Today you can change your community forever.

U N I T ED WAY O F T H E NAT I O NAL C API TAL AR E A

The study illustrates the challenges facing our region

and identifies wide geographic and racial disparities

in terms of access to economic opportunity, quality

schools and affordable health and wellness services.

The main issues identified include: There are wide geographic and racial dispari-

ties in terms of income, poverty and access to economic opportunity.

Across the region, student perfor-mance on math standardized tests declines dramatically between 4th and 8th grade.

There is a sizeable group of 16-24 year olds—particularly young males—who are not in school and not in the labor

force.

Moving forward, we will use this

data to determine our fundraising

priorities and make decisions regard-

ing our community investments.

Here’s the good news: the Washington, DC region is one of the most prosperous areas in the nation.

Six of the ten wealthiest counties in the United States are in our

region. Even in these tough economic times, our area leads the

nation in economic confidence. We have many excellent schools

in several high performing school districts, high-paying jobs and

low rates of unemployment. Many of us live very well.

Unfortunately, we know that’s not the whole story. Someone you know is just one paycheck away from a financial

disaster; one of your neighbors who doesn’t have health

insurance is dealing with a serious medical condition; and a child

is giving up on his future.

We can do better. Join United Way of the National Capital Area (United Way NCA)

in our effort to provide every person in the region with access

to the building blocks of a higher quality of life: education,

financial stability and good health.

Identifying Local ChallengesRecently, United Way NCA commissioned an analysis of the residents, economy and

community trends within the eight regions we serve. Community Snapshot: A Report on the Economic and Social Well-Being of the National Capital Area was prepared by the

George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis.

WELCOME TOOUR COMMUNITY

Creating an Impact in the CommunityHow do we do it?

Working Collectively

Performing research Driving Change

We bring together people with passion, expertise

and resources—from across the community—to get

things done. We galvanize our communities around

a common cause, a common vision and a common

path forward. We’re adding value when we harness

collective energy to fuel collective change.

The Community Snapshot report, in

conjunction with other regional reports,

provides us with the baseline data we need

to chart a new course and measure progress.

We engage people in taking meaningful action by

donating, volunteering and advocating on behalf of

people who have not historically been heard. We also

raise more than $30 million annually to support the

work of our nonprofit partners.We have set big goals. With

your help, as a community,

we can attain them.

United Way NCA creates an im-

pact in the community by raising

money for good causes. We also

work collaboratively with people

and organizations to solve prob-

lems.

Through ListeningWe host community conversations to connect with

and learn from members of our community and

ensure that our work is grounded in an under-

standing of what people want and need for their

families and themselves. We listen to and support

our Regional Councils, which are comprised of key

community players. These councils are tasked with

assessing the needs and gaps in services within

the eight regions we serve.

A child who is not reading at grade level by the

4th grade will have difficulty catching up to his

peers; a child who falls behind during middle

school will have difficulty transitioning to high

school and succeeding at that level. And when

a child drops out of high school, he faces great

challenges and reduced opportunities for eco-

nomic gain as an adult.

Unfortunately, across the nation, young people are

dropping out of high school at an alarming rate: 1.9

million per year. This is unacceptable. Our middle

school initiative supports United Way’s national effort

to reduce the dropout rate by 50 percent by 2018.

We have set a goal of increasing student success at

three low performing middle schools within the

region by 2016. By working with teachers, staff and ad-

ministrators; engaging parents; and funding academic

and social supports and interventions we are helping to

ensure 8th graders transition into the 9th grade with

grade-level proficiency in reading and math.

In addition, we are joining with United Ways across the

nation to help struggling readers. In collaboration with

our Team NFL spokesperson Josh Morgan, wide receiver

with the Washington Redskins, we are participating in

the Million Readers, Tutors & Mentors Initiative, which

places volunteers with nonprofit organizations that

work to increase academic achievement and keep stu-

dents on track to graduate from high school on time.

