You only need to meet Eileen Rodriguez once to see how much she appreciates the blessings in her life. Eileen loves her job, and she enjoys living in a comfortable home with her young daughter, Leslie. However, things weren’t always so perfect for the Tupperware® Brands employee who served as an inspirational speaker at the Sixth Annual United Way Women’s Leadership Luncheon.
Two years ago, Eileen was jobless, and she and her daughter were facing eviction from their home. Eileen’s previous employer had filed for bankruptcy and laid her off – leaving her with no income or job benefits.
Every morning she would wake up with hopes that today would be the day someone would call her for an interview. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, but no calls came.
“Worry started to set in as I not only had to feed myself, but I also had to find a way to feed my daughter,” she said.
“It was because of her that I knew I had to find something, someone or someplace that I could turn to for help.”
Eileen had been denied public assistance, spent her savings, and her friends and family were unable to help. With resources depleted, she called United Way 2-1-1 and was placed in touch with a partner agency to schedule a qualification interview.
The agency paid Eileen’s rent and electric bill and allowed her to take food from its food pantry. Even more important, they counseled her on how to create a balanced budget so she could get back on her feet again. Thanks to United Way, Eileen was able to survive the crisis until she could find a new job.
“I am living proof that United Way is carrying out its mission to create opportunities for a better life for all,” she said.

Dear Friend,
Achieving large-scale impact in education, income, health and homelessness in Central Florida requires a collective effort, which means organizing cross-sector collaborations to drive positive change. Heart of Florida United Way’s (HFUW) vision is for us to engage all citizens to work together to build healthy, safe, caring and strong communities.
However, despite a slowly rebounding economy, many of our neighbors struggle to thrive. Nearly 20% of Central Florida families are living below the poverty level. Almost 40% of children are not proficient in reading. Furthermore, 67% of adults are overweight or obese.
Fortunately, thanks to a generous community, United Way has been the bridge that connects those in need with the resources they require to survive and recover. We are proud to have a broad range of partners – individuals and organizations – who have willingly joined with us in building collective networks to help us all reach our full potential.
Perhaps the greatest example of their generosity is the outstanding success of our 2012-2013 Workplace Campaign, which raised $17.5 million. These dollars account for the
largest portion of the $24.5 million that United Way raised, managed or distributed last year to help see our community through these difficult times.
In all, more than 400,000 tri-county residents received critical assistance through United Way-funded programs last year. Nearly 150,000 of those residents found help through 2-1-1, United Way’s free, 24-hour information referral and crisis helpline. Many others were helped through the United Way Stewardship Program, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the FamilyWize Prescription Discount Program and other important programs whose impact you’ll see highlighted in this annual report.
Through our strategic efforts in Investing in Results, we are also moving the needle on poverty, hunger, homelessness, low graduation rates and other critical issues that impact individual lives, as well as the health of our entire community.
So on behalf of Heart of Florida United Way, our Board of Directors and staff, we thank you for heeding our call to Give, Advocate and Volunteer. Together, we can change lives and build a stronger community where all individuals and families thrive.
A JOINT MESSAGEFROM THE BOARD CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT/CEO
Thank you for LIVING UNITED.

Investing in ResultsHeart of Florida United Way is moving in a bold direction focused on prevention. Building on our tradition of helping millions of Central Floridians since 1939, by focusing on prevention, as opposed to intervention, HFUW believes it can change the course for future generations of children and families.
Research shows that for every dollar spent on prevention, a minimum of $7 is saved on intervention.
Therefore, Heart of Florida United Way has put a stake in the ground and is declaring bold goals to find long-term solutions for our community’s most pressing problems. For these reasons, we are focusing resources and funding in these four areas:
• Alleviating Hunger & Homelessness• Building Safe Communities through Education• Developing Healthy Children & Families• Improving Financial Stability
Helping guide our work in prevention are nearly 40 local leaders and issues experts who serve on the Investing in Results Council, as well as cabinets formed around each focus area.
Tasked with identifying evidence-based programs that best support our Investing in Results goals, these volunteers spent nearly 500 hours researching grant applications submitted by local agencies, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of existing programs.
Heart of Florida United Way distributed nearly $15 million to 109 tri-county health and human services programs for fiscal year 2012-2013. This included $8.8 million in competitive grants, as well as $5.8 million that was distributed through United Way-administered programs, donor designations and state programs.

In all, these programs impacted nearly1 in 5 Central Floridians.

