United Way of the Columbia-Willamette
Programs
Program 1 [2018]
Transformation Grants - The Community Transformation Strategy is envisioned as a collective impact model with a long-term focus on transforming communities. United Way is focusing on breaking the cycle of childhood poverty by investing in the highest need communities across our region to improve educational outcomes for young people, stabilize the families in which they live, and build strong and connected communities around them. (See Schedule O for more information) United Way has selected one collaborative to invest in through the Community Transformation strategy. The community collaborative consists of a number of organizations and/or groups from different sectors that are working together in alignment with UWCW's new strategic goals of successful kids, stable families and connected communities. UWCW is engaging with the collaborative as a partner in a planning process to co-create a business and work plan that achieves the results outlined by the collaborative to create impact in their community. Safety Net Grants - The Safety Net funding strategy is designed to provide critical aid for our most vulnerable families through short-term, non-competitive investments in supportive programs that provide housing, food, heat, utilities and other essential needs for individuals that, due to an unforeseen personal crisis, disaster or emergency in their lives, would benefit from additional assistance. Safety Net partnerships are one-year in length and the grant amount varies by organization.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$4.2MProgram 2 [2018]

Early Learning Hubs - Early Learning Multnomah (ELM) and Early Learning Washington County are two of sixteen state-designated early learning hubs throughout Oregon. Oregon's early learning hubs are designed to create an aligned and coordinated early childhood system of services and supports for families to ensure that children have what they need to thrive in school and life. (See Schedule O for more information) Each hub is working locally to make early learning resources and supports more available, more accessible, and more effective for children and families that have historically been underrepresented in services. Operating since May 2014, ELM is jointly managed by the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and Multnomah County. United Way of the Columbia-Willamette serves as the lead agency and overall project manager with fiscal and program accountability to the State of Oregon's Early Learning Division and the Early Learning Council. Multnomah County provides program development, procurement, contract management and monitoring functions on behalf of services funded through Early Learning Multnomah. ELM staff are housed in both agencies. Early Learning Washington County - co-convened by United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and Washington County, focuses on improving educational outcomes for children in Washington County.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$8.9M
