His previous work includes the Tocqueville Leadership Awards, presented at the May 2022 Toast to Tocqueville event. Depicted in the illustrations are Bernard’s dreams for his community, the artist
want a community where the streets are clean and safe for everyone. A community free from war and racism, a place where everyone is equal. Another thing I really want is a place for kids to grow and have fun so they can one day make the world better. I want a community where every day is a beautiful day.
this book, we celebrate the accomplishments of United Way of Central Maryland made possible by your generous support. And we share how together, we can continue to create the positive social change that Bernard sees through his dreams and illustrations.

For 35 years, United Way of Central Maryland Tocqueville Society members have been a dedicated force for our region. As partners in change, we are champions for United Way, translating philanthropy into meaningful transformation for Central Maryland. We proudly stand among you, 532 Tocqueville members, who give generously, joyously, and strategically to United Way.
The impact of the Tocqueville Society is seen in the Family Centers where smiling faces light up the classrooms, the eviction prevention programs that keep our neighbors housed, the treatment courts that give our veterans the respect they so richly deserve, and so much more. We encourage you to connect others to the essential work of United Way and invite them to witness firsthand the transformational progress happening across this great region.
Our passion ignites progress, which paves the way for advancement and opportunity. You are the spark that powers something greater. Together, we create stronger communities, healthier families, and better lives. And we can’t thank you enough for your support.

Our 97 years of service to the people of Greater Baltimore have taught us what it takes to change our region for the better. We are proud to be a source of support, compassion, and hope for people who work hard but still can’t make ends meet. We strengthen families and communities increasing access to basic needs—health, housing, workforce development, education, and more.
United Way helps generous individuals discover how they can make a tangible difference for their fellow Marylanders. We track our efforts and continually adjust our strategies to better reflect why and how people give and what our region needs. Thanks to our extensive network of service providers, nonprofits, public partners, supporters, and volunteers, United Way is prepared like no other organization to translate philanthropy into meaningful, lasting impact. We have deep ties to our community and a true understanding of our region. When we combine this local know-how with the strength of a respected worldwide brand, there’s little we can’t accomplish.

United Way of Central Maryland promotes equity, creates opportunity, and improves lives.
Knowing you had our back during the pandemic has meant the world to us and the people we serve. We’re very grateful to you.
We are humbled by the trust our community, our funders, and our partners give to us, especially our Tocqueville Society members. For 35 years, you have been our strongest ambassadors, and like us, you believe addressing root causes of poverty and dismantling structural barriers for low-income communities—is a priority. By creating a new culture of empowerment supported by philanthropy, we can help people in our region to live their best lives.
Throughout our almost 100-year history, we have fought against inequity and injustice while working day and night to drive change and ensure everyone has access to basic needs. More recently, we have focused our efforts in a way that enables people to navigate their dreams and master their destinies.
The direction we are taking in the new fiscal year to support educational, racial, and earning equity for young men of color; reimagine the childcare field for both childcare providers and parents; and build talent pipelines for meaningful employment is exactly where we need to go.
I invite you to flip through this year’s Tocqueville Society book to celebrate the successes we’ve accomplished together and to learn about the new initiatives that will further demonstrate our commitment to equity and innovation. We are excited to share our innovative programmatic work with you as we move toward our 100th anniversary and into our second century of providing what’s needed where it’s needed. Thank you so very much for your continued support of United Way.

Endowment gifts may be in the current form—including cash, marketable securities, or real estate—or in deferred form—including trust, life insurance, retirement plan beneficiary designations, will bequests, or annuities.

Income tax laws encourage contributions to public charities like United Way by providing—within the tax code—income tax deductions for donors who itemize their federal tax returns.
Donors can make gifts at reduced costs. For example, if you make a cash contribution of $10,000 to United Way, you may claim a deduction of $10,000 on your income tax return. In this scenario, if you are in the 37% marginal income tax bracket, you will reduce your overall federal tax liability by $3,700.* In effect, you can give United Way $10,000 at a cost to you of $6,300.
If your gift was in appreciated stock as shown in the chart, with a cost basis of $3,000 (therefore a gain of $7,000), the cost to you would still be $6,300, which is more advantageous to you than selling the stock directly and paying the capital gains tax.