Schools and Communities:
Together for Tomorrow (TFT)
One of the many ways United Way is helping move
the needle on education is by funding Together
for Tomorrow, a special initiative of the U.S.
Department of Education, the White House Office
of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships,
and the Corporation for National and Community
Service, which seeks to support Title I public
schools through volunteerism. The ultimate goal
of TFT is to improve education outcomes and
increase high school graduation rates.
The project supports several schools across
Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties and is
coordinated by AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in
Service to America) members who help recruit,
train and support volunteers. Based on our
success in education, United Way was chosen to
lead this nationally recognized program.

Education is the single most influential factor in ensuring that children grow up to do as well or better than their parents. But, with a high school student dropping out every 26 seconds nationally, we are facing an impending crisis. That is why HFUW invested $2.5 million in programs providing cradle-to-career support and removing barriers to education.
A total of 4,432 local children and teens participated in programs to improve academic success and on-time graduation rates:
• 87% were developmentally on target and achieved age-appropriate cognitive milestones for kindergarten readiness
• 77% performed at grade level in reading and math• 95% improved their school attendance rates• 81% achieved and maintained an on-track grade point
average (GPA) • 100% of high school seniors graduated on time
Our Impact: 3,795 children and youth received TFT services focused on improving student attendance, behavior, course performance and access to college.
In addition:
• 20 VISTAs served at 17 education sites across Central Florida
• 1,238 volunteers contributed 10,529 hours of service which are valued at more than $225,000
• 83% of TFT middle school students improved their attendance rates
• 67% of TFT middle school students and 60% of TFT elementary school students scored higher on standardized tests

EITC’s economic impact in Central Florida last year alone:
1110
$$$Even before the start of the economic crisis, thousands of Central Floridians were walking a financial tightrope. Often working two or three jobs just to survive, many were unable to improve their job skills, savings or ability to weather an unexpected crisis, such as unemployment or serious illness.
The difficulties so many residents continue to face underscore the importance of United Way’s focus on helping low-income families and individuals improve their financial stability.
To achieve this, we are funding programs that provide financial literacy training, credit counseling, greater access to affordable childcare and more.
Our Impact: 20,904 tri-county residents received training, counseling and other tools for improving financial self-sufficiency.
• 98% of clients improved their employability skills • 83% of clients obtained and maintained affordable
housing• 95% of clients increased their financial literacy• 74% of clients increased their understanding
of credit• 68% of clients increased their assets toward
financial stability

A key part of United Way’s efforts to help families become financially stable is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which has helped to lift more children out of poverty than any other federal program.
By offering tax credits of more than $5,000 per year, EITC helps eligible people reduce debt, build savings, and pay for rent, child care, groceries or any other need.
EITC also provides a significant boost to the local economy, where more than half a billion dollars in refunds were distributed regionally last year alone.
Our Impact: • 223,369 EITC claims were filed regionally, a one-year
increase of nearly 4%• Since 2003, the year before HFUW began promoting
EITC, the number of claimed dollars has risen 93%• HFUW also helps people claim 100% of their tax refund
for FREE through the promotion of nearly 30, no-cost tax preparation sites

“When I started on this program, I was at the ultimate low. The idea of having a family support worker coming to see me and my baby each week was great! She was easy to talk to. She brought me lots of information about my child’s development, and gave me referrals for jobs and other community resources.”

The pathway to a healthy life varies based on individual challenges – and the determinants of well-being extend beyond medical care to social and economic factors. By addressing abusive and unsafe environments, promoting positive behavior and fostering supportive conditions at home and in the community, Heart of Florida United Way is committed to providing resources local children and families need to thrive.
Our Impact: 3,355 residents received support and services that helped them maintain or improve their health and well-being.
• 96% of parents/caregivers improved their parenting skills and understanding of their child’s development
• 81% of adults increased their knowledge of healthy food and exercise options

More Than $4 Million Saved on PrescriptionsIn the last two years, 40% of people in the United States have either skipped filling a prescription or taken reduced doses because the medicine was too expensive. To address this, Heart of Florida United Way has joined more than 600 United Way agencies and other community partners from across the country to distribute free FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards. To date, Central Floridians have saved more than $4 million by using the FamilyWize cards.
Our Impact: In 2012, the free FamilyWize cards provided much-needed relief with great success, saving Central Floridians $1,924,081 on the cost of their medicine.

