THE UNITED WAY OF MIDLAND'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN MIDLAND BY UNITING COMMUNITY RESOURCES WITH IDENTIFIED NEEDS. United Way of Midland works with community partners in supporting over 50 programs and services that target identified needs by focusing on the building blocks for a better life: a quality education that leads to stable employment; financial independence and sufficient housing to support a family; and sound emotional and physical health. United Way of Midland connects the dots between our community's issues and real solutions that are all made possible with the gifts of time, talent, and financial resources. Together, we help change the story.

Letter from the Executive Director Having just helped celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday in one month and grand-daughter’s third birthday in another, it has been nice to have both ends of the generational perspective. My wife and I are truly caught in the middle of two generations and all that means for our family. My mother represents the values and a legacy that began with her and my father. My grand-daughter represents how those values and the legacy will continue beyond even my life.

This year, United Way of Midland is also on two ends of a generational perspective. We celebrate this year, our early beginnings 70 years ago, when a group of concerned Midlanders began to invest their resources to enhance the quality of life for others. They created a value system and legacy that continues now into this generation, and hopefully beyond it. They chose to make community investments that helped change the trajectory of another Midlander’s life story through their concern and philanthropy.

That, and more, is what our Annual Report represents. Having engaged in a Board level conversation last year about our future and our values, one of the most important and obvious to everyone is our desire for transparency. This report reveals the investments made in our community as we sought to bring community resources to bear on identified needs. It is a reading that gives one a great deal of satisfaction. No matter the size of one’s donation to United Way, you are part of a larger picture of changing the story of someone’s life.

All of us, myself included, can point to someone, somewhere along the trajectory of our lives, whose influence altered ours. I am glad United Way exists in Midland, because changing the story of someone’s life is perhaps the most satisfying experience one can have. To know that my modest ability to give is joined with community gifts to make someone’s life change course for the better is why we give, and why we seek to encourage our new generation of children to do the same. It is a legacy I believe we all want to leave behind.

Thank you for helping United Way of Midland change the story of another life by connecting your gifts to a need.

No More Tool Boxes- Mission Center Adult Day Services received a United Way grant for a new medication cart this past year. Those who work in health, know the importance of carts in providing excellent client care- the locking mechanisms, helping to meet licensing regulations, increasing safety and quality assurance, and wheels for more effective medication passes. Veteran MLVNC Vanda could not express her gratitude enough, as prior to this cart, nurses were using a Craftsman tool box. Such a simple request, yet a huge gift to clients and their families.

Unlock Ministries- Op Camp

"Joe's" dad was in prison when he came to Op Camp after 4th grade. His mom worked a lot, so he clung to the mentoring community, asking mentors for a ride each week. He anticipated with hope the day when his dad would be out of prison and come to find him. The day came, but his dad did not. His mentor listened while he cried, devastated that his dad did not want him. Joe's burdens are heavy, but he always exudes a joyful attitude. He thrives in his Op Camp family. His co-campers are his closest comrades. They call each other "brother". This year at camp he confided to his mentor that his mom's boyfriend has been beating her since he was three. He trusted staff to help and they collaborated with other agencies, had painful conversations, and many failed efforts, but Joe's mom has finally broken free and made a new life for her family.

Joe (an 8th grader) will be on staff at a program for kids this summer.

He's a great leader!

Boys & Girls "Club Kids" participated in the Midland High Homecoming Parade.

YMCA of Midland- YMCA Children's Learning Center Norma, a recently divorced mother of five, came to the YMCA looking for childcare for her youngest son, 4 year old Andy. Andy was too young to go to school and had been in the care of his maternal grandmother while his mother worked to provide for the family. Norma explained that her mother had recently passed and she had been forced to alternate which of the older children (14 and 12) she kept home from school to watch their youngest brother. Norma, being the sole provider for 5 children, did not have the expendable income to pay full price for childcare.