*There may be additional savings in avoiding Maryland state income tax. Charitable gifts are subject to the deduction limits set by the Internal Revenue Code. Any excess deductions can be carried over an additional five years. Additionally, charitable deductions are subject to the phaseout of itemized deductions for certain high-income taxpayers. This material is intended to be illustrative only; we encourage individuals to review their plans with their own tax counsel to ensure that their particular circumstances are fully considered when calculating the tax consequences of any charitable gift.
Donors might consider contributing to United Way via a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). This move allows IRA owners age 70 ½ or older to directly transfer up to $100,000 to charity each year. The QCD can count as some or all of the owner’s Required Minimum Distribution; the QCD amount won’t be included in adjusted gross income. You can make a QCD at 70 ½ even if you don’t begin taking Required Minimum Distributions until age 72. Whether from a 401(k), 403(b) or an IRA, the distribution is taxfree and must be paid directly to United Way from the account and cannot be first distributed to you. You should consult with your accountant or tax advisor for further direction on a QCD.
Alexis de Tocqueville admired three elements in North American society: liberty, equality, and the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor. These same elements are embraced in the French national motto: “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.”
Tocqueville believed that by achieving these elements of democracy, all people would choose to pursue freedom, knowledge, and prosperity, or indépendance, connaissance, and prospérité. Special orders of recognition have been created based on these concepts and distinguished by each member’s chosen level of giving:

The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, one of the largest private charitable foundations in the United States, is dedicated to meeting the basic needs of people experiencing poverty. In 2022, the Foundation expects to provide approximately $150 million in total grant activity supporting nonprofits that provide direct services in the areas of Housing, Health, Jobs, Education, and Community Services. Grants support organizations that serve a range of populations, including older adults, women at risk and their children, people with disabilities, veterans, as well as the Jewish community.
The Foundation administers the majority of its funding in its priority communities: Baltimore, Chicago, Hawaiʻi, Israel, New York City, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and San Francisco. This includes supporting nonprofits serving federally designated rural areas within or adjacent to these priority communities.

Since 1990, the Foundation has distributed grants totaling more than $2.7 billion.

