We work to achieve community-wide change that improves the education, financial stability, and health of Greater Portland residents. To these ends, we: -Educate the community and raise resources to address the most pressing human care needs -Provide funding, technical assistance, volunteer resources, and a wide range of support to strengthen the capacity of our nonprofit partners to address community needs -Convene and work side by side with individuals, nonprofits, government, businesses, and other community partners -Create, fund, and replicate initiatives that improve the quality of life for individuals and families -Work with policy makers and advocates on important issues around education, financial stability, and health. 0 0 2009433 1526597 0 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 funds 25 programs at 13 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 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 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 through increased staffing capacity commitment from United Way of Greater Portland.Important Children's Project strategies in FY 2014 included:- Development and implementation of an early warning system throughout the school district to identify at-risk students and proactively plan for school and community interventions.- Release of the 2013 Westbrook Children's Project Annual Update to the community. This initial report provides an overview of the Children's Project goals, strategies and baseline indicators and will be updated annually. - 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. Additional Children's Project Accomplishments in the past year include:- An increase in community-wide summer learning opportunities to engage children, families, teachers, and community members in literacy activities to address summer learning loss through coordination and alignment of resources. Initial school department data indicates more children maintained levels of academic progress over the 2014 summer.- Early screenings of at-risk incoming kindergarten students, which allowed us to identify and encourage families to enroll them in a summer Jump Start program. All children attending this program showed progress in letter identification, sound identification, or both of these important indicators of future academic success.- Donation of over 500 hours to create literacy kits and snack packs to support reading in the kindergarten readiness program by approximately 160 workplace volunteers. 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. United Way coordinates the efforts of Starting Strong, the subcommittee of Portland ConnectED focused on school readiness and grade-level reading proficiency. In 2014, Starting Strong turned from planning to execution of developed strategies, which included:- Hiring a full-time director to oversee the work of Starting Strong.- Conducting community messaging campaigns about the importance of school attendance for Attendance Awareness Month and summer learning for National Summer Learning Day.- Coordinating summer enrichment activities, which involved 38 agencies and organizations across Portland to provide activities at free summer meal sites, and a targeted literacy program for children pre-K to third grade at two meal sites.- Meeting with early childhood care providers and educators to ground our shared definition of school readiness in shared best practices to prepare children for school.- Initiating program design to engage volunteers in the elementary schools for both targeted classroom support and after-school programs. 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. Highlights included:- FY 2013 was the pilot year for the project. Four participating districts have reviewed and revised their district attendance policies, developed teams to monitor attendance data and convened multi-stakeholder teams to create interventions for those students at-risk of chronic absence. Four additional districts will join the consortium for the 2014-15 school year.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.Activities and analysis for the pilot year included:- Review of attendance data for 2013-2014, grouped by <7 days, 8-10 days, 11-17 days, 18+ days- An increase in 2014 in the number of kids absent less than 7 days and a decrease in the rest of the categories, with the biggest change in students with 504 status those experiencing difficulties in school and requiring an individual plan. - Three joint trainings with community partners and school-day staff focused on combating chronic absence.- Overall reduction in kids absent 18 days or more; an encouraging and highly favorable trend.Expanding the program through grade 8 in its second year, SPPSS will continue to focus on behavior and attendance, on identification of students who are off track, and on matching them to timely and appropriate interventions. 5. United Way 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 now for three years, and currently has a total of thirteen active members. Over the past year, the group has met quarterly, and explored some shared investment opportunities. Experts in the field have presented on different issues for young children and families, both from a systemic perspective and from a direct service perspective. One of the more significant activities of the group was to collate investment data from members, recording the total amount and type of early childhood investments in Maine. This information is currently being updated to include the participating United Ways, and will be updated regularly. The total amount of investments over a two year period totaled over $3 million and was primarily focused on direct service activities.6. In partnership with the Sam L. Cohen and John T. Gorman Foundations, United Way supports a mini-grants program at Maine Roads to Quality. Mini-grants are given to childcare centers in an effort to improve their step on the statewide program quality scale. 1662685 1576638 0 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 funds 43 programs at 21 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, United Way works tirelessly to improve lives for thousands of residents in Cumberland County.In collaboration with several community partners, United Way 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 Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center. United Way 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. In FY13, Let's Go! in Cumberland County touched 62,143 youth through their work with 33 schools, 43 early childhood sites, 21 afterschool sites and 21 health care sites. 