br />

message from<br />
labour<br />
The Kingston District Labour Council congratulates Glen Wood,<br />
his many volunteers and the staff of The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> on this<br />
year's successful campaign. We feel that Glen has truly earned<br />
his title of "The Two Million Dollar Man". Special thanks go to<br />
our Labour Liaison on the cabinet Bruce Elder.<br />
Labour programs have been implemented again with the addition<br />
to the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> Staff of a new Labour Staff<br />
Representative. Darlene Medhurst was hired last May and has<br />
been working hard on updating union contacts throughout our<br />
area, working on her first campaign, recruiting labour volunteers<br />
for committees and starting the Union Counselling<br />
Program. Darlene has been a long time union activist in CUPE<br />
(Canadian Union of Public Employees) and comes to us with a<br />
lot of knowledge and experience. As a result of her work the<br />
Union donations for the last campaign increased substantially<br />
and she tells me that she has even greater plans for this year.<br />
The Labour and Community Services Committee has met at<br />
regular intervals all year planning strategies for the campaign<br />
and giving support to the cabinet and staff.<br />
I want to mention that Glen, Darlene and myself completed a<br />
tour of all 31 <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> agencies which was a very rewarding<br />
experience. I encourage everyone, if they have a chance, to<br />
visit an agency and see firsthand the great work that is being<br />
done in our community with your <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> dollars.<br />
In closing, I want to say the labour community is looking forward<br />
to this years campaign and I know that together we can<br />
make it a success.<br />