Pete and Maria were about to be evicted after they both lost their jobs in the early months of the pandemic. They couldn’t go back to work fulltime to make ends meet while their two young children were in online schooling.
Just as they were getting back on track, the whole family contracted COVID and had to quarantine, putting them even further behind on rent. United Way’s STEP (Strategic Targeted Eviction Prevention) program was able to wipe their rent debt clean so they could focus on getting ahead in their lives.
United Way’s STEP program provides rental assistance to atrisk households in vulnerable communities by using data to identify priority zip codes or “hot spots” with high rates of COVID, evictions, and structural/racialized poverty. STEP quickly and efficiently distributes federal funds by bundling delinquent accounts for bulk eviction
prevention. Lump-sum payments are made directly to landlords that help as many as 100 households at once. Since its 2020 launch in Baltimore County, the STEP Program has expanded its reach to Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford, and Howard counties.
(Jan 2021–June 2022)
$64.2 million distributed to pay past-due rent and utilities for 7,586 households, including
• $4.3 million in CARES Act funds distributed January–February 2021
• $39.9 million in ERA-1 funds distributed July 2021–March 2022
*151 participating landlords representing 349 apartment communities and properties
$8,457 in rent and utility assistance provided on average to each household
Of the more than 15,983 program beneficiaries served, 54% were children
*This is only FY22 and is not cumulative of services provided during the pilot (JAN 2021)
90% agreed that the application process was easy and straightforward.
We’ve helped thousands of hard-working families just like this one, who fell behind on rent and became at risk of homelessness through no fault of their own. Learn more at uwcm.org/STEP
Nearly 80% learned about the STEP Program from their landlord.
“This made everything—EVERYTHING—better. I don’t have to break my back and arms and legs working 80 hours a week to pay the back rent.”
United Way’s Neighborhood Zones are resource and service hubs that provide holistic, multigenerational support for residents and help break down barriers to economic, health, and educational equity. Neighborhood Zones emerge from listening to what people want and need to succeed on their terms and are cocreated by residents, neighborhood leaders, local businesses, and other nonprofits. Because of this, the resources and services provided vary by location.
In this Neighborhood Zone update, we welcome you to each of our current locations: Brooklyn/Curtis Bay, Poppleton, and Columbia to learn about what’s happening in each community where networks are strengthened as an important way to improve the quality of life for each neighbor.
The Neighborhood Zone in Brooklyn offers a Family Center within Benjamin Franklin High School, providing on-site childcare for student-parents so they can stay in school and graduate, as well as housing and employment assistance, a dropout prevention program, mental health services, access to fresh and healthy food, and more.
Since its inception, 53 studentparents graduated from our Brooklyn Family Center. During the 2021–2022 school year, we served 17 infants and toddlers along with 25 parents, five of whom earned their high school diploma in June. Graduating while raising a child is not an easy feat, especially during a pandemic.
"My daughter has learned so much—from tracing her name to saying her numbers 1 through 10. Wow! This program helps me to be a better woman and a much better mom to my daughter. I am so very grateful for all of you."
—LIDIA
Our Neighborhood Zones don’t address just one issue: we look at the whole person, or the whole family, and provide the services or resources needed to get that individual or family on track for a stronger future—because stronger neighbors mean stronger neighborhoods.
At the newly opened Poppleton location, we learned that the community has struggled against structural barriers for decades.
United Way’s Neighborhood Zone services in Poppleton complement those of our partner, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, which operates its Community Engagement Center in the neighborhood. Opened in 2015, this Center promotes neighborhood and economic development.
We offer a Family Center for student-parents at the nearby Excel Academy modeled after our Family Center in Brooklyn; there is a United Way 211 Helpline staff person to connect residents to critical resources in person; and we’re providing housing assistance so that families avoid evictions, and their children don’t suffer academically from untimely school transfers.
In its first school year, we served eight infants and toddlers and five student-parents. Three parents graduated, one will attend college, two will transition to the workplace, and two other students attended summer school to earn their diplomas in time for August graduation—we’re rooting for them! Nineteen other studentparents received holistic support and resources.
In Fall of 2022, we opened our third Neighborhood Zone in Columbia. Howard County is known for having one of the highest median incomes in the state. But it also has one of the highest costs of living, making it a difficult place for low- to moderate-income families to get ahead. Higher than average childcare costs in the region place an additional burden on families who are already struggling to make ends meet.
"Before the Family Center, I never trusted anyone, especially with my daughter. I didn’t know what it felt like to be genuinely loved until I met all the ladies and students at the center. You all really love me. Yes, unconditionally."
—MONYEA
The Columbia Neighborhood Zone includes a Family Center, providing discounted childcare and early childhood education to eligible families, as well as eviction prevention assistance; job readiness and budgeting classes; individual, family, and group counseling; food assistance; legal aid referrals; and more.
As a family, we know how blessed we are. We have received support from family, friends, and our community.
United Way helps to shine a light on those who are not as fortunate. Giving at the Tocqueville level and contributing as a Board Member allows us to show gratitude and pay it forward–ultimately making a difference in the lives of others. Through the United Way, we know our dollars serve a broader network than what we can do alone. We all have a responsibility to participate positively in our community, whether it’s with your time, talent, or your treasures. By picking just one and especially in partnership with the United Way, we all win collectively.
