2008 Annual Report to the community
GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER.
president’s message Dear Friends, Aloha United Way’s mission is to improve lives, motivate people to help others, increase resources to meet needs and inspire collective solutions to community problems. Last year, we asked you to LIVE UNITED by giving, advocating and volunteering. You showed us that LIVING UNITED is a way of life. It’s about caring for our island community, treating others with respect and helping all of us make a better life. As we celebrate 90 years of working together to build a stronger community, we would like to acknowledge the generosity of our donors, the leadership of our board and our partnerships with many great agencies. Since 1919, we have raised over $582 million. Because of all of you, we have been able to produce meaningful improvements within our community for 90 years. We continue to seek to give everyone the building blocks for a good life – education, income and health. To see what we and our partners are doing, please visit our website at auw.org. We know that this year is going to be a challenging year and that Aloha United Way is needed now more than ever to respond to the growing needs of our community. There has already been a significant increase in calls to 2-1-1, our information and referral service, regarding a need for life’s day-to-day essentials such as food, shelter and medical care. If Aloha United Way is needed now more than ever, then the same can be said for you, our donors, volunteers and partner agencies. We need to continue to work together to weather this economic storm and to help provide hope to those who need it the most. Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all people. Connected, interdependent, united. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED. Thank you for all you do,
Susan Au Doyle
2008 and beyond—at a glance It’s all thanks to you. Together, last year with the help of 5,000 volunteers in the campaign, 93,000 donors like you selflessly gave of your time and monies to Aloha United Way and diligently raised nearly $17 million in our general and federal employee campaigns. This is an incredible effort that helps thousands and thousands of our families, neighbors and friends. 86 partner agencies, 64 neighbor island agencies and another 117 community support agencies banded together and took part in the general campaign. 150 local charities also participated in the federal campaign. Through our Volunteer Hawaii program, 7,000 people took time out of their busy schedules to volunteer to make our community a better place. Over $1 million in gifts-in-kind were distributed to community agencies, providing much needed items and wares to the agencies and their clients. Through our partners in the Earned Income Tax Credit area, we were able to support those who filed through our free tax sites. Since 2005, a total of about $8 million has been received in refunds including the EITC and Child Tax Credit. Last year we helped 41,000 people find the help they need through 2-1-1, our information and referral service. Throughout 2008, our Impact Councils, consisting of community volunteers from both the public and private sectors met and considered our communities most difficult challenges. As a result, this year Aloha United Way was able to initiate its new funding strategy in three of our priority areas – early childhood development, financial stability and independence and emergency and crisis services – investing $1.5 million in targeted funds to make a difference in a variety of areas including developmental screening for preschoolers, emergency food and job training. An additional $12.6 million in designated and undesignated monies will be distributed to participating agencies. We know that this will be a challenging year, but we believe in you. We believe in the power of a small group of people to make things happen, to move mountains and to create positive change in our community. For those who have been part of this ongoing movement in our community, we thank you. For those who haven’t and who want to change things for the better, we’re inviting you to join us. We’ve only just begun. As we celebrate 90 years, we eagerly anticipate 90 more of empowering individuals and groups to take action to facilitate change right here in our community. We thank you all, and look forward to your continued participation with us as we seek to Live United on behalf of a better community!

advocate. champion the cause. While there are many issues facing our community today, Aloha United Way knows that we do not have the resources to address all of them. Through community conversations and polling, the community identified five issues of most concern, where we could make the largest impact in sustaining a healthy island community. These impact issues include emergency and crisis services; early childhood education; financial stability and independence; homelessness; and crime and drug use. In order to ensure that your donations are invested wisely and make the greatest impact on our community, Impact Councils were developed to manage each one of Aloha United Way’s five issue areas. An Impact Council recommends funding decisions for their issue area to Aloha United Way’s Community Building Committee and our Board of Directors. The Impact Councils, which consist of community volunteers from all sectors, meet throughout the year and are responsible for: • Assessing the community’s needs in its issue area • Selecting goals to be achieved • Reviewing funding availability • Analyzing program outcomes • Weighing benefits and costs • Selecting which non-profit agencies best meet the needs for its issue area • Reviewing the performance of the selected agencies and making recommendations on multi-year funding renewals In 2008, the Impact Councils for early childhood development, emergency and crisis services and financial stability and independence convened. They reviewed 121 applications from local non-profit agencies. Of those 121 applications, 41 agencies will receive about $1.5 million in funding. We began distributing funds in January 2009 and we’ll continue that funding for three years. Results will be reported in September 2009 and will be available for view at auw.org. Below is a breakdown of the funding and the services provided: Early Childhood Development Goal: To ensure that every child in Hawaii will enter kindergarten with age appropriate language, literacy and social/emotional skills.

Society of Young Leaders Last year, Aloha United Way formed the Society of Young Leaders, a group of young professionals between the ages of 18-45 who are committed to strengthening our community through philanthropy and community caring. Our group has quickly grown from 20 members to 80+ members in one year, all of whom are dedicated to making a positive impact throughout our community. The Society of Young Leaders (SYL) has made significant strides to improve and strengthen our community. Members conducted successful drives to collect school supply items for homeless children and to collect much needed items for senior citizens. They also held a series of holiday parties for the homeless keiki at the Institute for Human Services which included a Halloween Spook-tacular event, a Christmas party and a Valentine’s Day party. In addition, SYL members donated their professional services to help transitioning homeless families educate themselves on legal matters and real estate issues. For more information, visit auw.org or call 536-1951 and ask for the Marketing Department.
