Editor's Notes
We’ve actually been in the Keys since 1981.The bottom bullet really means that we’re trying hard to run things like a business. By measurable outcomes there I mean I’m starting to focus us on, for instance at the food pantries: are we reducing the cost per pound of food that the pantry purchases? Right now, we have several food pantries in operation throughout the keys and the demand has risen drastically. Right now, only one of these is getting funding from United Way, and we are offering these food pantries a source of funding but only if they can work together to bring down the cost of food per pound, and use common distribution networks so we increase the reliability of food transport and can decrease the cost of distribution for every pantry.

Wesley House for example is a good example of this leveraging. For every dollar we bring them through our campaign they can pull down $16 in state and federal matching funds.We also go through each applicant agency’s financial such as the IRS Form 990, and look closely at the administrative overhead ratio, as well as whether there is duplication of efforts between agencies.

This is our current list of agencies. We are planning to double our revenue over the next three years, so we have more to work with to enable real change in our focus areas. We will still fund these agencies over the next three years, but we are moving toward something like an RFP for services but where service providers show us how their program can help meet the community needs and then we have reporting mechanisms in place where they check in with us and show us their measurable results. This also helps incentivize those agencies to work together which should reduce duplication of efforts.
I do want to acknowledge your support of United Way to date. (Speak about what you know again of their participation with United Ways as a nationwide business or as a local supporter of UWFK. Acknowledge their known community service. Check the donor list and see if they are top contributors for 2009. This list does not include all donors, just biggest ones so add the site you are visiting to the bottom of the list if they are not on it and they were a donor in 2009. This list is in order of how much they donated, with BB&T donating $5000 last year and Publix $58,000.) This is not an exhaustive list, just a few of the top donors.
We fund our non-profits primarily through the workplace campaign, where payroll deductions of very small amounts, even say $5 a paycheck, for an individual can add up when pooled with lots of others.We are planning a Day of Caring event for January 17th so stay tuned, and contact us or fill in your email address on your pledge form if you want to be on out mailing list for local fundraising events and volunteer opportunities such as this.
