Additionally, United Way addresses basic needs/crisis support through agency partners who provide food, shelter and safety from violence. As of June, 2014, United Way of DuPage/West Cook helped connect 57,778 individuals to a primary care physician, addressed 79,183 instances of barriers to care (language, transportation, finances) and helped 3,046 youth get the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables and physical activity. In our safety net services, we provided 442,538 individuals with a meal or food from a pantry, connected 11,562 people with safety and services in situations of domestic violence, and 126,151 people with financial assistance to stay in their home. 653764 624150 Income Employment, financial literacy and income supports are the three pillars of United Way's work in income. Securing the financial stability of more households is part of the three-legged stool of education, income and health which is at the heart of United Way's efforts to improve lives in DuPage West Cook. In the last year, United Way of DuPage/West Cook programs improved the economic stability of 5,415 households. We placed 1,101 people in jobs that they retained after 90 days, connected 4,314 to new income supports/benefits and educated 919 people in financial literacy. 680147 649338 DESIGNATIONS TO OTHER 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS PAID DIRECTLY BY THE DONOR AND OTHER EXEMPT PURPOSES.

("UWMC") IS AN ILLINOIS NON-PROFIT PHILANTHROPIC CORPORATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES IN THE METROPOLITAN CHICAGO AREA BY MOBILIZING CARING PEOPLE TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEIR RESOURCES ARE NEEDED THE MOST. AS OF JUNE 30, 2014, UWMC HAD THREE MEMBER UNITED WAYS ("MUWS"): SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN UNITED WAY UNITED WAY OF DUPAGE/WEST COOK UNITED WAY NORTH-NORTHWEST EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013, NORTHWEST SUBURBAN UNITED WAY AND NORTH SHORE UNITED WAY MERGED TO FORM UNITED WAY NORTH-NORTHWEST. THE VISION OF UWMC AND THE MUWS IS THAT METROPOLITAN CHICAGO BECOMES A REGION OF THRIVING COMMUNITIES WHERE ALL INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THE CHALLENGES FACING COMMUNITIES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA ARE COMPLEX AND MULTI-FACETED, REQUIRING TAILORED, LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THESE ISSUES. TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, UWMC AND THE MUWS ARE FOCUSED ON GENERATING AND COORDINATING DONOR RESOURCES, COLLABORATING WITH SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS AND ENGAGING GOVERNMENT AND CIVIC LEADERS TO DELIVER LASTING SOLUTIONS TO THESE COMPLEX COMMUNITY CHALLENGES ACROSS THE REGION. UWMC AND THE MUWS IMPLEMENTED A REGION-WIDE PLAN TO ENSURE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT BY 2020. THE PLAN FOCUSES ON THE 60 COMMUNITIES OF GREATEST NEED IN THE REGION, AND INCLUDES REGIONAL STRATEGIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS. THE KEY TO LASTING COMMUNITY CHANGE IS TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE COMPLEX ISSUES THAT INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS FACE BY FOCUSING ON THREE KEY LEVERS - EDUCATION, INCOME AND HEALTH. UWMC AND THE MUWS ALSO FOCUS ON SAFETY NET ISSUES TO ENSURE THAT THE BASIC NEEDS - FOOD, SHELTER AND SAFETY - FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ARE MET. THE PLAN INCLUDED FOUR HIGH VALUE OUTCOMES TO BE ACHIEVED OVER 10 YEARS: 1) HELP 50,000 UNDERPERFORMING MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ENTER HIGH SCHOOL READY TO SUCCEED 2) ADVANCE ECONOMIC STABILITY FOR 100,000 HOUSEHOLDS 3) CONNECT OVER 200,000 PEOPLE WITH AVAILABLE, PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SERVICES 4) ANSWER THE CRISIS NEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION PEOPLE EVERY YEAR BY PROVIDING FOOD, SHELTER AND FREEDOM FROM VIOLENCE SINCE IMPLEMENTING THE IMPACT PLAN, UWMC AND THE MUWS HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARD THOSE GOALS: 1) 34,992 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE/BE PROMOTED TO NEXT GRADE LEVEL, REPRESENTING 70% OF THE 2020 GOAL. 2) 65,189 HOUSEHOLDS HAVE IMPROVED THEIR ECONOMIC STABILITY, 65% OF THE 2020 GOAL. 3) 265,643 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, EXCEEDING THE 2020 GOAL AT 133%. 4) FOR FY14, 858,518 PEOPLE IN CRISIS WERE PROVIDED WITH FOOD, SHELTER AND SAFETY, REPRESENTING 86% OF THE ANNUAL GOAL. TO FURTHER ADDRESS THE COMPLEX CHALLENGES IN COMMUNITIES OF GREATEST NEED THROUGHOUT THE REGION, UNITED WAY DEVELOPED THE LIVE UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK (LUNN) INITIATIVE. THE LUNN INITIATIVE UTILIZES A COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL TO GUIDE STRATEGIES WITH PARTNERS, COORDINATE PROGRAMMING, AND COLLABORATE ON MEASUREMENT. THE FIRST LUNN WAS LAUNCHED IN MARCH 2013 IN BRIGHTON PARK AND HAS DELIVERED SIGNIFICANT RESULTS ACROSS ALL DIMENSIONS INCLUDING: - EDUCATION - FRESHMEN ON TRACK AT THE MAIN HIGH SCHOOL GREW FROM 74% TO 84%, SURPASSING THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AVERAGE OF 82% - INCOME - 303 FAMILIES RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $591K IN TAX REFUNDS THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GONE UNCLAIMED - HEALTH - 4,885 PEOPLE LEARNED HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR DIET AND EXERCISE HABITS THROUGH HEALTH PROMOTER PROGRAMS THE SECOND LUNN WAS LAUNCHED IN AUGUST 2014 IN WEST CHICAGO AND EIGHT ADDITIONAL LUNNS WILL BE LAUNCHED IN FY15 AND FY16. THE CRITICAL WORK OF UWMC AND THE MUWS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES AND SUPPORT IS RAISED THROUGH A DIVERSIFIED REVENUE MODEL. UWMC AND THE MUWS CONDUCT WORKPLACE GIVING CAMPAIGNS, RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL AND MAJOR GIFTS, ARE AWARDED GRANTS AND ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND OTHER organizations. UWMC AND THE MUWS RAISED $55.0M FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, UP 6.5% FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. THIS SUCCESS WAS BASED ON THE DIVERSIFICATION OF REVENUE STREAMS, INCLUDING NEW STRATEGIC CORPORATE PARTNER GIFTS AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS. THE TRANSFORMATION OF COMMUNITIES INVOLVES INVESTING IN COORDINATED SOLUTIONS AND, IMPORTANTLY, CONNECTING DONORS TO THEIR INVESTMENTS.