Through the Y's scholarship program, Norma was able to enroll Andy that same day for a 70% reduced rate. Andy has attended the program every day since his mother came to the YMCA looking for help. Both of his older siblings have returned to regular attendance at school and Norma now has a safe, reliable and affordable place to bring Andy while she works to provide for herself and her children.

COMMUNITY GRANTS THE UNITED WAY OF MIDLAND INVESTED $45,000 IN 12 NONPROFIT HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED PRESSING NEEDS IN MIDLAND. LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES

Little Free Libraries offer a way for the public to take and give back books in nontraditional areas. These could be health clinics, low income neighborhoods and community centers. They are typically an eye-catching, small wooden box of books where anyone can take a book or bring a book to share.

Mini-Grants MIDLAND ACADEMY CHARTER GRANT WRITING TRAINING

On December 19th, Michelle Evans, Jane Hellinghausen and Mark Alexander from United Way of Midland visited the Midland Academy Charter School. They talked to the middle school students about NonProfit Organizations, Philanthropy and Grant Writing. The 7th and 8th grade students then worked on mini-grant proposals that would benefit the school and students. The students presented seven projects to the student body, United Way of Midland staff and a Grant Panel. The Panel selected two projects to receive funding up to $500 from the United Way of Midland- a school mascot and a class pet.

POVERTY SIMULATION TRAINING

On August 25th, UWM co-sponsored a Poverty Simulation training- a powerful role playing experience for professionals who work in social services. Participants experienced a day in the life of an individual/family receiving or accessing various public services. They were that person/family, and had to maneuver social services such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, apply for a job using public transportation, take their kids to school without a car and receive an eviction notice.

Co-Sponsors: Midland Citizens United to Reach Equity (CURE) and Texas Department of Health and Human Services Center for Elimination of Disproportionalities and Disparities

THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT PROJECT

In January, United Way of Midland received a grant to promote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) to young Midlanders, working families and others who may not be aware of their eligibility. The project includes “telling the stories” of some who received the tax credit and how they will use the refund. United Way at the national level will use stories collected across the country to advocate to policy makers to continue the vital tax refund program.

The project is a collaborative effort with United Way, Casa de Amigos and Midland College.

Community Initiatives CLUB READ

United Way knows how critical it is for children to succeed in school. In the summer of 2016, over 250 students participated in the Club Read program. The United Way of Midland collaborated with the Boys and Girls Club of Midland, Casa de Amigos, Midland Fair Havens, and Unlock Ministries Fun Academy. Over 1,800 books were ordered and delivered to the children participating in the Summer Reading programs. By the end of the summer, 97% of all students who completed the Club Read pre and post-test maintained or improved their reading levels.

XY-ZONE

The XY-Zone Initiative began in 2011. In the 2015-2016 school year, the ongoing collaboration with Communities in Schools (CIS), MISD and the United Way of Midland, expanded collaborations to include Palmer Drug Abuse Program, Be The Change (Challenge Day), Kelsee Jones – Grief Group, 1 to 1 Tutoring with Golf Course Road Church of Christ and First Presbyterian Church, in order to help guide at-risk males ages 15-18.

During the 2015-2016 school year, 100% of XY-Zone seniors graduated and XY-Zone Staff conducted 908 one-to-one coaching/mentoring sessions and 306 small group sessions.

LITERACY LIAISON

Formerly known as Ready to Read, this program has evolved into a fulltime Literacy Liaison position. The Literacy Liaison is assigned to Pre-K and Kindergarten students at Crockett Elementary and works with individual students and in small groups to read and teach fundamental reading skills such as text concepts, print concepts and phonetic awareness. As of March 2017, the assessment data show that 62% of Crockett Kindergartners are on grade level and 13% are above. The United Way of Midland Women’s Leadership Council, The Midland Independent School District Foundation, and Crockett Elementary School launched this exciting reading project in the Fall of 2013.

