Dear Volunteers, Supporters, Partners and Friends: At this time of year, when our campaign comes to a close, we want to publicly thank and acknowledge all of you who give to our community through Franklin-Grand Isle United Way. It is with great pleasure that we offer this annual report, highlighting 2014-2015, our 35th year. Our campaign theme, “Be a Superhero for your Community”, encourages everyone to step up and make the world a better place. The key to being a superhero for your community is caring enough for others to want to make your com-munity a better place for everyone: sharing what you have and making self- sacrifice for the common good. We found that there are many, many superheroes among us. We have witnessed countless community heroes who care for others and improve lives throughout Franklin and Grand Isle Counties by volunteering, donating, advocating and serving. Some of the heroes I’d like to thank are the businesses, employees, and individuals who support our campaign each year. This year Mylan Technologies and its employees had a phenomenal campaign- increasing over 37% from last year. Key area employers such as Northwestern Medical Center, Perrigo Nutritionals, and Rock-Tenn Company con-tinue to increase their investment in our local communities through highly successful campaigns as well. This year over seventeen hundred employees, individuals, and local businesses from around the region donated to the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way, allowing our funded programs to help one out of every three members of our community. Thanks to your generosity and the tireless work of our non-profit partners, together we are building a brighter tomor-row. Please read this report for more information on how your gift improves lives right here in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. I’d like to thank our hard working, flexible, and dedicated staff who made our work possible: Lori Coseo, Alex Lehning, Drena Voyer, and Sally Bortz. A special thanks to Sally, an amazing Superhero, who has worked at Franklin-Grand Isle United Way for ten years, the last three as Executive Director. Sally will be leaving in May, moving up-ward and onward. We will miss her strong and passionate leadership and appreciate how well she has positioned us for future success. Lastly, I’d like to thank our Board of Directors for their leadership and commitment. They are dedicated to our mis-sion and take their responsibility to our donors and community seriously. Like many nonprofits in today’s economic and social environment, we find it more and more challenging to raise funds and accomplish our mission. However, we are exploring ways to ensure our continued health and are optimistic about the future. We anticipate several changes in the upcoming year that will make our Franklin-Grand Isle United Way even stronger. It has been an honor to serve the community as President of the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of a community that demonstrates how to LIVE UNITED every day in so many ways. There tru-ly are superheroes among us. Terri O’Shea

Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence

Health – Improving People’s Physical, Mental and Social Well-being

Education – Helping Individuals Achieve Their Potential

What is the mission and vision of the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way?

Our missions is to improve lives by connecting people and resources to find solutions to our area’s most pressing needs. Our vision is to have a community where all individuals and families are able to achieve their greatest potential through education, income stability and healthy lives.

What does United Way do?

• United Way raises, invests and leverages philanthropic contributions to benefit residents right here in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties

• We convene public/private partnerships with businesses, community members, government and non-profit organizations

• We mobilize community members to volunteer, learn more about local issues, take action, and make a real difference in their community

• We bring people together and connect all sectors of society around social and economic issues that are important to our region

• We hold ourselves accountable to this cause

Advancing the Common Good through Community Impact

United Way works to assess all of the needs in our area and then develops strategies to address those concerns. Our efforts include researching data around an issue, working with area coalitions to identify-ing gaps in service, developing new programs, and engaging community in education and awareness to help create lasting social change. This is Community Impact, and it takes us far beyond our traditional fundraising role. While United Way works to address root causes of important community issues for long-term, lasting change, we realize that there are individuals in who need our support right now, and we continue to fund a network of strong local services. We focus our work on the building blocks for successful lives and communities—access to quality Health, Income, and Education opportunities.

HEALTH United Way believes a healthy region is a strong region, and our health under-pins our ability to thrive at home, school and work. We know how important it is to connect our most vulnerable neighbors with the resources they need to lead healthier lives. United Way funds are awarded to support programs fo-cused on health education/prevention and health treatment/services, including programs that:

• Increase access to healthcare • Foster safe community and homes • Encourage healthy choices

EVENTS AND INITIATIVES

Hungry Heart United Way continues the important conversations started in 2013 around opiate addiction and working with community members to address and understand the challenges of substance abuse. United Way works with the Franklin-Grand Isle Regional Community Opiate Addiction Workgroup– Preven-tion Coalition to explore local opportunities to educate and inform our commu-nities while helping youth build skills and resiliency to navigate and understand this complex and difficult issue.

Dodgeball 2014-2015 saw not one, but two dodgeball tournaments! Over 100 players came out each time to test their skills and have some fun while supporting the work of United Way. For three years running, Camp Rainbow, a day camp for children with Autism operated through North-western Counseling & Support Services, has staffed a championship team– taking home the trophy for yet another year. Are they unbeatable?

