We work to achieve community-wide change that improves the education, financial stability, and health of Greater Portland residents. To these ends, we: 0 0 1776579 1603332 EDUCATION: Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. It is essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage and health benefits. It is also fundamental to a community's economic prosperity: a well-educated workforce attracts world-class jobs. United Way of Greater Portland funds 27 programs at 13 partner agencies that focus on education, helping children, youth, and families reach their potential.Just as the strength of the foundation determines the stability of the home, all future learning, behavior, and health is based on one's early experiences. Our vision is that young people will grow up healthy and ready for the future; that they are prepared for kindergarten; that children are reading on grade level by the end of third grade; that middle school youth are at grade level in math and reading; and that high school students graduate with proficiency and ready for college, the workplace, or the military. Research and experience show that each one of these benchmarks is essential for long term success.During 2017 United Way of Greater Portland worked with community volunteers to develop community goals that would guide future focus of the organization's efforts. The early childhood portion of United Way of Greater Portland's education work is expressed in Thrive2027 Goal 1, "Every child will have high quality early learning experiences beginning at birth."In addition to funding our partner agency programs, we have a number of place-based initiatives that allow us to conduct intensive, targeted work in the identified communities. Most of our partner agencies are involved in one or more of the projects outlined below, which strengthens the impact of our investments and community partnerships: 1. The Westbrook Children's Project ("Children's Project") continues to be an example of how we are working to fulfill our vision. This year the Children's Project expanded in scope, identifying a range of goals and strategies to support the success of youth in Westbrook from cradle to career. Active and focused partnerships among the Westbrook School Department and community partners have grown. Important Children's Project strategies, activities, and accomplishments in FY 2017 included:- Support of Westbrook Communities that Care which utilizes an evidence-based national model proven to reduce problem adolescent behaviors and support positive youth development. - Identification of children who would benefit from a summer "Jump Start" program; children attending this program showed progress in letter identification, sound identification, or both of these important indicators of future academic success.-Preparation of literacy kits, books and school supplies that were distributed to parents and 200 incoming kindergarteners. - Continued refinement of a quality improvement cycle to evaluate the initiatives of Westbrook Children's Project. 2. Portland ConnectED is a cradle-to-career initiative intended to coordinate efforts, align resources, and harness the expertise of local and national organizations and leaders to prepare Portland residents to meet the challenges of the future. Portland ConnectED's initial efforts and resources are focused on the goals of kindergarten readiness, grade-level reading proficiency by third grade, high school graduation, and post-secondary enrollment, persistence, and completion. As the backbone for the 0 - 8 portion of the initiative, United Way of Greater Portland coordinates the efforts of Starting Strong, a subcommittee of Portland ConnectED focused on school readiness and grade-level reading proficiency. In 2017 through the activities of four work groups, Starting Strong implemented strategies, including:- Coordinating a literacy program for children pre-K to third grade at three free summer meal sites.- Joining partners to plan and implement a School Readiness Rally in conjunction with the Week of the Young Child. - Implementing a program for first-grade students reading below grade level to receive one-to-one tutoring twice a week from trained volunteers at two schools.- Developing strategies to promote and support school readiness focusing on families and children who will attend Reiche School.- Implemented a walking school bus pilot program for a neighborhood where multiple children were identified as chronically absent.3. Count ME In is an innovative partnership of schools, parents, youth, and community organizations working to improve elementary school attendance, with the goal of decreasing the number of students with chronic absenteeism in Cumberland County elementary schools by 50% by 2018. Count ME In facilitated the district and community teams to build a data-driven process that can be implemented and sustained within each of the elementary schools involved with this effort.4. South Portland Partners for Student Success (SPPSS) is a collaboration of the South Portland School District and community-based organizations to provide integrated support for children who are at-risk of getting off track and their families.SPPSS unites school and community partners to design and implement strategies that keep students on the track to academic success. This includes increased collaboration and integration with partners to build systems and learn strategies to maintain and improve daily attendance of students in pre K-5th grade. In addition, parents will be engaged as partners to enable their child to meet or exceed rigorous content standards while developing the skills and habits of mind necessary for future success. Accomplishments and analysis included:- Increased engagement of school staff and community partners have come on board.