LETTER FROM THE<br />
BOARD CHAIR<br />
Dear Friend <strong>of</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong><br />
<strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> is a special place. The people and businesses are incredibly generous, but they are also<br />
savvy. They want to know that they are making a smart investment and that every dollar donated to<br />
<strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> is going to help people. Thanks to the unparalleled support <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Cornerstone Partners, 100% <strong>of</strong> any donation to <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> is indeed, helping people.<br />
The generosity <strong>of</strong> this elite group <strong>of</strong> businesses and foundations pays for administrative and fundraising<br />
costs.<br />
<strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> investments are yielding results. <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> continues to foster collaboration<br />
and mutual support among the many agencies in our area. We encourage them to unify their efforts to<br />
provide outcome-based, client supportive programs that are more cost effective. The Champions Program<br />
is a perfect example. It brings numerous agencies together to foster self-sufficiency, and in doing so it<br />
capitalizes on the strengths <strong>of</strong> the involved agencies and better meets the needs <strong>of</strong> struggling families in<br />
our community.<br />
More results like this will be possible in the future thanks to continued collaborative work and our tireless<br />
campaign volunteers helping the community understand the importance <strong>of</strong> individual donors uniting<br />
together to meet pressing needs that cannot be met individually.<br />
Thank you for helping create a better community for all <strong>of</strong> us. Creating lasting change in this community<br />
would not be possible without the generous support <strong>of</strong> our donors, volunteers and community partners.<br />
I urge you to make a personal commitment to LIVE UNITED. I know with your help our communities can<br />
be better than we ever imagined.<br />
GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER.<br />

CORNERSTONE<br />
PARTNER PROGRAM<br />
What is a Cornerstone Partner?<br />
Cornerstone Partners are companies and<br />
foundations who choose to direct all or a<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> their corporate contributions to<br />
administrative and fundraising expenses.<br />
Partnership requirements include an annual<br />
gift valued at $5,000 or more which covers<br />
the cost portion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> budget.<br />
The gift can be cash or in-kind. In-kind<br />
donations must replace an operating<br />
expense. In 2007, 16 companies partnered<br />
with <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> to become the founding<br />
Cornerstone Partners.<br />
This special recognition program ensures<br />
that money donated by individuals goes to<br />
help people. <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> does have administrative<br />
and fund raising costs. By extensively<br />
using volunteers, we are proud to<br />
report that our administrative and fundraising<br />
cost is 16% and is among the lowest <strong>of</strong><br />
most major charities and agencies in our<br />
county. Each year, Cornerstone partnerships<br />
lower this cost.<br />
Individuals donating in 2009-10 will be<br />
assured that when they designate to the<br />
Community Care Fund or one <strong>of</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
<strong>Way</strong>’s Five Action Areas, 100% <strong>of</strong> their gift<br />
will go to help people in our county.<br />

Ready to Learn...Promises for Children: Prenatal Care,<br />
Parent Support, School Readiness, Quality Child Care<br />
The early years in a child's life lays the foundation for future<br />
life success. Eighty five percent <strong>of</strong> the human brain is formed<br />
by the age <strong>of</strong> three. Yet many <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong>'s children do not<br />
get a good start in life. Pre-natal health, access to health care,<br />
positive brain development, quality early childhood education;<br />
parental support, education and training are essential to help<br />
assure all children have the foundation they need and are ready<br />
for school.<br />

Quality Child Care<br />
Prenatal Care<br />
Parent Support and Education<br />
Results so far:<br />
Bright Beginnings volunteers and staff made visits to over 1,300<br />
newborns and toddlers up to age 3. Their parents received vital<br />
information and community resources to help assure they reach their<br />
highest potential<br />
<strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong>’s Promises for Children facilitated three Family Literacy<br />
Carnivals and two Parent Education Symposiums which impacted<br />
over 700 families throughout <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Training and technical assistance was provided to nearly 1,000 child<br />
care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals through monthly opportunities and the annual<br />
Love to Learn Child Care Conference. Our information on health,<br />
nutrition, safety, educational best practices, developmentally<br />
effective approaches, child growth and development received ratings<br />
<strong>of</strong> good to excellent by attending child care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
904 low income pregnant women received pre-natal care services.<br />
98% <strong>of</strong> these women enrolled in health care coverage programs and<br />
followed through with their health care appointments during their<br />
first trimester<br />
How our work continues:<br />
We will work to create stronger partnerships between child care<br />
providers, elementary schools and parents to ensure children have a<br />
comfortable and happy experience when they start kindergarten<br />
We will increase community awareness about the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
prenatal health and its correlation to positive brain development<br />
We will continue to get information to parents regarding community<br />
resources to give their children the best start in life

