Programs
Program 1 [2021]
Sector Support: United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) addresses Central Indiana's most pressing needs in education, financial stability, health, and basic needs. Much of this work was accomplished in fiscal year 2020/21 through support of accredited CBOs across the human services spectrum. These CBOs are part of a rigorous evaluation process that assesses organizational governance; leadership; diversity, equity & inclusion; financial stability; strategic planning; community responsiveness; sustainability & scalability; and ability to market and engage funders to support their work . UWCI also supports these CBOs' general operations through donor designated and other directed gifts ($2.5m); capital projects ($3.1m), technology ($917k) and facilities maintenance and Covid-19 facilities modification grants ($4.7m); and evaluation, capacity building, contingency, staff support, and other activities. In addition, UWCI administers donor designated dollars to a wide range of unaffiliated organizations across the non-profit sector ($3.0m across over 1,000 organizations).GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$15MProgram 2 [2021]
Basic Needs Initiatives: Food. Shelter. Health. Transportation. Our Basic Needs work provides support to our most vulnerable neighbors and life-saving assistance to those in crisis situations - helping those in immediate need survive today so they can thrive tomorrow. UWCI accomplishes this through a number of programs and activities: In 2020/21 UWCI granted $8.8m to 58 organizations through our Basic Needs Impact Fund. These grants helped 17,582 struggling individuals access and retain affordable housing; 52,702 access healthy food and nutrition programs; 28,244 access physical, mental & behavioral health supports; and 12,387 access transportation options. UWCI also administers the federal Emergency Food & Shelter to provide food and shelter assistance to hungry and homeless individuals in Central Indiana. We also engage in a number of other Basic Needs programs including a homeless initiative designed to support Marion County's "Blueprint to End Homelessess"; Behavioral Health Courts designed to address the mental health and often co-existing substance abuse of individuals in the criminal justice system; transportation supports for seniors; and winter assistance for those ineligible for the federal energy assistance. Last fiscal year UWCI administered the Central Indiana Covid-19 Community Economic Relief Fund (C-CERF) in partnership with Lilly Endowment Inc., Central Indiana Community Foundation (through the Glick Fund and The Indianapolis Foundation), Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, and Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust. This fund, launched on March 13, 2020 raised and deployed more than $23m last year and another $3.6m this fiscal year to more than 180 diverse community organizations and nonprofits serving individuals and families affected by the pandemic.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$14.6MProgram 3 [2021]
Family Opportunity Initiatives: Our Family Opportunity work supports integrated programs that improve the education, financial stability and overall health of the whole family. By intentionally working with parents, caregivers and children together, we create pathways for success and give families the tools needed to secure long-term stability and a brighter future. In 2020/21 UWCI awarded $6.0m in grants to 25 CBOs through our Family Opportunity Impact Fund. These grants served 2,551 families. These 2Gen programs don't stop with just income, employment and budgeting supports. They are meant to wrap around an entire family and improve health and well-being. This year, UWCI wrapped up its multi-year Great Families 2020 Program. Funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service ($7m) plus a $1:$1 match funded by UWCI and other private funders, this grant was our entry into the 2Gen work with 8 partners, providing us with learnings and a framework for our broader Family Opportunity strategies. As part of our overall Family Opportunity Initiatives, UWCI also provided $1.5m to 11 Centers for Working Families (CWF). Built on an evidence-based model developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation the CWF network is designed to provide families with the financial capabilities, strategies and tools needed to put them on the path to financial stability. These investments provided 4,217 individuals with a range of services including employment counseling, and financial counseling, income supports counseling resulting in employment opportunities, increased net work, increased credit scores, and increased net income.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$13.7M