FAMILIES FORWARD- TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

In collaboration with Family Promise and United Way of Midland, Families Forward Transitional Housing opened doors to it's first family on December 20, 2013. Since that time, nine families have been enrolled in the program, five of which have graduated from the program. Of these families, the average income while in the program rose $13,575, while the average debt reduction equaled $7,295.

SPECIAL DAYS AT UNITED WAY DAY OF GIVING

The first annual “GIVE UNITED” Day of Giving was hosted on February 14th, 2017, as a collaborative effort between United Way of Midland, United Way of Odessa and Permian Basin Area Foundation.

February 14th, a day very much associated with caring, was chosen as a reminder to “show love” back to the community. The goal was to bring awareness to issues surrounding health, education, and selfsufficiency in the Permian Basin. United Way also wanted to reach new groups of donors by engaging them with online giving and a text-to-give platform using increased social media and news coverage.

Together, $ 4,687.00 was successfully raised! GIVE UNITED day was a team effort from board members, staff, community partners, volunteers, and clients and we are looking forward to moving ahead this campaign year with the same effort to reach new faces about our cause.

DAY OF ACTION

United Way Day of Action is an annual invitation for people and organizations around the world to live United and take action to address a variety of challenges.

Each year communities around the world come together to harness the volunteer spirit and improve the conditions in which they live.

United Way of Midland celebrated Day of Action on June 21, 2016. We hosted a book drive and were able to hand out over 1,300 books to four area organizations: Community Children's Clinic, Camp Fire West Texas, Midland Children's Rehabilitation Center and Safe Place of the Permian Basin.

Thank you to everyone who hosted a book drive, donated books and helped sort and deliver the book to the organizations.

TESTIMONIALS AND TRIBUTES JEFF GOTCHER

1957-2016

Jeff Gotcher was a long -time friend of United Way of Midland. His years of service as a volunteer and donor are cherished, but above all, he will be remembered for his history of giving back to the community. Jeff most loved being a father and husband. He was witty, an avid golfer and an invaluable friend to many. Jeff loyally supported anything UT, and had a talent for writing. He wrote 3 books and even had one, “Shadow Warrior” published! His presence and leadership at Cimarex will always be remembered by those he worked with. “I credit Jeff’s leadership as Land Manager, as playing a central role to our success. But most important, was his role in mentoring a group of young Landmen, and developing them into one of the best team of professionals in the business. His legacy will live on through their success as professionals and as men and women. I lost my best friend and I miss him dearly, but I am a better man for having known him.” -Roger Alexander

CELEBRATING THE LIVES OF UNITED WAY OF MIDLAND PHILANTHROPISTS: Mr. William F. Pennebaker (1918 -2016) Mr. Tracy P. Clark (1921-2016) Mr. M.A. “Art” Custer (1926-2016)

“We feel a strong responsibility to share our blessings with others. Every community has unique issues that need attention to improve the overall quality of life.

United Way of Midland is the community’s leading organization to recognize, steward, and solve these issues with real solutions. When we give to United Way of Midland, we are giving back to our community.”

-RYAN & TIFFANI HAMILTON, ADT SOCIETY

"The United Way supports organizations which go a long way to improving the quality of life for many of us in Midland. I have benefited from some of those organizations myself."

Mr. Wade Choate (1932-2017) Mr. William. H. Flynt (1936-2017) Ms. Elizabeth A. Brown (1958-2017)

The main two reasons that started me giving again to the United Way are 1) I became aware of how one agency fulfills a critical need in Midland/Odessa that I would like to support and 2) my employer has a matching gifts program.

Through a friend, I became familiar with one of the agencies that United Way supports, SHARE. Although I probably had heard of SHARE, I really didn’t know what they did until I witnessed their support of my friend and her family. Sure I wanted to help support the fabulous work this agency does but it also made me wonder how many other great agencies are out there that I just don’t happen to know about. And when my employer would match my gift, it seemed like an obvious winwin situation. I could support an agency I know about and allow UW to select other good agencies to support also.

