As our fiscal year came to a close in June, the country was mired in economic uncertainty. Even as we write this retrospectively, we have no idea how deep or prolonged this recession will be. It seems clear that 2008 will go down as one of the most unstable and frightening years of our lifetime.
United Way is needed now more than ever. For 83 years, through recessions and even the Great Depression, United Way has mobilized charitable people to improve people’s lives in central Maryland. Yes, we make philanthropy easy. More importantly, at a time when every dollar counts, United Way ensures that philanthropy is effective and impactful. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the leadership of our board volunteers, the counsel of experts and partnerships with many great agencies, our transformation to community impact – albeit still in its early stages – is producing meaningful results. As noted in this annual report, and more fully detailed in our Community Investment report (www.uwcm.org/ communityinvestment), our focus on the building blocks of a good life is proving timely. We operate under the thesis that all children will grow into productive adults if they are properly educated and mentored along the way . . . and that at-risk families and individuals can be most successful when they have access to affordable housing and other basic needs . . . and that people can thrive if they are free from violence and abuse in their relationships. These pillars – education, income and health & safety – are the foundation that helps people withstand even strong economic headwinds. As we address these chronic issues, United Way has never been needed more in responding to the growing need for life’s day to day essentials – helping people with things like food, shelter, access to medical care and utility assistance. United Way lends an ear and helpful information and advice to thousands of people every week struggling to find help. Our 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help™ is the place more and more people turn to. This free information and referral service is an invaluable community service that helps callers at any hour of any day in nearly any language. At a time when most frontline health and human service agencies are seeing revenues fall and demand for their services rise, funding from United Way has never been more important. By reaching out to hundreds of thousands of prospective donors, United Way absorbs substantial marketing, fundraising, accounting, technology and customer service expenses for literally hundreds of nonprofit organizations. Sometimes we even borrow money due to the timing of cash inflows – a cost we absorb – to meet our funding commitments. We don’t ask our agencies to hold their breath. If United Way has never been needed more, then the same can be said for our donors and volunteers. In 2008, United Way called on every individual in central Maryland to LIVE UNITED. To find their niche by giving, advocating or volunteering. For everyone who supported us in one or more of these ways, we are truly grateful. With our community at risk, we need more people and businesses to step up in any way they can. We need you more than ever. So do your neighbors.

United Way is many things to many people. It acts as a convener of resources and a beacon of philanthropy – conducting campaigns with more than 800 employers around the region and distributing funds to more than 1,200 organizations. It also acts as a leader of community change – supporting and guiding human service work around education, income and health & safety. Staff and volunteers serve on issue-oriented committees and boards, and United Way’s priorities are designed to address deep-rooted social problems using proven strategies. Neither role is mutually exclusive, nor one more important than the other. By taking on both, United Way is able to comprehensively make central Maryland stronger. It has been our honor and privilege to help lead these two critical roles during fiscal year 2008 – sharing the message of what United Way stands for and how it reaches so many levels of the community. Together, we’ve been able to work with amazing partners across the government, nonprofit and private sectors. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support the events, programs and initiatives that United Way is focused on – from the impact work in the region to United Way of America’s Community Leaders Conference hosted here in Baltimore to the new Live United movement. With your support, we raised $41.1 million during this fiscal year. Among other things, those funds helped provide more than 970 child care subsidies for low-income families – helping them reduce expenses by 11 to 35 percent. The funds also helped more than 2,100 at-risk individuals receive counseling and case management to help them avoid homelessness and 13,200 individuals find information on resources to help prevent or fight violence and abuse. We thank you for all that you’ve done to support these initiatives and the countless other activities that enable your United Way the opportunity to be successful. Whether you’ve contributed, given your time, or simply taken a minute to tell someone how important these issues are – you are the reason this organization makes a difference in the lives of central Marylanders.

n Education — Making sure every child enters kindergarten fully ready to learn and that youth have an opportunity to develop to their full potential, becoming young adults who are economically self-sufficient.
Echo House Multi-Service Center Episcopal Community Services of Maryland Family & Children’s Services of Central Maryland Family League of Baltimore City
To make sure all children in the target population are fully ready to enter kindergarten, United Way is working to inform parents about what they can do to help get their children ready for school and helping train people who care for young children. By making sure child care providers have the highest credentials and that they are equipped and able to teach, the number of children touched by quality education could double each year. United Way is also subsidizing the cost of quality care for low-income families.