Community Partners Classic Golf Tournament Now in our ninth year, in partnership with Northwestern Medical Center and North-western Counseling & Support Services, the golf tournament contin-ues to be a great way to join with over 200 friends from the busi-ness community as we share a day outside enjoying Vermont and the Champlain Country Club. The 2014 Community Partners Golf Tournament was once again a fantastic event raising almost $47,000 to support United Way and these great partners.

EDUCATION Our aspiration is that all youth in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties will have multiple opportunities to learn, which will help them achieve their potential. Therefore, we invest in initiatives and programs that encourage creativity, nurture natural curiosity, and help develop protective factors so youth can succeed. United Way is currently focusing on three primary are-as to support education in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties:

• Ensuring all children are ready to enter school • Identifying supports to stay on track • Planning for success in work, college and life


Regional Truancy Project In 2011, Franklin-Grand Isle United Way funded programming led by the Community Justice Center of St. Albans that took a holistic approach to excessive absences, by engaging the entire family in a conference setting. Through this initiative a larger grant was secured, and a lo-cal Prevention Policy Board was formed which met regularly at United Way. The grant work was completed in 2014 and new and consistent proto-cols around truancy were developed throughout our area as a result of this work.

Learning United This year’s event featured representation from many of our funded partners, for a fantastic Kids Fair, with 12 interactive educational sta-tion, free food, and fun for all. With some local superheroes on hand including George DeCell as Batman and Jonathan Billings as Captain America, over 100

children and their families attended this great St Albans event sponsored by Mylan Technologies.

Fill the Bus This year, with the help of the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation and our local Walmart, shoppers were able to “fill the bus” with much needed supplies! Working alongside ten area schools, United Way was able to ensure that local students in need received the tools necessary to start the school year off right.

Big Shabang This year marked the first time United Way hosted the Big Shabang at Knights Point State Park in North Hero. With over 500 peo-ple in attendance, this family-friendly event was all about sharing infor-mation and local resources with a focus on healthy food and fun activi-ties for all ages. In partnership with Friends of Northern Lake Cham-plain, our theme, Healthy Kids+Healthy Lake=A Healthy Vermont!,

combined education and hands-on fun, making a great day for everyone. We plan to contin-ue offering this great opportunity on a biennial basis.

The 2014 Big Shabang! in Grand Isle County

The United Way 2014-15 campaign year was certainly a fun one, with local heroes emerging throughout the year. United Way volunteers were empowered as they pre-sented in capes and masks, and community members enjoyed the opportunity to reveal their inner superheroes!

The campaign kicked off, led by a great committee of supporters, as United Way hosted a fun run with

heroes of all ages making their debut. The pacesetting school campaigns got us off to a great start, surpassing their goal of $10,000. A few area principals graciously joined in

on the superhero action. Local businesses supported United Way by raising over $140,000 and we know there are no shortage of caped crusaders in this very giving community!

Employee giving through workplace campaigns, (a vital part of United Way fundraising), brought in over $215,000 in annual sup-port for our region. Mylan employees broke their own record, with a generous corporate match and year-round event sponsorship sup-port as well. In total, this community partner was able to donate over $72,000 to benefit residents right here in Franklin and Grand

Isle Counties.

Our friends at Northwestern Medical Center were definitely in the superhero spirit! The hospital always seems to find a way to have fun with their United Way campaign. Support for our mission and the community by NMC employees and leadership is truly amazing!

Hundreds of generous individuals made charitable do-nations this year totaling over $30,000- giving and car-

ing for ones friends and neighbors is what makes this such a special place to live. Thanks to Tim & Denise Smith for not only their own generous giving, but offering to represent what it means to be a local hero by agreeing to be photographed for our campaign mate-rials!

Special events filled the calendar, and raised over $96,000 and opened the door to some new caped crusaders to add to our growing list! This year we had our first ever Shoe Drive (still ongoing!) which has brought in over 1,000 pair of shoes to date. These shoes join with a global effort to repurpose materials, provide a local fundraising opportunity to support a Youth Center project, and help clean out local closets!

A special thanks goes out to a strong United Way Board of Directors and amazing

staff. This group of caring community members ensured that United Way was able to exceed the total raised over last year and the campaign landed at a solid $484,745 ,putting us at just about 97% of the goal.

Thanks to local supporters, hundreds of thousands of dollars are allocated right back out into the community and local partners offering important services to keep our com-munity healthy and strong can count on another year of solid support from United Way! Clearly it takes a village. A village of everyday superheroes ensuring we all look out for one another and remembering what a real superpower giving can be.