Supporting UWCM is so important especially with ongoing pandemic needs and the increasing societal challenges of our surrounding communities. The mission of UWCM, to promote equity, access to education, health, employment, and housing, is vital to helping our neighbors in need from our surrounding communities. Our family believes in the difference one person can make by extending a helping hand or supporting important organizations like UWCM. We have gratitude for the services that United Way provides every day.
We support United Way because our personal values align with the mission. We learned growing up, both the challenge and importance of achieving family stability. Due to a workplace campaign during the years growing our family, we learned and observed the effectiveness of UWCM programs building stability in the ALICE community. We’re proud and inspired to partner with UWCM to broaden available resources and to champion initiatives designed for those in our community facing life’s challenges, helping them achieve their best lives for their family.
I chose to become a Tocqueville member after I participated in the inaugural class of United Way of Central Maryland Women’s Philanthropic Leadership Program. This experience helped me to decide to partner with UWCM to achieve my philanthropic goals. I was mentored by incredible women who introduced me in a personal way to the impactful work of UWCM and nurtured me to define my role as a philanthropist. My philanthropic interests are economic mobility, youth, and workforce development.
I currently serve on the Women United Executive Council and the Fort Meade Alliance Board where I am active in education and workforce development initiatives that aim to change lives.
Traci and I have always been focused on giving our time, talents, and treasures to benefit equity, underserved communities, and youth. The birth of our son only amplified our sincere belief that a life of service is not only important but necessary to seeing a future that we want our son to live in. We chose to be a part of Tocqueville Society because our values are aligned, and the impact is relevant in addressing today’s challenges.
Gratitude and giving back are important values for our family. We feel fortunate to support United Way of Central Maryland’s efforts in providing practical and immediate help to local families in need. Of special significance to us are the programs UWCM has around supporting children, including its family centers for infants and toddlers and free childcare for student-parents.
UWCM has been a welcome home and an impactful avenue for my desire to help to turn into something much greater. It has also been an important part of my personal growth as I continue to become more educated and aware of the many challenges that confront members of our community. Everyone having basic access to fundamental resources— food, housing, healthcare, education, and second chances—is important to me, and UWCM has numerous programs that work to eliminate barriers and improve the quality of life for our neighbors that need it the most.
Many male students of color don’t have access to the networks, supportive mentors, financial resources, post-secondary preparedness programs, and preprofessional experiences that lead to academic and career success, in part due to systemic and institutional barriers.
Students of color—particularly males—lag behind their counterparts on nearly every key indicator of educational and professional attainment.
Enter Young Men United: A new United Way equity and education initiative designed to close earning and learning gaps. It will help young men of color complete high school and explore and pursue college or post-secondary career paths.
The 2022–2023 school year holds new promise for a group of driven 10th-grade students at Benjamin Franklin High School and Patterson High School in Baltimore City. Twentyfive students at each school will begin a life-changing journey as the inaugural cohort for Young Men United.
Building upon each participant's strengths, Young Men United will dismantle barriers and connect the students to pathways that will provide them with greater financial stability throughout their lives—and fortify and diversify our local businesses and organizations.
Young Men United provides holistic support, from academic assistance to college and career preparation and application guidance, to mentorship, and resources for family members. United Way of Central Maryland recognizes that young men of color in Baltimore face several responsibilities outside of school such as jobs and families. The program is strategically designed to provide support to help them excel both academically and personally.
United Way wants these students to dream big. Each participant will be paired with a coach/mentor, an adult with similar lived experiences, to help them identify and articulate their goals and aspirations and develop a workable plan to achieve them. Program components include exposure to colleges and training programs, industries, businesses, post-secondary pathways, power skills, and professional development. This comprehensive program will also help develop a strong pipeline of engaged leaders who transcend in their careers and strengthen our workforce.
Only 23% of Black men and 28% of Hispanic men in the Baltimore region have a bachelor’s degree or higher versus 47% of White men. College enrollment for Black men dropped 14.3% in 2021 vs 2020, as Black families disproportionately suffered from illness, job loss, and financial strain during the pandemic.
The Emerging Tocqueville Society is redefining philanthropy with a growing network of members who partner with United Way of Central Maryland to help make a difference throughout Greater Baltimore. Emerging Tocqueville Society helps donors scale their giving into transformational philanthropy with a new route to membership in United Way’s group of our most generous donors, the Tocqueville Society.
Among other benefits, members enjoy social and professional networking with like-minded local community leaders, access to volunteer and leadership opportunities, and invitations to exclusive events. We are looking for collaborators and changemakers to bring about sustainable solutions to issues facing our region. Are you ready? Join us today in pursuit of a shared vision for a better tomorrow.