There are several strategies United Way supports to help youth achieve their potential, including mentoring. By all estimates, 17.6 million young people – nearly half the population nationally of young people between 10 and 18 years of age – live in situations that put them at risk of not living up to their potential, according to Mentoring.org. Without immediate intervention by caring adults or engaging afterschool programs, they could make choices that not only undermine their futures, but ultimately the economic and social well-being of our nation.

n Income — People in the region, particularly those living in poverty, will be able to afford housing and access other critical necessities. There are several distinct strategies and models United Way supports with regard to helping people with basic needs. One is prevention programs that keep people from losing housing by providing eviction prevention services and rental assistance. Another is outreach and supportive services programs that provide case managers
Congregations Concerned for the Homeless Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center Harford Habitat for Humanity HealthCare for the Homeless
and help link people with supportive services such as: locating and securing safe and affordable housing; case management; self-esteem groups; life skills; relapse prevention; mental health service and other referrals; as well as eye care for children and adults who are homeless.
Human Services Programs of Carroll County Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training
Also, the Housing First model is showing promising results in Maryland and across the United States. By placing homeless people into housing immediately and thereby removing their housing crisis, these individuals are able to stabilize and address their other needs through supportive services.
Maryland Society for Sight Project PLASE
1,144 people received services and left non-permanent housing for permanent housing last year because of United Way-funded programs. Last year, United Way staff also had a unique opportunity to work on developing various long-range plans to end homelessness in jurisdictions across the region, including Baltimore City’s official 10-Year Plan which was released in January. These plans have shown success in communities across the nation.

United Way also focuses support on legal services for victims that include child custody and divorce support. In 2008, at the policy level, United Way was committed to promoting legislation that helped prevent domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse and neglect. This advocacy work allowed for increased intervention services and options for survivors of domestic violence and their families. Together, these strategies help support victims, encourage healthy childhood development and strengthen families.

Last year, United Way also worked to increase the number of companies who took advantage of eWay – our electronic giving tool. Encouraging people to pledge online not only benefits the environment, but helps increase the efficiency of the process. In addition to the various ways donors can give, United Way also offers giving societies. By helping donors get to the next level of philanthropy and then fostering their involvement, United Way believes it helps inspire new leaders. Through the Leadership Society, United Way offers challenge grants, volunteer opportunities and niche programs for women.

ADVOCATE
Advocacy is a critical component of United Way’s work. From legislative policy to word of mouth information – advocacy is about being a champion – a proponent. Whether that takes place in Annapolis or at the local coffee house or through the countless committees and boards our volunteers and staff are a part of, United Way is dedicated to making sure critical social issues have public awareness and support. United Way started using social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to get people involved. By posting awareness messages online and participating in national United Way events like a Facebook Challenge, United Way of Central Maryland is helping raise awareness and reach new audiences. Across the state, United Way staff is working hard on various advocacy initiatives, including joint legislation with the Maryland Alliance for the Poor and support for the Universal HealthCare Access Campaign – a collaboration with Healthcare for All. Staff also worked with United Way of America’s public policy team to write a manual that provides a hands-on approach to advocacy and public policy.

VOLUNTEER
198.6 million — That’s the number of hours
1.2 million Marylanders generated by sharing their time between 2005 and 2007. United Way firmly believes the power of time is just as important as the power of money. Volunteering is a key component of United Way’s mission. It’s also one of the three things the organization encourages everyone to do.
4,352 The number of volunteers that worked on the campaign, served on internal committees, boards and councils and gave their time to hands-on projects last year. United Way relies heavily on these caring and committed individuals.
Share Yourself Through shareyourself.org, United Way’s free online volunteer center, people in central Maryland are able to find volunteer opportunities that fit their needs. Last year there were 1,393 people registered on the site. More than 63 percent were employed full-time while nearly 17 percent were students. The majority were looking for opportunities for themselves, though 15 percent were looking for activities they could do with their family. More than 40 percent of the users are younger than 40 years old.
National Volunteer Week In addition to the volunteer events and activities in each of the jurisdictions across central Maryland, United Way supported National Volunteer Week. Working with companies in the area, United Way helped generate more than 1,500 volunteer hours between April 28 and May 3. United Way staff even joined the fun – preparing meals for the needy, cleaning and cooking at a local homeless shelter and helping celebrate spring with individuals with developmental disabilities.
Women’s Leadership Council More than 50 committed women took part in seven volunteer activities across the region, helping support at-risk women and children. A true example of sharing time and treasure.