United Way believes that everyone deserves to have a job which allows them to provide for their family and save for their future. We envision a community where all households may achieve their goal of becoming self-sufficient. Franklin-Grand Isle United Way volunteers and investors support programs that help neighbors on the path to financial stability through a number of different strategies and programs that:

• Ensure basic needs are met - this may include emergency assistance, housing/shelter, food assistance, disaster response, & information and referral programs

• Work to develop affordable housing • Increase job skill training & employment opportunities • Provide financial education

INCOME

Food Shelves Unite! This year Franklin-Grand Isle United Way, with the help of interns Rose Johnson and Jennifer McAllister, was able to convene several regional food shelf meetings. These gatherings were found to be so useful and informative by our partners working in the area of food insecurity, that United Way now facilitates an ongoing series with local speakers and experts on relevant topics. These food shelf meetings have grown in size and scope, and with the help of Hunger Free Vermont, United Way has begun the work of building a local Hunger Council to address these issues and concerns, with representation from around the region.

Operation Happiness 2014 was another great year for Operation Happiness. Satellite loca-tions around the region expanded their capacity, and over 1,100 families were served throughout every town within our two county region. Thank you to Operation Happiness organizers Sally Sargent, Karin Berno, and Marilyn Billings, pictured at right, for coordinating this ongoing community holiday program.

Tax Assistance Beginning in 2012, our United Way and others across the country partnered with Walmart to offer tax assistance software at no cost to income eligible residents. Through our website, residents were able to access a user-friendly program and file both state and federal re-

turns. Our hope is to increase utilization of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a benefit for working people who have low to moderate income.

FUNDED PROGRAMS

The United Way 2014-15 campaign year was certainly a fun one, with local heroes emerging throughout the year. United Way volunteers were empowered as they pre-sented in capes and masks, and community members enjoyed the opportunity to reveal their inner superheroes!

The campaign kicked off, led by a great committee of supporters, as United Way hosted a fun run with

heroes of all ages making their debut. The pacesetting school campaigns got us off to a great start, surpassing their goal of $10,000. A few area principals graciously joined in

on the superhero action. Local businesses supported United Way by raising over $140,000 and we know there are no shortage of caped crusaders in this very giving community!

Employee giving through workplace campaigns, (a vital part of United Way fundraising), brought in over $215,000 in annual sup-port for our region. Mylan employees broke their own record, with a generous corporate match and year-round event sponsorship sup-port as well. In total, this community partner was able to donate over $72,000 to benefit residents right here in Franklin and Grand

Isle Counties.

Our friends at Northwestern Medical Center were definitely in the superhero spirit! The hospital always seems to find a way to have fun with their United Way campaign. Support for our mission and the community by NMC employees and leadership is truly amazing!

Hundreds of generous individuals made charitable do-nations this year totaling over $30,000- giving and car-

ing for ones friends and neighbors is what makes this such a special place to live. Thanks to Tim & Denise Smith for not only their own generous giving, but offering to represent what it means to be a local hero by agreeing to be photographed for our campaign mate-rials!

Special events filled the calendar, and raised over $96,000 and opened the door to some new caped crusaders to add to our growing list! This year we had our first ever Shoe Drive (still ongoing!) which has brought in over 1,000 pair of shoes to date. These shoes join with a global effort to repurpose materials, provide a local fundraising opportunity to support a Youth Center project, and help clean out local closets!

A special thanks goes out to a strong United Way Board of Directors and amazing

EDUCATION Our aspiration is that all youth in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties will have multiple opportunities to learn, which will help them achieve their potential. Therefore, we invest in initiatives and programs that encourage creativity, nurture natural curiosity, and help develop protective factors so youth can succeed. United Way is currently focusing on three primary are-as to support education in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties:

• Ensuring all children are ready to enter school • Identifying supports to stay on track • Planning for success in work, college and life


Regional Truancy Project In 2011, Franklin-Grand Isle United Way funded programming led by the Community Justice Center of St. Albans that took a holistic approach to excessive absences, by engaging the entire family in a conference setting. Through this initiative a larger grant was secured, and a lo-cal Prevention Policy Board was formed which met regularly at United Way. The grant work was completed in 2014 and new and consistent proto-cols around truancy were developed throughout our area as a result of this work.

Learning United This year’s event featured representation from many of our funded partners, for a fantastic Kids Fair, with 12 interactive educational sta-tion, free food, and fun for all. With some local superheroes on hand including George DeCell as Batman and Jonathan Billings as Captain America, over 100

children and their families attended this great St Albans event sponsored by Mylan Technologies.

