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 1801501 1620707 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 26 programs at 12 partner agencies that focus on education, helping us advance our overall education goal of improving graduation rates in Cumberland County. From addressing youth self-esteem to funding accredited child care centers, United Way of Greater Portland is 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 the 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.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 2016 included:- Implementation of an early warning system throughout the school district to identify at-risk students and proactively plan for school and community interventions. - Implementation of plans with the school department and community providers to increase early kindergarten screenings, with the goal of providing early intervention if needed to support kindergarten readiness. - 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 citizens 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 2016, through the activities of four work groups, Starting Strong implemented strategies, including:- Conducting community messaging campaigns about the importance of school attendance for Attendance Awareness Month and summer learning for National Summer Learning Day.- Coordinating a literacy program for children pre-K to third grade at four 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.- Developing strategies to promote and support school readiness focusing on families and children who will attend Reiche School.- Developing 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. The partnership expanded to twelve school districts, who are partnering with community organizations to address elementary school absenteeism. 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. The goal of the project is to develop an early warning system that uses data to recognize when a student is in need of additional support and to implement support in a timely fashion.Accomplishments and analysis included:- Review of attendance data for 2015-2016, grouped by less than 7 days, 0-8 days, 8-10 days, 11-17 days, and 18 or more days to assist in implementing programs and policies to help reduce the number of days a student is absent. - Examined chronic absentee data for several sub-groups, including students with an Individualized Education Plans, and students who change schools during the course of the year.- SPPSS will continue to focus on attendance and family engagement, on identification of students who are off track, and on matching them to timely and appropriate interventions. 5. United Way of Greater Portland provides fiscal management and funding 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 to determine how the combined resources and influence of the group can have the greatest impact.This funder affinity group has been meeting for five 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. 1598701 1511923 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 Cumberland County. United Way of Greater Portland funds 41 programs at 18 partner agencies that focus on health, helping to advance our health goals in the community. From addressing substance abuse to funding vision rehabilitation programs and outpatient mental health clinical services, United Way of Greater Portland works tirelessly to improve lives for thousands of residents in Cumberland County.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. The goal is 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 the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center. United Way of Greater Portland continues to provide key 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 2016, 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. 1106975 949504 FINANCIAL STABILITY: There are more than 31,000 people in Greater Portland living in poverty, many of whom do not have enough stable, adequate income to support their basic needs. United Way of Greater Portland has always taken a strategic approach to addressing the root-cause of these critical issues, and intends to help every person in Greater Portland have the opportunity to achieve financial stability. In order to achieve financial stability, individuals and families need permanent housing and food security, use every income and work support they qualify for, and have a career pathway to earn enough income to manage their expenses and build savings. To support these individual needs, United Way of Greater Portland invests in 10 programs at 6 partner agencies that support work that focuses on 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. 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 2015, CA$H Greater Portland IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers filed 1,106 free federal and state income tax returns, returning $1,134,006 in federal income tax refunds to individuals and families, including $353,076 in federal Earned Income Tax Credits. Thanks to these efforts, 616 households saved roughly $97,944 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 33 funding awarded $100,476 to 24 programs at 21 agencies in Cumberland County. 2547645 1459058 479363 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) and a robust online directory at 211Maine.org.

Keep ME Warm is a statewide partnership of the 10 United Ways of Maine and the 10 Community Action Agencies (CAPs) to raise funds to provide emergency 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 of Maine 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 $175,000 was raised for heating assistance through Keep ME Warm last year. United Way of Greater Portland estimates that more than 1,000 households were helped last year, directly benefiting approximately 2,500 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.

United Way of Greater Portland utilizes teams of community volunteers working in conjunction with staff to conduct this "Community Investment" review process, which includes a paper application and in-person review meeting. To be considered for funding, applicant organizations must meet basic certification standards, including verification of current status as an IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Applicant agencies are required to: 1) Explain the proposed use of United Way of Greater Portland funding and demonstrate results (client outcomes) of funding. 2) Submit agency and program-level budgets and annual audits to demonstrate financial stability and adherence to sound fiscal policies and management practices. United Way of Greater Portland requires that all funded organizations sign a funding contract agreeing to all general provisions of the funding relationship, reporting requirements and compliance with applicable state and federal regulations such as the USA Patriot Act. Community Impact staff regularly communicate with and monitor funded organizations via interim reports submitted between scheduled full reviews. Interim reports demonstrate how funding has been utilized to date and the client outcomes achieved as a result of funding. Interim reports provide information on major programmatic or financial changes to the agency that might impact its ability to deliver agreed-upon client outcomes. Completion and submission of satisfactory interim reports are a requirement of continued funding. Designations: Organizations receiving donor designated contributions through United Way of Greater Portland undergo screening prior to distribution of funding. Such screening includes certification that the organization 1) is a non-profit under IRS code section 501(c)(3); 2) provides health and human services; 3) is not fraternal, political or religious in nature. In addition, organizations must provide verification of compliance with the USA Patriot Act. X 58 261991 Stock Exchange Price 0 1 1 Part I, Line 32b: Local brokers are used to sell stock.

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.