- Attendance data reviewed in fall 2015 continues to have positive trend in decreasing chronic absence.- Increased Parent as Partners engagement has fostered heightened knowledge and appreciation of positive ways of engaging parents to address chronic absenteeism and early interventions.5. United Way of Greater Portland provides fiscal management to the Early Childhood Funders Group, a statewide consortium of foundations and other organizations that provide funding for early learning in the State of Maine. The group meets quarterly to discuss issues related to early childhood education and determine how the combined resources and influence of the group can have the greatest impact.This funder affinity group has been meeting now for six years, and currently has a total of thirteen active members. Over the past year, the group has explored some shared investment opportunities. Experts in the field have presented on different issues for young children and families from systemic and direct service perspectives. One of the more significant activities of the group has been to continue to collate investment data from members, recording the total amount and type of early childhood investments in Maine. 1710422 1589787 HEALTH: Improving people's physical and mental health and well-being is one of the building blocks of a thriving community; however, numerous obstacles stand in the way of good health for many residents of Greater Portland. United Way of Greater Portland funds 40 programs at 18 partner agencies that focus on health, helping advance our health goals in the community. From addressing substance abuse to funding vision rehabilitation programs and outpatient mental health clinical services to addressing domestic violence, United Way works tirelessly to improve lives for thousands of residents in Greater Portland. United Way of Greater Portland is also leading work to align partners behind Thrive2027 Goal 3 of reducing premature death.In collaboration with several community partners, United Way of Greater Portland developed the Let's Go! program. Let's Go! is a nationally recognized, community-based childhood obesity prevention program that promotes healthy lifestyles for children, youth, and their families. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the program and it continues to grow in Greater Portland and beyond. The goal is to build and support heathy environments to increase physical activity and healthy eating, thereby impacting trends regarding youth obesity. We accomplish our goals using the 5-2-1-0 message: eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables per day; limit recreational screen time (TV or computer use) to 2 hours or less; get 1 hour or more of physical activity every day; and drink 0 sugar-sweetened beverages, choosing low fat milk or water instead of soda. This message is used consistently across the multi-sector model to reinforce evidence-based environmental and policy change strategies.Let's Go! statewide efforts are managed by Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center. United Way of Greater Portland continues to provide important leadership in the statewide work and financially supports the work in Cumberland County by funding the equivalent of two full-time coordinators to implement the multi-sector model locally through Let's Go! Cumberland County.In Fiscal Year 2017, Let's Go! in Cumberland County reached many youth through work in multiple sites. This entails working with 2,374 students in 55 childcare sites, 16,936 students in 43 schools, 2,849 students in 24 out-of-school sites, and 56,476 children in 33 health care practices. Let's Go! also recognizes sites in all sectors based on how many of the priority strategies are being implemented, written into policy, and enforced. In Fiscal Year 2016, Let's Go! Cumberland County worked with 155 sites and at year end, 73% (113 sites) were recognized as Sites of Distinction, including 20 schools, 45 childcare sites, 24 health care sites, and 24 afterschool centers received recognition status. Fiscal Year 2017 data will be available in late fall of 2017. 