4th grade

73%8th grade

The region’s average passing rates on math assessment tests in 2011 were 85% for 4th graders, but just 73% for 8th graders, which shows a downward trend in performance on these assessments between the 4th and 8th grades.

Our middle school initiative is underway

At Kelly Miller Middle School in the District of

Columbia, we continue to sponsor a team of

City Year members to assist teachers and pro-

vide in-class and after-school tutoring. These

efforts are likely contributing to the school’s

14 percentage point increase in 2013 standard-

ized test scores (DC CAS) in reading and math.

The results showed increases across all tested

subjects, grade levels, and sub-groups. Students

are also being matched with mentors through

our Mentoring Matters collaborative, which

includes Deloitte LLP and 28 participating non-

profit organizations that provide mentoring,

tutoring and professional skills coaching.

We promote financial stability by collaborat-

ing with our partners to prepare individuals

for successful careers.

reconnecting youth to opportunitiesTo place youth on the path to career success, we

are launching two initiatives with the Community

Foundation NCA. We are developing a grassroots

campaign to identify young adults (age 16-24) who

are disconnected from school and work to provide

them with the support and services they need to

get back on track. Second, we are developing a

portal and smartphone app that will more easily

connect young people to education, career and

social services resources.

YoU Can help To learn about our financial stability

initiatives, visit UnitedWayNCA.org.

Nearly 76,000 post-9/11 veterans live in our region

and have difficulty transitioning into the civilian

workplace. To serve this population, United Way NCA

has partnered with six educational institutions, five

workforce development programs and a host of local

employers and nonprofits to help more than 500

veterans attain and maintain gainful employment.

The program provides needed support services to help

veterans access employment and educational benefits,

housing and homelessness assistance, and family and

caregiver support for themselves and their families.

Financial stability

One in three children in D.C.

lives below the poverty line.

Close to

30,000 young adults (age 16-24) in the region are neither in school nor in the labor force.

United Way NCA promotes financial literacy.

We do this by educating people about

predatory lending, credit management

and the range of available tax credits,

including the Earned Income Tax Credit

for low-to-moderate income families.

Since 2008, the United Way NCA

Collaborative has helped an average of

9,380 tax payers per year access this

credit, which has resulted in more than

$70 million in tax refund dollars.

Focusing on Financial Literacy

More than

60%of in-demand jobs in the

next five years will require a high school degree, GED,

vocational education training or on-the-job training.

Our goal is to connect youth and unemployed individuals to college and career pathways

residents in the Washington, DC area live in

“food deserts,” meaning they do not have access to supermarkets containing fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy, economical ingredients in their neighborhood.

health

helping schools nurture healthy ChildrenMany schools have faced budget cuts in which

physical education funding is likely to go first. For

that reason, United Way NCA partnered with General

Mills Foundation and state government agencies to

invest $800,000 to help schools maintain and increase

their focus on physical education and nutrition.

As a result:

15 schools have provided cooking classes to more than 6,000 students.

35 schools have created vegetable gardens.

In the District of Columbia United Way NCA works

with DC Hunger Solutions and seven charter schools

to increase their capacity and funding for afterschool

meal programs. As a result of these efforts, 9,000

children were served healthy afterschool meals.

In the greater Washington, DC region,

of children ages 10-17 are classified as overweight and obese.

2939%-Our child wellness initiative has served as a catalyst for change by raising awareness of the issues such as affordable eating solutions, educating kids and families about healthy eating habits and the importance of physical activity, and helping youth avoid risky social behaviors.

Fun, Fly & Fit ©

United Way NCA instituted the Fun, Fly

& Fit youth fitness and nutrition pro-

gram at elementary schools and recre-

ation centers in the District of Columbia

and Prince George’s County, which are

two local areas where rates of obesity

are particularly high. The program helps

children make good nutritional choices

and helps them to develop healthy life-

styles filled with exercise.

Fun, Fly & Fit has reached nearly 35,000

children in more than 100 schools, and

more than $500,000 in physical educa-

tion equipment has been awarded to 15

public schools in Prince George’s County.
