We achieve this by mobilizing people, organizations and financial resources to create and sustain programs that achieve targeted outcomes and lasting change through volunteerism, partnerships, services and advocacy. 0 1 1329152 232554 604571 Health - UWCJ continues as the replication site for the evidence-based Nurse Family Partnership Program within Middlesex and Somerset Counties, improving pre-and post-natal maternal and child health through home visits conducted by bachelor-degree nurses trained in the program model since 2005. UWCJ is recognized as a 'Champion of Coverage' by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, US Department of Health for our four years of aggressive and successful outreach to educate community partners as well as the uninsured about the importance of obtaining medical insurance through the Affordable Care Act. 587937 238525 Education - UWCJ is the replication site for two evidence-based education programs: Parent Child Home Program (PCHP) and Abriendo Puertas. PCHP is an early literacy home visitation program targeting parent and child, while Abriendo Puertas is a basic life skills and child advocacy workshop series for low-income Latino parents with children ages 2-4. UWCJ is aligned with United Way Worldwide's Campaign for Grade-level Reading. 1503625 282718 Financial Stability: UWCJ assists financially-fragile households in four leadership capacities: 1. An IRS grant to provide free tax preparation service year-round for income-eligible households is matched in excess of 1:1 with our own resources. This initiative filed over 2,500 returns during the 2016 tax filing season, returning over $3 million dollars to tax filers and the community. 2. Financial assistance to households affected by the 2012 Superstorm Sandy continued with UWCJ-generated funds and grants from major foundations for which UWCJ serves as fiscal agent. 3. In collaboration with other partners represented on the board of Coming Home of Middlesex County, leading in an employment initiative with the county Workforce Development Board and area corporations for currently homeless individuals. 4. NJ211 provides information about assistance (financial and service) to residents of our service area 24/7/365 via this multi-lingual helpline. 4511752 4967703 STUFF-THE-BUS SCHOOL SUPPLY COLLECTION: Donations of school supplies and backpacks from corporations, volunteer organizations and the general public enables UWCJ to distribute school supplies valued at $27,649 to low-income children. GIFTS-OF-THE-SEASON: UWCJ helps low-income families with children at the end-of-the-year holidays. Area corporations, social and volunteer organizations, local unions and the general public fulfill the "wish lists" of families receiving service from community non-profit organizations. 232 families comprised of 294 adults and 651 children received holiday gifts in 2015 valued at $100,090. PARSONS PRE-KINDERGARTEN ACADEMY: UWCJ supported a kindergarten readiness program during the summer to prepare children residing in limited-English-proficient households for the classroom routines. $5,000 was invested into this initiative. SUMMER EVENTS TICKETS DISTRIBUTION: In collaboration with one of the area's minor league baseball teams, UWCJ distributed donated baseball game tickets to area youth non-profit organizations. In 2015, these tickets were valued at $36,256. SUPER-STORM SANDY RECOVERY: UWCJ continued its role as Fiscal Agent for the Middlesex County Long-Term recovery Group (LTRG) during calendar year 2015. A total of $656,967 was paid to vendors to assist households impacted by this storm for services such as temporary housing, replacement of furniture and fixtures, restoration of premises, clinical mental health counseling, and storage. An additional $310,130 was expended for case management services and other LTRG operational costs. AFFORDABLE CARE ACT LEADERSHIP: Recognized by the US Department of Health and Human Services' Regional Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a "Champion for Coverage," UWCJ aggressively outreached to our nonprofit and government partners to inform service beneficiaries and constituents of the need to obtain medical insurance. Arrangements for Certified Application Counselors to be on-site to assist individuals were made for nonprofits as well as UWCJ. Two organizations were especially helpful in out-posting CACS: Family Resource Network and SRA International. FOOD, CLOTHING AND DONATED ITEMS COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION: UWCJ distributes non-perishable food items collected at area corporations throughout the year. This food is delivered to Middlesex County's centralized food bank, McFoods, which supplies 75 local food pantries operated by houses of worship and nonprofit