2-1-1 Maryland at United Way of Central Maryland’s First Call for Help
TM
2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember phone number that links people who need help or want to give it to the right services. It acts as a barometer of need helping identify gaps in service and emerging needs. This information offers planners and funders a clearer picture for decision-making. Last year, 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help, which serves all of central Maryland, collaborated with local and state governments, nonprofit agencies and corporate partners to get information out to individuals and families across the region. Thanks to 2-1-1 Maryland at United Way of Central Maryland’s First Call for Help: n 645 families in Baltimore and Harford counties were able to access community
resource information and referral services from a single point of access through partnerships with the Baltimore County and Harford County Local Management Boards. Call specialists were also able to link families of children with intensive care needs with case coordination. n 30,575 service requests in Baltimore City were filled, thanks to a grant from Baltimore
City government to support United Way’s efforts to provide professional and timely information and referral services to city residents and service providers.
The top five calls last year were for: n Energy/Utility n Housing n Food n Income Supports n Health/Mental Health
n 797 callers were able to receive assistance navigating the Service Access and
Information Link (S.A.I.L), a web-based tool to help Marylanders apply for social service programs and benefits online thanks to a partnership with the Maryland Department of Resources.
169,059 is the number of calls received last year by 2-1-1 Maryland at United Way of Central Maryland’s First Call for Help, a 24-hour information and referral line. n 1,745 mortgage-related inquiries were answered as the result of a grant by the
Maryland State Department of Housing and Community Development to assist Maryland citizens facing possible mortgage-related foreclosures and evictions. This was more than three times the number of service requests in this category in fiscal year 2007.
Funding support provided by:
n 1,295 callers were provided with information on Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC)
and free tax preparation sites, due in part to 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help’s role as the EITC hotline for the state of Maryland. For tax year 2006, Maryland taxpayers who called the hotline received an estimated $2,360,668 from federal and state EITC campaigns. 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help also piloted a new EITC outreach and education campaign for Spanish-speaking filers. It was possible thanks to funding from Bank of America and partnerships with Baltimore CASH Campaign, CASA and Maryland Committee for Children. n 600 low-income families in Baltimore City received Thanksgiving bags as part of a
partnership with the Maryland Food Bank and six community-based organizations. 14 l 2007-2008 Annual Report l United Way of Central Maryland

Brown and the entire WLC welcomed the Archbishop Desmond Tutu dedicated people who support United Way into Charm City with flair. The group even helped coordinate a Leadership Forum for more than 120 WLC members and staff from around the country the day before the conference that featured networking and best practices for WLC groups. From a Preakness Stakes themed reception at the National Aquarium in Baltimore to an array of amazing speakers, the conference was one of a kind.

“The CLC was an inspiring and motivating experience. It was the perfect opportunity to showcase the amazing work done by staff and volunteers of United Way of Central Maryland to the entire country. I was honored to be a part of the event and grateful for the time and commitment put in by so many. The CLC couldn’t have embodied the spirit of LIVE UNITED any better.”

One of the ways United Way fulfills its mission is to raise funds and awareness for fellow nonprofits. United Way of Central Maryland helps make the agencies it funds more efficient and lowers their overhead. United Way handles more than two million accounting transactions annually. It absorbs substantial fundraising, marketing, administrative and customer service expenses, while raising top-line revenues for the agencies funded. United Way of Central Maryland funds partner agencies even when its own cash flow is slow. Agencies rely on stable, consistent funding from United Way to serve clients. Occasionally, United Way draws on its line of credit to cover funding because some agencies do not have the wherewithal to borrow themselves. United Way of Central Maryland is one of nearly 80 of Maryland’s approximately 20,000 nonprofits to have earned the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations’ Standards for Excellence credential.
