United Way received our third consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. That means we've taken steps to be accountable, transparent, & financially healthy! Only 25% of the charities evaluated have received at least 3 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that United Way of Forsyth County outperforms most other charities in America.
Message from our Executive Director Dear United Way Friends, It’s difficult to begin this letter when I know I’m supposed to be focused on results for 2019. But here we are in 2020, a year like no other, and one we are not likely to forget anytime soon. The week ending Friday the 13th in March officially became the beginning of the pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization. Hundreds of school systems closed throughout the nation, work from home and teach/learn from home became the norm and the U.S. stock market tumbled. Not much good news to be found. However, your United Way jumped into action on March 13th organizing a meeting of 20 representatives from the food pantry/food distribution agencies in Forsyth County. Our goal was to have a plan to support our most food insecure neighbors. We developed a plan of communication in order to share food items and truly work together in a more efficient and effective way…the united way! (You can read about our COVID response on page 6.) I am excited to share this annual report which reflects our collective impact, and the pages to follow highlight many of the successes we’ve achieved together over the past year. We also take a brief look at some of the new projects we’ve been working on and will roll-out in 2021. We have much to be proud of and even more by which to be inspired. Our newest large projects, Boys & Girls Clubs and the Child Well-Being Index truly level the playing field for children and families and expand our efforts into low-income neighborhoods to bridge the achievement gap. It’s the kind of work United Way is made for. We owe our very dedicated community of volunteers a special thanks for their commitment to support educational opportunities, help people become financially stable, and improve health—the building blocks for elevating the quality of life in our community. You, our donor, make the work we do possible. Thank you for all you do to help improve the lives of children and families in our community. It is through our work in education, financial stability, and health that we effect change—transforming vulnerability into empowerment, poverty into opportunity, and despair into hope. Before you know, we’ll be saying here we are in 2021! Together, we will make it a great year! With much gratitude,
Ruth Goode

COMMUNITY IMPACT BEHAVIOR & MENTAL WELLNESS SERVICES
In collaboration with Forsyth County Schools, United Way of Forsyth County is investing in our students’ overall health by providing funding for on-site therapeutic services for students when costs are more than the family can afford. In 2019, United Way paid out $29,357 to this program which equates to approximately 500 therapeutic sessions. Additionally, we provide funding to support an in-school program addressing bullying, substance abuse and suicide prevention. Through United Way support, Avita Community Partners held Coping Skills Group Therapy Sessions in 2019 on a weekly basis with an average attendance of 15 clients per session. Avita also provided individual counseling for seniors and caregiver support group therapy through United Way support.
CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM United Way of Forsyth County is committed to helping our youth achieve their potential and go on to lead successful lives. In partnership with Forsyth County Schools, United Way assists with tuition for recovery credits for failed classes, transportation for before and after school programs or tutoring, graduation fees and High School Graduation Test review sessions as well as other services to help keep students engaged and on track to graduate. These services are offered to students who are identified as economically disadvantaged, special needs or ELL students to remove any and all barriers they may experience getting in the way of graduation. Since 2008, United Way has funded $725,000 to Credit Recovery programs. Additionally, the graduation rate in Forsyth County has increased from 85.8% in 2008 to 96.14% in 2020.
“Seven years ago, the graduation rate at Forsyth Central was 82%. Each year since then, we have had a steady rise and reached our all-time high of 95% in 2020. A big reason for that has been the opportunities that we have been able to provide through extended instruction, Saturday tutoring, summer school, and APEX learning. All of these have been possible as a result of the United Way of Forsyth County’s generosity!” - Mitch Young, Principal
Forsyth Central High School

