HOWEVER, A NEW MODEL FOR DETERMINING WHICH PROGRAMS TO FUND WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2007. FUNDING DECISIONS ARE NOW BASED ON A SET OF TARGET OUTCOMES WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION PROCESS. WORKING IN THREE "IMPACT AREAS," EDUCATION, INCOME, AND HEALTH, COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS REVIEW APPLICATIONS FOR SUPPORT AND RECOMMEND SPECIFIC AMOUNTS OF PROGRAM FUNDING BASED ON CRITERIA THAT INCLUDE ALIGNMENT WITH DESIRED OUTCOMES, PROGRAM QUALITY, PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND THE IMPACT OF OUR FUNDING. WE ASK HOW MUCH EACH PROGRAM IS DOING, HOW WELL THE WORK IS BEING DONE, AND IS ANYONE BETTER OFF AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. AS A MEANS TO ACHIEVE THE IMPACT WE WANT TO SEE IN OUR COMMUNITY, UNITED WAY CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN (OVER $3,250,000 RAISED IN 2015) WHICH INCLUDES WORKPLACE CAMPAIGNS AND INDIVIDUAL SOLICITATION. THE ABILITY TO MAKE INVESTMENTS FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT IS DEPENDENT UPON THE SUCCESS OF THAT COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN EACH YEAR. TO ADD VALUE TO THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT, PROGRAM STAFF PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON HOW TO MEASURE AND REPORT PROGRAM SUCCESSES, HOW TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND RESOURCES, AND HOW TO AVOID REDUNDANCIES. 573090 573090 DONOR DESIGNATION PASS-THROUGHS: IN OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN, AND TRUE TO OUR MISSION TO MOBILIZE THE COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S LIVES, WE PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR DONORS TO DESIGNATE THEIR GIFTS TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING UNITED WAYS WITHIN THE STATE AND NATIONALLY.

At the start of a three-year cycle, agencies apply for funding for specific programs under the following impact areas: Education, Income (financial stability) and Health. In a thorough explanation of how they plan to use current year's program funding (and how they used the prior year's award), the applicant must provide specific performance measures in three areas: 1) outputs of the program (e.g. number of people served, number of hours provided, anything that is meaningful to describe the scope of their work), 2) any external measures of program quality (i.e. licensure, accreditation, oversight, etc.) and 3) data on program outcomes (i.e. how much was done, how well was it done, and is anyone better off). Pt I Line 2 In addition, applicants for funding provide a complete set of current financial statements which are reviewed. Pt I Line 2 Applications received at the start of the three-year funding cycle are reviewed by the volunteer Community Impact Team. In years two and three of the cycle, agencies with funded programs report annually on the programs. Annually the Community Impact Team reviews the application and/or reports and rates the applications on specific criteria, and then recommends the amount of funding that each program will receive. The scores are shared with funding applicants along with suggestions for improvement or changes. Pt I Line 2 Funding recommendations made by the Community Impact Teams are reviewed by a volunteer oversight Community Investment Committee that looks at the entire portfolio of program investment recommendations before furthering the recommmedations on to the United Way of Chittenden County Board of Directors for final approval. Pt I Line 2 Midway during the fiscal year, the Community Impact Team also makes monitoring site visits and/or reviews reports from the funded programs and asks a standard set of questions on how the money is being spent, how things are progressing, whether or not there are program changes, etc. In addition, throughout the year, program providers partner with United Way in community change initiatives, agency forums, affinity groups where programs work toward the same target outcome, as volunteers on committees and as providers of volunteer opportunities. The relationship between funded agencies and United Way of Chittenden County is much different from the typical grant fund recipient with grant funder. Pt I Line 2 An annual report of how the program funds are used and the effectiveness of the program in meeting target outcomes is part of the application for funding the next year. Pt I Line 2 Donor Designated Gifts for General Support are unrestricted contributions made to an agency at the direction of the donor(s) in support of its general operating costs. Agencies receiving donor designations must annually verify compliance with provisions of the USA Patriot Act and verify they are an agency in good standing as an IRC Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. United Way of Chittenden County has no oversight of those funds. Other Part IV - United Way of Chittenden County states the following on our pledge form with regard to donor designated gifts: "This gift option bypasses review and follow-up measurement by the Community Volunteer Impact Teams and all fiscal and program oversight." X 36 153074 Average Share Price false true false Pt VI, Line 11b A draft of From 990 is reviewed and approved first by the Organization's Audit Committee and then by the full Board prior to filing. Pt VI, Line 12c The Code of Ethics and Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed each July by both the Board and the staff. Each Board member and staff person must complete a disclosure form 1) certifying that they understand and agree with the policies and 2) disclosing any known conflicts of interest. Board members and staff also agree to disclose any potential conflicts should they arise during the year. New staff or Board members who join the Organization during the year are required to complete the disclosure form as part of their orientation. Pt VI, Line 15a In its annual determination of compensation of the Organization's Executive Director and other key employees, United Way of Chittenden County compares compensation rates and benefit plans to local and regional compensation information. Individual salaries are compared to salary ranges for similar positions with data provided by United Way Worldwide ("UWW"). The data provides stratified information by geographic region with minimum, midpoint and maximum compensation levels for various positions. In order to maintain a compensation/benefit plan that is competitive in the local job market, UWCC strives to maintain a compensation/benefit plan near the midpoint of comparative survey information. UWCC's Finance and Operations Committee reviews and approves the annual budget - which includes compensation and benefits - with final approval by the full Board. Pt VI, Line 15b See above description for Part VI, Line 15a.