Poverty: A Pervasive ProblemIn Central Florida, nearly 20% of the population lives in poverty. Among them are society’s most vulnerable: infants, children, seniors and the disabled. In the aftermath of the Great Recession, residents still struggle to afford food, shelter, medication, utilities and other basic needs.
The residual effects of long-term poverty spill over into education, healthcare and public safety – impacting the prosperity of the community as a whole.
To help stem this tragic tide, United Way and our partner agencies are providing programs that offer case management, safe shelter, nourishing meals, counseling and access to other community resources and mainstream public benefits.
Our Impact: As one of the tri-county region’s largest funders of local hunger and homelessness programs, HFUW has distributed more than $30 million over the past five years to address and prevent these growing problems. This year:
• 107,841 meals were served by feeding programs• 35,829 individuals received food from food pantries• 20,203 clients received emergency services,
including rent assistance and/or utility assistance• 2,235 seniors received support from congregate
meal and home-delivered meal programs• 92% of clients with shelter issues resolved their
crisis and moved to a more stable situation

High unemployment, lost benefits and drastic cuts to state and federal assistance programs continued to be concerns in 2012-2013, which made it harder than ever for local families to afford basic human needs.
Reflecting this, 149,996 residents sought help through 2-1-1 – United Way’s free, 24-hour information, referral and crisis intervention helpline. That’s more than 400 calls per day – an 80% increase since the start of the recession.
Even more telling, more than 15,615 residents – including 694 who were considering suicide – requested help in dealing with emotional stress, depression, substance abuse, domestic violence and other overwhelming problems.
Our Impact: • 149,996 local residents sought help through 2-1-1 last year• 53% of people served by 2-1-1 were first-time callers• Utilities, housing and food accounted for more than half
of all requests• Nearly 70,000 callers were informed about utility and
housing assistance, the Earned Income Tax Credit or the FamilyWize prescription discount program
• 97% of all callers reported that 2-1-1 helped them understand the next step in resolving their pressing needs
• In all, 217,642 people were helped through 2-1-1 services HFUW provided to a total of 15 counties including Orange, Seminole and Osceola
Every day, nearly 500 people call the United Way 2-1-1, seeking assistance with everything from affordable childcare and food to caring for an elderly parent.
Not long ago, a United Way 2-1-1 call specialist received a different type of call – one that underscores the importance of this free, 24-hour information, referral and crisis helpline.
John*, an elderly man who lived alone, dialed 2-1-1 to say that he had fallen while fixing breakfast and couldn’t move.
Confused and having difficulty speaking, John was clearly frightened as he told his story. In assessing the situation, the 2-1-1 call specialist immediately transferred the call to 9-1-1 emergency services. She then kept John on the line and helped him stay calm while waiting for the emergency responders.
Once the medical team arrived, helped John to his feet and checked him over, he re-dialed 2-1-1 to express his gratitude. “Thank you so much,” he said. “I didn’t know what to do.”
*Names and events were changed in order to protect client privacy.

GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER. More than 2,000 corporate volunteers participated in United Way Days of Caring, the largest annual volunteer event in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. From company managers and theme park executives to commercial bankers and state employees, 2,060 local volunteers reached out to help neighbors in need. In all, employees from 32 companies contributed more than 7,984 hours and completed 85 projects at 28 local agencies supported by HFUW. As a result, these organizations received the equivalent of $173,971 in volunteer service and support.
The largest project featured more than 1,000 volunteers from Lockheed Martin Corporation. From installing kitchen cabinets
and a new computer room at the Parramore Kidz Zone to painting walkways at the Nap Ford Community School, Lockheed Martin volunteers completed projects at The Salvation Army, House of Hope, the Coalition for the Homeless, the Adult Rehabilitation Center and Orlando Day Nursery.
Other participating Days of Caring corporate partners included Publix Super Markets, Wells Fargo, Enterprise Holdings, Florida Hospital and Fifth Third Bank – to name just a few. While building teamwork and company morale, volunteers learned about the challenges facing those in need and took satisfaction in making a difference.
ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS!UNITED WAY DAYS OF CARING:
47,700 hours of volunteer servicein 2012-2013 valued at
$1,039,813.
It’s more than just a credo. It’s the foundation of how United Way serves our community.
From tutoring children and mentoring teens to hosting food drives and sprucing up group homes, thousands of local volunteers donate their time and talent to touch lives and make a difference.
Coordinating many of these activities is the United Way Volunteer Resource Center (VRC), which connects companies, individuals, families, students, faith-based groups and others with meaningful opportunities to get involved and give back.
The VRC also partners with more than 200 local nonprofits in recruiting and managing volunteers, who help agencies stretch precious resources.