961265 959970 FINANCIAL STABILITY: In Greater Portland, through Thrive2027, the goal is set to ensure that individuals and families have the education, employment opportunities and resources to achieve financial stability. The measure of this success is the percentage of income that a household spends on housing costs. Currently, 65% of households pay less than 30% of their income on housing and by 2027, the goal is for 70% of households to pay less than 30% of their income on housing. To do this, community members have identified several drivers of this work: ensuring that all individuals have a high school credential; all individuals complete a post-secondary degree, certification and/or training to meet their career needs; all individuals and families have the earnings/income and assets to be financially stable; and all individuals and families can afford and access goods and services. To support these community needs, United Way of Greater Portland invests in sixteen programs at nine partner agencies that support work that focuses on improving individuals and families' financial stability. By helping to address the root causes of issues faced by our most vulnerable - homelessness and food insecurity, unemployment and barriers to employment - United Way of Greater Portland is working collectively in the community to connect people to resources that will help them embark on, or continue down, the path to financial stability. Additionally, United Way of Greater Portland invests in the following initiatives toward this goal:1. CA$H (Creating Assets, Savings, and Hope) Greater Portland is a partnership of community leaders and industry experts empowering individuals and families to achieve long-term financial stability. CA$H is a year-round resource for the community, offering free income tax preparation to qualified filers during tax season, and educating hard-working residents about how they can make the most of their money. In 2016, CA$H Greater Portland IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers filed 1,069 free federal and state income tax returns, returning $1,240,483 in federal income tax refunds to individuals and families, including $322,614 in federal Earned Income Tax Credits. Thanks to these efforts, 653 households saved roughly $139,896 in tax preparation and filing fees.2. United Way of Greater Portland serves as the Cumberland County Local Board administrator for the Local Board of the federal Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP). This program is designed to help communities respond to local emergency food and shelter needs. EFSP funds are intended to help local existing programs, such as food pantries and shelters, expand their capacity to serve those in need. Local funding decisions are made by the Local Board, which sets priorities, advertises the availability of funds, makes funding recommendations, and provides technical support to recipient organizations throughout the grant period. EFSP's Phase 34 funding awarded $84,333 to 21 programs at 18 agencies in Cumberland County.3. In March 2017, United Way of Greater Portland took on backbone responsibilities for the Greater Portland Workforce Initiative (GPWI). It is a collective impact collaborative that builds on the existing work and experience of 20 community organizations and connects with the public workforce system to create a dual-customer pipeline aligning with the needs of jobseekers and employers. To achieve this, the GPWI identifies sector-specific opportunities for sustainable employment, engages employers for input into the core and occupational skills required for increased employment of jobseekers with barriers to employment, provides individuals with barriers the skills and supports necessary to enter into the identified pathways, and provides employers with access to qualified jobseekers. 2813786 1416622 496081 1. 211 Maine is a partnership with the United Ways of Maine, The Opportunity Alliance, and the State of Maine that connects people to resources such as heating and utilities assistance, access to food pantries, housing and shelter, and mental health services through a toll-free telephone number (211), a text option (898-211), and a robust online directory at www.211Maine.org. Specialists assess callers' needs and refer them to help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, utilizing a statewide database of more than 8,000 resources. Last year, 211 Maine call specialists answered approximately 45,092 calls, providing information and referral services.2. Keep ME Warm is a statewide partnership of the 10 United Ways in Maine and the 10 Community Action Agencies (CAPs) to raise funds to supplement fuel assistance programs in Maine. Keep ME Warm is the only statewide fuel assistance fundraising effort in the state. United Way of Greater Portland is the custodian of the Keep ME Warm Fund and is responsible for collecting, distributing, and reporting. Funds contributed to Keep ME Warm are distributed based on a formula developed by the CAPs and United Ways in Maine based on federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) distribution percentages as well as population. CAPs receive 65% of the funds, United Ways receive 25%, and 10% is used to fund emergency overnight assistance through 211 Maine.Donations to Keep ME Warm provide emergency heating assistance. CAPs use the funds to help households that might not be eligible for limited federal, state, or local fuel assistance programs. United Way of Greater Portland funds support additional organizations and agencies in their communities that can help those in need of fuel assistance. 