Employee Campaign Coordinators The Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) is a United Way of Midland advocate in the workplace who encourages co-workers to create a stronger community by planning, organizing, and giving to the annual Campaign. An ECC is the foundation of the work United Way accomplishes in our community, as they are the gatekeeper to the companies who generously give to the bulk of United Way fundraising efforts. On top of their normal work duties, these ECC’s go above and beyond in their volunteer roles with Campaign. We are thankful for all of their amazing work and contribution to our city!

BRANDI PRICE- ATMOS ENERGY

"For this year’s campaign, we held fundraising and awareness activities for an entire week. We had a menudo breakfast, played musical chairs, golfed through a maze and even had a pie-in-the-face finale. We had a live and silent auction for our employees to bid on. We offered incentives to donate early and donate as much as possible. As you can see in the pictures- it was fun! Our ending numbers of both participation and level of giving reflected this belief and commitment.

Our employees have become involved in many of the organizations that are supported by United Way. This constant reminder keeps them giving and believing in your mission and purpose. GREAT JOB United Way of Midland!"

CINDY WAGLER- COMMUNITY NATIONAL BANK

"As employees of Community National Bank, we are very fortunate to be encouraged and supported in our community involvement efforts by our Board, Management and each other. United Way is one of the many organizations we support through volunteering our time and energy. The month of October is traditionally our United Way fund raising month. Some of the projects we do to raise money include bake sales, hot dog sales, pancake breakfasts, “Pie in the Face” contest, purchase stickers to dress casually two days a week for the month and one of our favorites, “Pay to Play Days”. This allows us to purchase up to two days off with the proceeds going to United Way and we still get paid!!! As the chairperson of our United Way fundraising at CNB for the past 7 years, I cannot express enough appreciation to my fellow employees for their willingness to volunteer their ideas, time and energy!"

BAHOLA EDWARDS- MIDLAND COLLEGE

"I’ve been actively involved with our United Way campaign since the early 1990’s for Midland College. It has been fun and challenging to come up with fundraising ideas for our campus campaign. We’ve done activities such as tricycle races, car washes, “Grubby Days” to wear our jeans and the most popular, our silent auction. One year we had a dunking booth to dunk our administrators and the day we had it scheduled the temperature was in the 50s so we had to reschedule it.

It turned out that day was even colder but all of our administrators were troopers and cooperated anyway wearing wet suits! Why do I support United Way? Because it helps so many agencies that help children, families and the elderly."

Rebekah Gregory is a simple small town wife and mother whose life was forever changed due to the events of the Boston marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. This horrible act of terrorism left her as one of the names of the seventeen amputees, and therefore permanently handicapped at the young age of twenty six.

Instead of being bitter, Rebekah has used her platform by encouraging others worldwide. Speaking out about her story and own daily obstacles, she believes that life's struggles are not only meant to teach us lessons, but make us better versions of ourselves than before. Rebekah's delivery with her quick wit and contagious optimism left the audience feeling inspired and ready to make their own life changes.

Karmen Bryant Todd Meade Joe Phillips

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society Only 26 years old when he came to America in 1831, Alexis Charles Henri-Clerel de Tocqueville traveled all over the young nation. Perhaps his most important observation was that Americans helped each other in time of need. He recognized, applauded and immortalized the voluntary spirit that lives in America's heart.

"I must say that I have seen Americans make great and real sacrifices to the public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend faithful support to one another."

United Way of America formed the Alexis de Tocqueville (ADT) Society in 1984 to deepen individuals' understanding of, commitment, to and support of United Way's work: advancing the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. The ADT Society recognizes local philanthropic leaders and volunteer champions around the world who have devoted time, talent, and funds to create long-lasting changes by tackling our communities' most serious issues.

Membership in the ADT society is granted to individuals who contribute at least $10,000 annually to United Way. The ADT Society of Midland was founded in 1988 with 15 charter members. In 2016, the ADT Society of Midland had 31 members.
