WE BRING THE POWER AND RESOURCES OF A GLOBAL NETWORK TO EACH PARTNER. WHEN WE LEARN, WE PASS THAT KNOWLEDGE TO OUR PARTNERS SO THAT TOGETHER WE CAN FIGHT FOR THE EDUCATION, FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND HEALTH OF EVERY PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE EVALUATE AND SELECT STRATEGIES AND INTERVENTIONS THAT HAVE PROVEN SUCCESSFUL, AND WE MEASURE OUR OWN IMPACT TO HELP THE NEXT CHILD OR NEIGHBORHOOD OR COMMUNITY FIND A BETTER PATH. WE DON'T SIMPLY TAKE IT ON FAITH THAT WHAT WE DO WILL WORK. WE HAVE TO PROVE IT-TO OUR DONORS, OUR PARTNERS AND OUR COMMUNITY. INVESTMENT DECISIONS ARE MADE BY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY. AS PART OF A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROCESS, VOLUNTEERS MEET TO REVIEW SUBMITTED PROPOSALS AIMED AT ACHIEVING THE COMMUNITY IMPACT GOALS AND ADDRESSING BASIC NEEDS. PROPOSALS SHOWING THE GREATEST ABILITY TO MEET THE GOALS ARE AWARDED FUNDING. DONATIONS ARE INVESTED TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT HELP CHILDREN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL, FAMILIES BECOME FINANCIALLY STABLE, AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. INVESTMENTS INCLUDE *$400,000 TO SERVE 309 CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN EARLY EDUCATION PROGRAMS, INCLUDING HIGH-QUALITY PRESCHOOL, LITERACY TRAINING AND CURRICULUM AND PROGRAMS PROVIDING ACCESS TO BOOKS *$387,000 TO SERVE 497 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH TUTORING AND FAMILY SUPPORT *$175,000 TO SERVE 1,400 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND ADULTS THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING AND PERSONAL FINANCIAL COACHING AS WELL AS JOB TRAINING AND CAREER EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES *$80,000 TO SERVE 375 PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR WELLNESS INITIATIVE, TARGETING SAFETY, INDIVIDUAL HEALTH, EDUCATION AND JOB READINESS AND ADVOCACY *$5,000 INTO THE VITA PROGRAM TO HELP PEOPLE GET THEIR TAX RETURNS PREPARED FOR FREE.

SUPPORTING BASIC NEEDS REMAINS FOUNDATIONAL TO UNITED WAY'S WORK. THIS SUPPORT FOCUSES ON RENT AND UTILITIES, FOOD, HEALTH ASSISTANCE/PRESCRIPTIONS AND SAFETY FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. WITHOUT HAVING THEIR BASIC NEEDS MET, CHILDREN MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY LEARNING IN SCHOOL, FAMILIES MAY STRUGGLE TO BE FINANCIALLY STABLE AND INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES MAY STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH. *$21,000 TO PROVIDE BOOKS TO MORE THAN 3,000 CHILDREN THROUGH DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY. UNITED WAY ALSO COORDINATES THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS EACH YEAR THROUGH ONGOING BOARD AND COMMITTEE OPPORTUNITIES, CORPORATE VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT AND SPECIAL VOLUNTEER EVENTS LIKE: *NANCY PERRY DAY OF CARING, WHICH PROVIDED 963 VOLUNTEERS FOR COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT PROJECTS. *THE JUNIOR LEADER READER PROGRAM, WHERE VOLUNTEERS READ TO 1,600 PRE-SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS IN FY17. IN TOTAL, UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOPEKA COORDINATED OVER 25,000 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE LAST YEAR. WE TAKE PRIDE IN KEEPING ALL OF OUR INTERNAL COSTS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT DONOR DOLLARS ARE USED EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION. THAT BEING SAID, WITHOUT THOUGHTFUL EXPENDITURES ON SUPPORT SERVICES, WE COULDN'T RAISE MONEY OR OTHERWISE HELP OUR STAFF DO THEIR JOBS. THESE EXPENSES INCLUDE THE COSTS OF FUNDRAISING, RENT, COMMUNICATION, ACCOUNTING, AND MANAGEMENT. BY FOCUSING ON OPERATING EFFICIENCY AND ENLISTING THE HELP OF MANY COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, WE ARE SPENDING LESS ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES THAN WE DID THREE YEARS AGO. UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOPEKA STRIVES TO ADD VALUE TO THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY BY FACILITATING AND ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION, BY SHARING RESOURCES AND CAPACITY, BY FOCUSING MANY PARTNERS ON PROBLEMS THAT WOULD OVERWHELM ANY SINGLE AGENCY. UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOPEKA HAS TAKEN ON THE HARD WORK OF MEASURING IMPACT AND WE ARE USING THAT INFORMATION TO HELP MOVE THE COMMUNITY FORWARD. WE ARE NOW SEEING MORE TOPEKA-AREA GROUPS ADOPTING THIS APPROACH AND EVEN ADOPTING THE IMPACT AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN OUR FOCUS FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS.