211 Maine aids in the distribution of funds for statewide overnight emergency fuel assistance for people who have no heat and have children or elderly family members in their household.More than $148,550 was raised for heating assistance through Keep ME Warm last year. United Way of Greater Portland estimates that more than 654 households were helped last year, directly benefiting 1,504 people.3. Designations are donor-directed contributions to health and human service organizations. Donors to United Way of Greater Portland's campaign may direct all or a portion of their contribution to specific nonprofit agencies that provide health and human services. Each agency's nonprofit 501(c)(3) status and compliance with the USA Patriot Act is verified before funds are distributed.4. Volunteers play a vital role in improving people's lives and in helping United Way of Greater Portland reach our organizational goals. We know meaningful community solutions require more than just money, programs, or policies. The kind of real and lasting change that benefits everyone is only possible when people from all walks of life are willing to roll up their sleeves and go where their time and talent is most needed. United Way of Greater Portland is helping to support Thrive2027's (our community's commitment to 3, 10-year, community-wide goals, www.Thrive2027.org) success by guiding its vision and strategy, aligning partners, and sharing best practices. United Way of Greater Portland puts people at the heart of transforming their communities by calling on them to utilize their full range of assets - time, talent, and treasure - through volunteering. We believe volunteer efforts are the backbone of the community and strengthen the connections that create positive changes that benefit everyone. They help build the capacity of local non-profit agencies by enhancing and expanding the agency services to meet community needs. Additionally, UWGP not only uses its community investments, but also strategic volunteerism, public policy work, and evaluation capacity to help move Thrive2027. To this end, United Way of Greater Portland works with our corporate partners and others in the community to identify and recruit volunteers to fill identified needs in our schools and nonprofits. These volunteer opportunities include readers, skills based volunteers and volunteers who are responsible for evaluating making recommendations for our community investments. Through a collaborative effort with the United Ways in Maine, United Way of Greater Portland offers a statewide, searchable listing of volunteer opportunities at volunteer.unitedwaygp.org. This valuable tool allows organizations to post volunteer opportunities and individuals to perform a customized search. In addition to hosting and administering the site, we offer technical support to volunteers and agencies. Additionally, United Way of Greater Portland organizes a variety of community events, including an annual food drive, National Family Volunteer Day, Read Across America Day, literacy kit projects, Kindergarten Jump Start and dozens of tailor-made volunteer projects for corporate partners. One of the largest and most well-attended events each year is our annual Day of Caring, during which over 1,000 volunteers dedicate more than 5,000 hours of service to 75 projects at more than 50 different sites. 2813786 1416622 496081 7262052 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 21 0 1 43 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 24 23 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Wendy O'Rourke 2078741000 One Canal Plaza No 300 Portland ME 04101 Katie Bellerose Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Boulos Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Bruno Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Cipollone Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Danielle Conway Director (part year) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Cummings Director (part year) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sean Dugan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Elkins Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Fischer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MaryEllen FitzGerald Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia French Director (part year, out) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Garofalo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Henry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sterling Kozlowski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Regina Phillips Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Rayder Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Rosenfield Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Spencer Thibodeau Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Toner Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dana Totman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Wilson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Fletcher Esq Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Simonds Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gregory McCarthy Vice Chair Director (part year, out) 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Anne Dalton Director/Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Cotter Schlax Secretary/President/CEO 40.00 1.00 X X 152187 0 10245 Matthew Hoidal SVP, Resource Development 40.00 0.00 X 124256 0 9147 276443 0 19392 2 0 1 0 0 104375 8333828 353230 8438203 Service fees 624200 453238 453238 Miscellaneous Revenue 624200 42843 42843 496081 225659 225659 1657868 1164847 493021 493021 493021 9652964 496081 0 718680 X 5557961 