organizations. Clothing and toiletries are also collected at area corporations, which are then distributed to local nonprofit organizations. The value of these distributions in 2015 is $37,020. FACILITIES & OTHER SERVICE TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: UWCJ provides below-market office space to a community partner organization and in 2015 also provided no-cost office space for a NJ211 VISTA Member in service to New Jersey's various COAD groups (Community Organizations Active in Disaster). UWCJ continues to provide technical assistance, no-cost meeting facilities, and other in-kind services to local nonprofit organizations. DESIGNATED GIFTS TO OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: Through the annual workplace campaigns, area corporations allow donors to direct their gifts to any nonprofit health and human service organization. UWCJ is essentially fundraising on behalf of countless other organizations via this "open designation" process. In 2015, UWCJ's fundraising efforts generated $4,310,557 in donor gifts to other United Ways, and other nonprofit organizations, both locally and nationally. 4511752 4967703 7932466 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 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 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NJ X X UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL JERSEY 7322473727 32 FORD AVE MILLTOWN NJ 08850 LAWRENCE P O'CONNELL CHIEF VOLUNTEER OFFICER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 LEE F LIVINGSTON FIRST VICE CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JANE LEAL VICE CHAIR, BRAND STRATEGY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 CAMILLA LAURICELLA TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS VAN DER STAD TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD WILDNAUER SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 SAUL CRUZ TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS S MCDONOUGH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SOL HECKELMAN VICE CHAIR, COMMUNITY INVE 3.00 X X 0 0 0 MURIEL GRIMMETT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE HEINZE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS KILIAN TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 JOANN LAPERLA-MORALES TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT TAGLIENTE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANA MONROY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GISELLE MUDGE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAURICE WILLIAMS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GLORIA AFTANSKI PRESIDENT, CPO 45.00 X 150593 0 16260 STUART GRANT SENIOR VP, COMM INV 40.00 X 130791 0 8503 ELIZABETH E HANCE VP OF FINANCE (CFO) 45.00 X 91031 0 13049 372415 0 37812 2 0 1 0 0 5839781 1777629 310268 7617410 COMMUNITY PROGRAM INCOME 624200 604571 604571 604571 33142 33142 52800 39350 13450 13450 13450 1290902 1284179 6723 6723 6723 ADMINISTRATIVE FEE 900099 43422 43422 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 108 108 43530 8318826 648101 0 53315 5064533 5064533 656967 656967 410227 259341 97991 52895 797140 493569 199718 103853 27484 20898 3405 3181 100965 76770 12510 11685 100249 62201 25440 12608 19000 7216 6207 5577 23305 8852 7613 6840 104795 43167 39968 21660 55852 37904 13154 4794 15020 8299 3890 2831 21943 13296 5945 2702 21166 18323 764 2079 43308 18768 17329 7211 40476 24525 10966 4985 28558 12581 10984 4993 COMMUNITY PROGRAM EXPEN 1063431 1063431 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 36909 32708 2888 1313 17154 9117 2913 5124 8648482 7932466 461685 254331 397358 492889 1820040 1348686 854997 555350 24942 2167 51252 64020 2355294 1076499 915058 1278795 852952 920996 313679 294899 5230278 4957802 200589 131335 745777 918516 946366 1049851 X 2160289 2385601 1810623 1227451 313000 294899 4283912 3907951 5230278 4957802 -329656 -46305 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 4506937 4124801 3851134 5517659 7617410 25617941 4506937 4124801 3851134 5517659 7617410 25617941 3959020 21658921 92698 86007 82961 84058 85942 431666 60195 34722 35133 67205 42530 239785 26289392 3082429 0.82390 0.75700 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 40000 40000 2091612 852818 1238794 223682 223681 1 1278795 Investments - Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust 294899 294899 Allocations Payable 356931 Designations Payable 561585 918516 X 4001135 -46305 -46305 4047440 4271386 4271386 8318826 4377096 0 4377096 4271386 4271386 8648482 Part X, Line 2: MANAGEMENT HAS REVIEWED THE TAX POSITIONS FOR EACH OF THE OPEN TAX YEARS (2012-2014) OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN UNITED WAY'S 2015 TAX RETURN AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
