4. October 2008
In communities nationwide, United Way is working to advance
the common good by creating opportunities in education,
income and health that will lead to a better life for all people. Our
partnership with more than 12 million individuals and thousands
of businesses and organizations drives the strategies that make
this goal possible. Thank you for your continued support.
In 2007 United Way of America, together with 1,300 local United
Ways, led many efforts to bring positive, sustainable change in
communities. We believe the most effective way to make a difference
in the lives of others is to act collectively, across sectors and borders.
In 2007, United Way made progress in several key areas.
We:
• Established the United Way Financial Stability Partnership™,
expanding Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach and
free tax preparation in 33 communities nationally, serving
more than 225,000 low-to-moderate-income taxpayers and
returning $269 million in total tax returns to communities
• Expanded the Born Learning awareness and
engagement campaign to 700 markets and 6 million parents
• Celebrated the 10th anniversary of 2-1-1 (the easy-to-remember
number that connects people needing or giving help) by
growing service to 72 percent of the U.S. population
• Increased revenue to more than $4 billion.
This annual report includes details about these and other
accomplishments, as well as the audited financial statements
that ensure accountability of our operations. Thank you for
your interest in and continued commitment to our efforts.
Sincerely,
Brian Gallagher
President & Chief Executive Officer

vision
we build a stronger america by mobilizing our
communities to improve people’s lives.
United Way is a national network of nearly 1,300 local organizations working to
advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These
are the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable
job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
United Way of America is the national organization dedicated to leading the
United Way movement. Local United Ways create long-lasting community
change by addressing the underlying causes of the most significant local
issues. Common focus areas include helping children and youth achieve their
potential, promoting financial stability and independence, and improving
people’s health. It takes everyone in the community working together to create
a brighter future. So we bring together people from all across the community–
government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, the labor movement, ordinary
citizens–to tackle the issues. Because we all win when a child succeeds in school,
when a family becomes financially stable, when people have good health.

In 2007, United Way of America
partnered with United Way International
in an intense visioning and business
planning process to create a truly global
United Way network. This work was done in
partnership with United Way leaders from
Canada, Columbia, Hungary, Jamaica, Korea,
South Africa, Venezuela, and the United States and was informed by a host of other valued stakeholders from
around the world. Their vision was to create a network that leverages learning, resources and reputation that
will, in turn, help to expand and deepen the capacity of local and national United Ways around the globe.
In June, the Boards authorized the establishment of a Global Transition Board to implement the vision for
a global United Way network and system. The Transition Board launched in December and was charged
with executing a vigorous stakeholder engagement strategy; designing governance elements for the future
global organization and system; and all due diligence related to incorporating the new global organization.
The Transition Board was convened by Chair Steve Richardson, Senior Vice President, Organization
Capabilities and Chief Talent Officer, American Express Company, and included leaders from Australia,