Keeping Youth on Track<br />
Supporting Increased Graduation Rates<br />
Results so far:<br />
Thanks to a grant through our partnership with the <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Human Services we distributed over $50,000 worth<br />
<strong>of</strong> school supplies to low income children in <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> to assure<br />
they had the tools to be successful in school<br />
50 at risk/drop-out students graduated with a high school diploma<br />
thanks to our partnership with the Aims Community College High<br />
School Diploma Program. This was a 100% success rate<br />
441 youth were enrolled in a Truancy Intervention Program at the<br />
<strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> Juvenile Assessment Center. 251 <strong>of</strong> these students<br />
improved attendance and advanced to the next grade level. Eight<br />
received their GED and two graduated from high school<br />
87 at risk youth received school based support services from North<br />
Range Behavioral Health. All <strong>of</strong> the students with suspension<br />
concerns were able to resolve their issues in the 2008-09 academic<br />
year<br />
All 564 students who participated in the RSVP “America Reads”<br />
program showed improved reading scores<br />
How our work continues:<br />
We will collaborate with organizations, from the private, government<br />
and non pr<strong>of</strong>it sectors, to ensure all school-age children have the<br />
opportunity to attend high quality Before/After School programs<br />
in our community<br />
We will work together with appropriate groups to expand opportunities<br />
for youth service providers, to ensure that more youth are<br />
developing the necessary skills to be fully prepared to enter college,<br />
the work force and successful adulthood<br />

Ready to Succeed...Keeping Youth on Track and Supporting<br />
Increased Graduation Rates<br />
Staying in school and graduating is an essential step in helping<br />
assure a person's ability to be a contributing member <strong>of</strong> our<br />
community. The number <strong>of</strong> youth who do not graduate from<br />
high school is staggering. Youth who participate in quality<br />
after school programs, have positive role models in their lives,<br />
encouraging parental support and those who access services<br />
that keep them on a positive track have a greater chance <strong>of</strong><br />
graduating and becoming productive citizens.<br />

Ready to Live...Financial Stability and Self Sufficiency<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> families who find themselves unable to pay for<br />
basic needs month after month in our community is significant.<br />
It 's difficult for many families to make ends meet and get<br />
themselves out <strong>of</strong> poverty and crisis. There are not easy<br />
answers or solutions. A comprehensive multi-faceted approach<br />
is needed and long term strategies need to be developed.<br />

and self reliance in turn makes our community stronger.<br />

Basic Needs Services<br />
Life can present challenges that are impossible to handle on<br />
one's own. Whether struck with an illness or disease; a mishap<br />
or misfortune; by situation or circumstance, from time to time<br />
people need a helping hand through times <strong>of</strong> crisis. A safety<br />
net <strong>of</strong> health and human services are needed in our community<br />
to respond and help vulnerable populations. Assistance with<br />
services such as food, shelter, basic needs, health care, transportation<br />
and support for victims <strong>of</strong> domestic violence, child<br />
abuse and crimes are needed. The elderly, disabled and challenged<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten just need a helping hand.<br />

Asking for help and knowing how to access health and human<br />
services can be difficult. Today people who never needed help<br />
before find themselves overwhelmed and not sure where to<br />
turn. It can be as simple as needing child care so you can go<br />
to work or an after school program for your youngster or as<br />
complicated as loosing a job and facing a potential foreclosure<br />
on your home. During times <strong>of</strong> disaster our community needs a<br />
way to help people with their non-emergency request and to<br />
direct volunteers and donors who want to help, thus enabling<br />
our 9-1-1, first responders and emergency pr<strong>of</strong>essionals to concentrate<br />
on the emergency. Helping people access services is<br />
our important and ongoing first step.<br />

LETTER FROM THE<br />
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
This is what <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong> has been addressing for the last several years. We have always<br />
had great narrative evidence, wonderful stories about <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong>’s impact in the community – stories <strong>of</strong><br />
people being helped when they’ve lost their home, needed food, clothing and/or shelter, needed a safe<br />
haven or counseling and more. We’ve accumulated statistics on people served or services provided.<br />
However, we had no objective way to show that we were making a measurable difference in the lives <strong>of</strong><br />
people being served, in addressing the underlying cause <strong>of</strong> their needs or in achieving positive sustainable<br />
change in community conditions. We needed numbers, evidence to show whether or not we were<br />
impacting our community.<br />
In 2005 we began implementing a strategic plan designed to move us toward a <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> model that<br />
would result in identified and measurable community impact. A major element <strong>of</strong> this plan was to assist<br />
our grantee agencies and collaborative partners in developing desired outcomes, or results, <strong>of</strong> their work<br />
and ways to measure the success in achieving those results. Because <strong>of</strong> the commitment, expertise and<br />
hard work <strong>of</strong> many volunteers and staff, not only <strong>of</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weld</strong> <strong>County</strong>, but also <strong>of</strong> our grantee<br />
agencies and community partners, we are well on our way to having those outcomes and measures developed.<br />
Please notice that I included “hard work” in describing what was necessary to achieve this goal.<br />
We may develop goals, visions and dreams <strong>of</strong> what might be, but much more is required to bring it to<br />
reality. That “much more” is the time and effort that must be expended to achieve the desired results.<br />
And we do, indeed, appreciate the support <strong>of</strong> our community. The journey toward community impact continues.<br />