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 FY14, Let's Go! Cumberland County worked with 179 sites and at year end, 35% (62 sites) were recognized as Sites of Distinction: ten schools, 23 childcare sites, 21 health care sites, and eight afterschool centers received recognition status. This represents an increase from 50 sites the prior year.Statewide evaluation data shows that schools, afterschool programs and early childhood programs are implementing and sustaining strategies that increase healthy eating and physical activity. Statewide, 92% of childcare sites report having great success with providing non-food reward, 82% of schools are providing opportunities for children to get physical activity every day, over 91% of afterschool sites are meeting all five priority strategies, and 97% of health care practices accurately weigh and measure patients. 1726133 1448766 0 FINANCIAL STABILITY: Many people in Greater Portland do not have a stable income that allows them to provide for their basic needs: food, housing, clothing, and utilities. United Way has always taken a strategic approach to addressing critical issues, and financial stability is no exception. Financial stability comes from providing families with the resources and opportunities they need to meet their basic needs. United Way funds 14 programs at 9 partner agencies that focus on income and securing the basics, helping us advance our financial stability goals in the community. From addressing the needs of refugees and immigrants to transportation, legal services, and housing programs, United Way is linking community members to tools 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$H is a year-round resource for the community, offering free income tax preparation to qualified filers during tax season, helping employers bring financial education tools to their employees, and educating hard-working residents about how they can make the most of their money. CA$H connects the community to local programs and services, and utilizes its website, www.cashgp.org, as a financial education clearinghouse. In 2013-2014, CA$H free income tax preparation events returned $1,182,710 in federal and state tax refunds to the local community, and applied for $355,780 in federal earned income tax credits. Additionally, through an expansion of the CA$H program in 2013-2014, 370 Maine families were connected to or opened a Section 529 plan--leveraging $83,250 for higher education funding, and creating the possibility of paying for college for kids who may have never considered it otherwise.2. United Way of Greater Portland serves as the Cumberland County Local Board administrator for 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 31 (August 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014) funding awarded 20 programs at 19 Cumberland County agencies grants totaling $96,292. 2258824 1585828 457212 1. 2-1-1 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. Call 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, 2-1-1 Maine call specialists answered more than 78,000 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 2-1-1 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 funds support additional organizations and agencies in their communities that can help those in need of fuel assistance. 2-1-1 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 $384,000 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 2,500 people, including at least 182 people under two years-old and 339 elderly Mainers.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. Additional expenses are incurred by United Way of Greater Portland to assess community needs and to lead and participate in community partnerships and advocacy to advance our education, financial stability, and health goals. In addition, these expenses support outcome measurement training and assistance to agencies, assist and promote agency collaboration and mergers, support program reviews and selection of program/agency recipients, help solicit and administer grants, and support financial and programmatic oversight.5. Volunteers play a vital role in improving people's lives and reaching our goals in education, financial stability, and health. To this end, United Way works with agencies and corporate partners to secure qualified volunteers and works with volunteers to locate appropriate volunteer opportunities. Through a collaborative effort, United Way offers a statewide, searchable listing of volunteer opportunities at www.volunteermaine.org. This valuable tool allows agencies 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 on how to use it. Additionally, United Way organizes a variety of community events including an annual food drive, National Family Volunteer Day, National Mentoring Month, Literacy Kits for Kids project and dozens of tailor-made volunteer projects for corporate partners. One of the largest and best attended events each year is our Day of Caring, during which nearly 1,000 volunteers dedicate more than 5,000 hours of service to 75 projects at more than 50 different sites. Volunteers on investment teams donate approximately 1,000-1,750 hours per year reviewing partner agencies' alignment with United Way's goals in education, health, and financial stability and awarding funding. 2258824 1585828 457212 7657075 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 13 1 1 48 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 27 26 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Bryan O'Connor 2078741000 One Canal Plaza No 300 Portland ME 04101 Judith Austin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Bruno Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emmanual Caulk Director (part year) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Dalton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lelia DeAndrade Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Elkins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Fischer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 MaryEllen Fitzgerald Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Fletcher Esq Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Garofalo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Gendreau Director (part year) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shawn Gorman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jacquelyn Hedlund MD Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond Kelley Jr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sterling Kozlowski Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Kenneth I Lewis Jr Director (part year) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Novick Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Rayder Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Rosenfield Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Sanders Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deanna