5557961 11750 11750 162433 89338 34111 38984 1930654 853933 427363 649358 75983 42328 6268 27387 193711 107983 14673 71055 155543 69772 34607 51164 23269 23269 22000 22000 18356 18356 32140 32140 192972 141484 51488 56804 33954 8752 14098 159679 96605 16075 46999 250365 114457 51193 84715 35344 21449 4914 8981 113894 60424 14464 39006 81968 37267 18257 26444 29647 13479 6603 9565 12194 5544 2716 3934 19381 4324 1982 13075 9136048 7262052 737743 1136253 1882 1884 4729956 4996786 5126760 4744510 41173 19409 93513 95973 374401 273388 118086 101013 7226660 8128344 1117715 1185977 18455745 19273896 426687 522523 199875 154157 3794161 3586050 4420723 4262730 X 5970279 6561357 4965146 5240763 3099597 3209046 14035022 15011166 18455745 19273896 X 516916 359209 100019 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 7962536 8165764 7467511 8234977 8438203 40268991 7962536 8165764 7467511 8234977 8438203 40268991 3041219 37227772 164328 162678 258112 235477 225659 1046254 41315245 2397969 0.90110 0.90790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2000 16356 18356 7838588 7856944 542847 135712 0 0 554385 530583 524994 542847 2152809 3229214 13647 10521 10650 18356 53174 138596 132646 131249 135712 538203 807305 10339 5550 1955 2000 19844 0 1 X 7272127 146186 971463 56105 208794 46922 8077955 7532477 41134 1633 55716 205136 42265 7272127 7615873 12787 203124 55827 199688 43792 7532477 6621777 44744 1245572 56184 195772 44264 7615873 6054910 108781 743423 21945 227554 35838 6621777 0.55520 0.24980 0.19510 1 0 374401 273388 101013 101013 Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust 1185977 1185977 Designations Payable 3586050 3586050 X 8833088 359209 359209 8473879 32140 1146945 1179085 9652964 7856944 0 7856944 32140 1246964 1279104 9136048 Part IV, Line 2b: United Way of Greater Portland holds an endowment for the benefit of Preble Street, a social service agency that provides services to people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger, and poverty.

A copy of the final Form 990 is provided to all Directors and is available to the public upon request. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c United Way of Greater Portland's Code of Ethics is intended to guide and advance the ethical conduct of both volunteers and staff in carrying out their United Way of Greater Portland responsibilities. As part of the Code of Ethics, the Board of Directors and staff must avoid a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, which could tarnish the reputation of United Way of Greater Portland or undermine the public's trust in United Way of Greater Portland's staff and volunteers. To ensure that the best interests of United Way of Greater Portland are served, the Board of Directors and staff upon first being appointed, elected or hired, disclose in writing, to the best of his or her knowledge, any potential conflicts of interest that involve the individual, his or her immediate relatives, or any entity with which he or she is associated in a significant leadership or ownership capacity. Thereafter, these disclosures are updated annually, or sooner if changed circumstances in a particular case may warrant. The terms of all potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by management and reported to the Executive Committee of United Way of Greater Portland as necessary to ensure compliance with the Code of Ethics. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The process of determining the compensation package of the President & CEO includes all elements noted: review and approval by independent board members, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision by a board member present in the executive session where compensation is determined.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 25: Indirect Expense Calculation: A calculation of United Way of Greater Portland's operating expense ratio according to the data included in Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of Revenue and Form 990, Part IX, Statement of Functional Expenses, includes expenses associated with soliciting, collecting, and distributing over $5.6 million in out-of-area pledges in 2017. Revenues associated with these pledges are excluded from the Statement of Revenue, as United Way Worldwide standards dictate that such pledges represent revenue to the United Way in which the donor works. Similarly, dollars raised on behalf of 211 Maine are excluded from the Statement of Revenue, as 211 Maine issues its own Form 990, but some costs incurred in soliciting those dollars are included in the Statement of Functional Expenses. The below calculation, which includes all funds processed by the United Way of Greater Portland, better represents the Organization's operational efficiency, and is included in the Organization's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017: Supporting Services: 2017 2016 Fundraising 1,136,253 991,325 Management & General 668,964 700,415 Total Supporting Services 1,805,217 1,691,740 Revenue: 2017 2016 Sources Listed Above 9,620,824 8,963,648 Out-of-Area Pledges 5,612,118 5,259,177 211 Maine Revenue 786,671 948,658 Total Sources 16,019,613 15,171,483 Operating Expense Ratio 11.3% 11.2% Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Donor Designation Adjustment, Net 100,019.