Since 2017, UPS has packaged 4,433 toiletry kits for United Way with a total value of approximately $102,000.
SEEING IS BELIEVING NONPROFIT TOUR
Embark on a journey without leaving town. Seeing is Believing tours are a great way to see first hand where donations are being invested. Participants are given a behind-the-scenes look at the daily activities and challenges faced by nonprofit agencies and the clients they serve. The result is a deeper understanding of why giving to United Way is so important. In 2019, United Way held 3 nonprofit tours with a total of 54 attendees visiting 13 different nonprofit organizations.
FORSYTH COUNTY DRUG AWARENESS COUNCIL
United Way of Forsyth County is the fiscal agent for the Forsyth County Drug Awareness Council, with Tammy Nicholson as the Director. Their mission is to educate, advocate and empower the community to prevent substance abuse across the lifespan in Forsyth County, Georgia. They accomplish this by holding monthly collaborative meetings, advocating on the state level and holding community drug awareness summits for residents. They also have a resource library for anyone wishing to learn more via books, videos, brochures, information sheets, etc. The council estimates reaching approximately 20,000 Forsyth County residents through their programs.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT BIZ TOWN AND FINANCIAL PARK
We continued to support the Junior Achievement BizTown and Financial Park, a simulated town that allows middle school students to explore industries and careers through immersive simulations and acquire foundational knowledge for real world experiences, which is located in the Alliance Academy for Innovation. The philanthropy store is operated by United Way of Forsyth County, North Georgia Community Foundation and United Way of Hall County.
BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF LANIER-FORSYTH COUNTY CHAPTER
At the start of the 2018/19 school year, United Way of Forsyth County piloted the first Boys & Girls Club in our community at Cumming Elementary. The Club was hoping for 100 students to start the program. They had 112 students registered and an average daily attendance of 94 students. Boys & Girls Clubs prepare every young person with the skills and knowledge they need for a great future—to graduate from high school with a plan, inspire them to succeed, live a healthy lifestyle and become a leader in the community.
WOMEN UNITED
2019 was the charter year for Women United of the United Way of Forsyth County. Their mission is to champion a network of women leaders who engage by giving, connecting and volunteering with a collective vision to strengthen Forsyth County. This diverse network of women will do much more than donate. The volunteers of Women United will invest their time and talent to address our community’s most critical issues. By igniting the power of women - who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done - we hope to find new solutions to old problems here in Forsyth County. Women United donors believe in the collective power of women and in empowering each other to accomplish more together.
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE
in w e N 0! 2 0 2
United Way of Forsyth County began developing an in-depth community resource guide for Mental Health Services. This guide will work in conjunction with a new Community Mental Health website. Both the guide and website are being created with the help of volunteers from UPS and UNG. Completion is expected in early 2021.
FORSYTH COUNTY CHILD WELL-BEING INDEX
Putting our community’s children on the path to fulfilling their potential requires us to work together toward a single, shared agenda. We’ve needed a collective vision, unified measures of achievement, strategies for how to attain success and a way to evaluate progress. Through data collected by United Way, we are able to measure how children are faring in Forsyth County and can better determine the services needed to support them and their families.
TEXT-TO-GIVE
Since texting has now become the preferred mode of communication among donors of all ages, it makes perfect sense to incorporate text-to-give as an option to donate. You can now simply make your donation by texting

2020 COVID-19 RESPONSE
COVID-19 is impacting everyday life and we are grateful to be in a situation that has allowed us to keep our doors open and serve our community. United Way reacted swiftly to the needs of the community at the beginning of the pandemic. • March 16 - convened local food pantry partners to begin organized food distribution • Established separate COVID-19 Fund to provide direct assistance to the most vulnerable and to help local agencies • Provided PPE supplies to frontline healthcare staff at GHMS – masks, shields, hand sanitizer • Participated in Forsyth County Emergency Management’s weekly meetings • Distributed bags of toiletry items, cleaning supplies, as well as school and art supplies • Facilitated drives for food, PPE and school supplies • Thus far, we have taken over 400 calls for assistance and paid out $52,800 in financial assistance and supplies As the coronavirus continues to create an evolving situation with varied impacts around the world and across the states, we continue to feel those impacts here at home. United in our efforts, we are all in this together. WE ARE STILL HERE - still here to support our community partners, still here working to provide important programs, information, and opportunities, still here to support those affected by COVID-19 and still here for you and your family. We continue to work every day to improve lives and provide opportunities in the areas of education, financial stability, health and basic needs.
