Chenango United Way releases 2010 Community Impact Report
NORWICH – With the United Way nationally focused on improving income, education and health between 2010 and 2018, the Chenango United Way has released its 2010 End of Year Community Impact Report.
Every year, programs and organizations receiving United Way funding must submit a budget and outcome sheet showing how allocated funds were utilized the previous year, according to Chenango United Way Executive Director Elizabeth Monaco. A group of seven board volunteers then compares each individual agencies’ original proposal with its end of year results, using a 15-point scoring system.
In 2010, the majority of programs in Chenango County scored perfectly, said Monaco, with a small number receiving minor deductions.
“It’s always building on the previous year’s results,” said Monaco of the annual report. “Even if an agency is only a few points off, we try to address that for the next year. We use every opportunity to teach and help strengthen their reporting.”
The report concludes the Chenango United Way’s 2010 campaign, which saw approximately $427,000 allocated to programs and organizations throughout Chenango County, added Monaco.
According to the 2010 Community Impact Report, 21 programs successfully achieved their end of year outputs and outcomes, including Catholic Charities of Chenango’s Crime Victims, Children’s Center and Building Assets for Resiliency programs; The Place’s Service Learning, KIDS, Teen Development, Headwaters Youth Conservation and Big Brother, Big Sister programs and Opportunities For Chenango’s Retired and Senior Volunteer, CASH Coalition, Literacy Volunteers of Chenango County, Housing Counseling and Special Friends programs.
Other programs included in the report were the Mothers & Babies Perinatal Network’s PAL Family Resource Center; Norwich High School’s Youth Philanthropy Project; the Oxford Youth Center’s After School Program; the Legal Aid Society of Mid New York’s Supplemental Security Income Project; the Norwich Family YMCA’s Unemployment Membership Program; Halos’ Project HUGS; Planned Parenthood of South Central New York’s Reaching Out Program and 13 food pantries and soup kitchens located in Chenango County.
“The benefit of this process is the level of accountability we can provide to our donors and how United Way moneys are utilized,” said Monaco. “If a program is not achieving the projected results, we can work with them to understand why. And in some cases, unfortunately, we’re forced to withhold funding.”
Between 2010 and 2018, the United Way is looking to halve the number of lower income families that are financially unstable, cut American high schools’ dropout rate in half and increase by one-third the number of youths and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behaviors.