Sherman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Swift-Kayatta Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dana Totman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Valenzuela Director (part year) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Wheaton Esq Director (part year) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Williamson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Witherbee Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria Loring Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Albert G Swallow III Chair (part year) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Simonds Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Gregory McCarthy Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Suzanne McCormick Secretary/President/CEO 40.00 1.00 X X 153242 0 14051 Carrie Zeisse Chief Operating Officer 40.00 5.00 X 108368 0 9540 261610 0 23591 2 0 1 0 Oldham Innovative Research 267 Brackett Street Portland ME 04102 Program Data and Evaluation Services 123004 1 115329 8050435 235086 8165764 Service fees 624200 446602 446602 Miscellaneous Revenue 624200 10610 10610 457212 162678 162678 4170703 3639964 530739 530739 530739 9316393 457212 0 693417 X 6127362 6127362 10467 10467 285201 106018 113093 66090 1485727 584830 342047 558850 56667 25347 7078 24242 142676 65598 11421 65657 139034 69035 18680 51319 20816 9299 2654 8863 11554 4504 2656 4394 21675 21675 409078 350072 17843 41163 61541 10955 1488 49098 149941 67116 29140 53685 234881 114729 44228 75924 52102 29890 6349 15863 66386 30408 10198 25780 74446 28395 17802 28249 33952 12950 8119 12883 14146 5395 3383 5368 11014 4705 2292 4017 9408666 7657075 660146 1091445 1529 1175 5580673 5051700 4592177 4580429 35761 26767 45825 56274 422678 275592 179733 147086 6756344 7614468 1174973 1277285 18367015 18755184 487451 298197 387735 416301 3526510 3429825 4401696 4144323 X 6778460 6836705 4128649 4568910 3058210 3205246 13965319 14610861 18367015 18755184 X -92273 673021 64794 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 9485673 8832517 8370907 7962536 8165764 42817397 9485673 8832517 8370907 7962536 8165764 42817397 2533883 40283514 152516 168510 190067 164328 162678 838099 43655496 2249642 0.92280 0.89880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10339 3308 13647 8074061 8087708 554385 138596 0 0 548604 529834 556894 554385 2189717 3284576 21077 12243 14799 13647 61766 137151 132459 139224 138596 547430 821145 4870 9810 10339 25019 0 1 X 6621777 44744 1245572 56184 195772 44264 7615873 6054910 108781 743423 21945 227554 35838 6621777 6053539 326512 -47287 22741 216970 38143 6054910 5131348 44674 1093822 14802 163649 37854 6053539 4811405 43318 482834 14441 158462 33306 5131348 0.55710 0.26630 0.17660 1 0 422678 275592 147086 147086 Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trust 1277285 1277285 Designations payable 3429825 3429825 X 8733250 673021 673021 8060229 1256164 1256164 9316393 8087708 0 8087708 1320958 1320958 9408666 Part IV, Line 2b: United Way Inc. 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.

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 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 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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Sterling Kozlowski and Raymond Kelley, Jr. have a business relationship. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Membership: The membership of United Way, Inc. consists of contributors to the United Way campaign, United Way volunteers, and representatives of providers of human services in the community that are supported financially by United Way, as follows: Individual Members: All individuals who have made a financial contribution to the most recently completed United Way Campaign qualify as contributor members of United Way for the ensuing calendar year. Those individuals who have volunteered for United Way of Greater Portland qualify as volunteer members of United Way for the ensuing calendar year. Organizational Members: Those partner agencies which receive any funding from the Corporation qualify as an agency member of the corporation for the ensuing calendar year, and are entitled to designate a volunteer to represent them as a member of the corporation at any meeting of the members. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Powers: The membership of the Corporation shall have the following powers and authority: (a) To attend the annual meeting and any special meeting(s) of the membership. (b) To receive reports at meetings of the membership. (c) To elect Directors of the Corporation at the Annual Meeting. (d) To enact and amend the bylaws of United Way, Inc. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b See preceeding explanation (line 7a) Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm and thoroughly reviewed by the Vice President of Finance prior to review and approval by the Chief Operating Officer, President, and Board of Directors. 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, Inc.'s Code of Ethics is intended to guide and advance the ethical conduct of both volunteers and staff in carrying out their United Way 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, Inc. or undermine the public's trust in United Way, Inc.'s staff and volunteers. To ensure that the best interests of United Way, Inc. 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, Inc. 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 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. However, during the fiscal year covered by this Form 990, the President of United Way of Greater Portland resigned from the organization effective after the close of the fiscal year. Therefore, the process was not conducted as there was no compensation to be determined for the outgoing President and the new President did not begin until January 2015. In 2014, a policy was implemented to provide for approval by indpendent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the COO's compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 United Way Inc.'s conflict of interest policy and most recent audited financial statements are available on line at www.unitedwaygp.org and its governing documents are available upon request. Form 990, Part IX, Line 25: Indirect Expense Calculation: A calculation of United Way'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 $4.9 million in out-of-area pledges in 2014. 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 2-1-1 Maine are excluded from the Statement of Revenue, as 2-1-1 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, 2014.