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Heart of Florida United Way’s 2012-2013 campaign raised
$17,558,756.
Words really can’t express how rewarding it has been serving as United Way’s Campaign Chair the past year. I learned so much about our community, and the great nonprofit organizations that are working so hard to make it better. I met incredible people – the mentors, the volunteers, the staff – all so committed and caring. I was able to spend time with businesses, governmental agencies, schools and colleges who rally their teams to donate so generously. But most of all, I was able to meet real heroes: families and individuals who have faced incredibly tough times and, with a helping hand from the United Way agencies, were able to persevere and get their lives and families back on track.
A deep-felt thank-you to my cabinet, the dozens of devoted volunteers and the entire staff of the United Way for all of their help in making this year’s campaign so successful. To quote Dr. Seuss: “If people like you don’t care an awful, awful lot, it’s not going to get better; it’s not.” Thankfully, in Central Florida there are so many businesses and organizations, and so many people, who take this so seriously.
Thank you one and all.

Campaign Celebration!Thanks to a tremendously generous community, Heart of Florida United Way’s 2012-2013 campaign raised $17,558,756, a 3% increase in individual donations over previous years.
Chaired by Shawn Bartelt, vice president and general manager for WFTV Channel 9 and WRDQ Central Florida’s Channel 27, the campaign was supported by more than 400 Central Florida companies and organizations who ran workplace campaigns and organized fundraising events to benefit local nonprofit programs supported by United Way that provide food, shelter and other services to Central Floridians in dire need.
Leading workplace giving were Walt Disney World, Publix Super Markets and Lockheed Martin, which were all honored as “Million Dollar Community Champions.”
Walt Disney World raised $3.4 million among its cast members and corporate resources. Publix Super Markets ranked second, tallying $2.85 million from its associates. Defense contractor Lockheed Martin rallied more than 2,500 of its local employees to generate $1.1 million in donations to rank third among leading donor organizations.

At the end of the program, they return to their companies with sharper business skills and a greater awareness of local need.
What Local Business Leaders Say About the Program:
United Way wishes to thank the following companies who supported the Loaned Executive Program last year:

LEADERSHIP GIVINGLegacy of CompassionAt the core of every great community, there’s a select group of people whose compassion and leadership set the course for others to follow. Here in Central Florida, we’re fortunate to have United Way Leadership donors who invest in our community with annual gifts of $1,000 or more.
Last year, nearly 2,634 Leadership Investors contributed a combined total of $4,723,930. In addition to the satisfaction of making an important investment in our community, these donors receive other benefits, including special recognition during the annual United Way Leadership Appreciation event at SeaWorld Orlando.

expertise and financial support in the communities where we live and work. ‘UPSers’ from around the globe are
no different. Their volunteer efforts and financial contributions reflect the commitment to improving the needs in the community. Both my family and my UPS family recognize the value of United Way. It brings hope
to the community and provides opportunities to share and celebrate through the act of giving.”

WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
“Each of us can express our
gratitude and persevere in life by giving back to our community.”
Deborah Norville
The Power of PhilanthropyBy combining the power of philanthropy, volunteerism and awareness, the United Way Women’s Leadership Council is addressing critical health and social service issues that disproportionately affect women and children.
The Heart of Florida United Way Women’s Leadership Council comprises over 400 members who generously give more than $685,000 annually. This year’s Women’s Leadership Luncheon raised more than $100,000. But more importantly, the event expanded Heart of Florida United Way’s reach by engaging even more women leaders in our community who have joined the Women’s Leadership Council to give, advocate or volunteer for the betterment of our local communities.
Membership is open to any female Leadership Investor who wants to help improve the lives of local women and children in need.
To learn more, contact Heart of Florida United Way at (407) 835-0900 or email [email protected].
Emmy Award-winning journalist Deborah Norville shared how maintaining a thankful attitude can help women overcome any personal challenge, during an inspirational speech to more than 700 guests at the Sixth Annual United Way Women’s Leadership Luncheon.
Norville spoke with candor and humor about the pitfalls of juggling a career and motherhood. The acclaimed broadcaster and best-selling author also told the amazing story of how she overcame a difficult struggle with depression after the birth of her first child and subsequent departure from NBC’s Today Show.
“Each of us can express our gratitude and persevere in life by giving back to our community,” suggested Norville. “You can do it by supporting the United Way. You can do it by supporting a friend or by reminding yourself that there may be some rough periods, but you’ll get through them.”
Norville, who is active in a number of charities, also praised the Women’s Leadership Council for its work in helping women make smarter financial decisions and reducing school dropout rates.

One of Heart of Florida United Way’s proudest achievements of 2012-2013 was to earn a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s leading evaluator of nonprofit organizations. Four stars – the highest rating – is only awarded to nonprofits that exceed industry standards for transparency, fiscal responsibility and growth. Nationally, only one in four evaluated charities receives four stars, so we’re deeply honored by this recognition.