Fill the Bus This year, with the help of the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation and our local Walmart, shoppers were able to “fill the bus” with much needed supplies! Working alongside ten area schools, United Way was able to ensure that local students in need received the tools necessary to start the school year off right.

Big Shabang This year marked the first time United Way hosted the Big Shabang at Knights Point State Park in North Hero. With over 500 peo-ple in attendance, this family-friendly event was all about sharing infor-mation and local resources with a focus on healthy food and fun activi-ties for all ages. In partnership with Friends of Northern Lake Cham-plain, our theme, Healthy Kids+Healthy Lake=A Healthy Vermont!,

combined education and hands-on fun, making a great day for everyone. We plan to contin-ue offering this great opportunity on a biennial basis.

HEALTH United Way believes a healthy region is a strong region, and our health under-pins our ability to thrive at home, school and work. We know how important it is to connect our most vulnerable neighbors with the resources they need to lead healthier lives. United Way funds are awarded to support programs fo-cused on health education/prevention and health treatment/services, including programs that:

• Increase access to healthcare • Foster safe community and homes • Encourage healthy choices


Hungry Heart United Way continues the important conversations started in 2013 around opiate addiction and working with community members to address and understand the challenges of substance abuse. United Way works with the Franklin-Grand Isle Regional Community Opiate Addiction Workgroup– Preven-tion Coalition to explore local opportunities to educate and inform our commu-nities while helping youth build skills and resiliency to navigate and understand this complex and difficult issue.

Dodgeball 2014-2015 saw not one, but two dodgeball tournaments! Over 100 players came out each time to test their skills and have some fun while supporting the work of United Way. For three years running, Camp Rainbow, a day camp for children with Autism operated through North-western Counseling & Support Services, has staffed a championship team– taking home the trophy for yet another year. Are they unbeatable?

Community Partners Classic Golf Tournament Now in our ninth year, in partnership with Northwestern Medical Center and North-western Counseling & Support Services, the golf tournament contin-ues to be a great way to join with over 200 friends from the busi-ness community as we share a day outside enjoying Vermont and the Champlain Country Club. The 2014 Community Partners Golf Tournament was once again a fantastic event raising almost $47,000 to support United Way and these great partners.

Dear Volunteers, Supporters, Partners and Friends: At this time of year, when our campaign comes to a close, we want to publicly thank and acknowledge all of you who give to our community through Franklin-Grand Isle United Way. It is with great pleasure that we offer this annual report, highlighting 2014-2015, our 35th year. Our campaign theme, “Be a Superhero for your Community”, encourages everyone to step up and make the world a better place. The key to being a superhero for your community is caring enough for others to want to make your com-munity a better place for everyone: sharing what you have and making self- sacrifice for the common good. We found that there are many, many superheroes among us. We have witnessed countless community heroes who care for others and improve lives throughout Franklin and Grand Isle Counties by volunteering, donating, advocating and serving. Some of the heroes I’d like to thank are the businesses, employees, and individuals who support our campaign each year. This year Mylan Technologies and its employees had a phenomenal campaign- increasing over 37% from last year. Key area employers such as Northwestern Medical Center, Perrigo Nutritionals, and Rock-Tenn Company con-tinue to increase their investment in our local communities through highly successful campaigns as well. This year over seventeen hundred employees, individuals, and local businesses from around the region donated to the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way, allowing our funded programs to help one out of every three members of our community. Thanks to your generosity and the tireless work of our non-profit partners, together we are building a brighter tomor-row. Please read this report for more information on how your gift improves lives right here in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. I’d like to thank our hard working, flexible, and dedicated staff who made our work possible: Lori Coseo, Alex Lehning, Drena Voyer, and Sally Bortz. A special thanks to Sally, an amazing Superhero, who has worked at Franklin-Grand Isle United Way for ten years, the last three as Executive Director. Sally will be leaving in May, moving up-ward and onward. We will miss her strong and passionate leadership and appreciate how well she has positioned us for future success. Lastly, I’d like to thank our Board of Directors for their leadership and commitment. They are dedicated to our mis-sion and take their responsibility to our donors and community seriously. Like many nonprofits in today’s economic and social environment, we find it more and more challenging to raise funds and accomplish our mission. However, we are exploring ways to ensure our continued health and are optimistic about the future. We anticipate several changes in the upcoming year that will make our Franklin-Grand Isle United Way even stronger. It has been an honor to serve the community as President of the Franklin-Grand Isle United Way. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of a community that demonstrates how to LIVE UNITED every day in so many ways. There tru-ly are superheroes among us. Terri O’Shea
