Dear Supporters:

On behalf of United Way Worldwide and its nearly 1,800 United Ways in 41 countries and territories, many thanks for your continued commitment and support. In 2010, we made great progress in strengthening communities. Around the world our volunteers, donors and advocates invested their passion, expertise and resources to create opportunities for a better life for all.

Our focus is on education, income and health – the building blocks for a good quality of life. As I visit United Ways and meet with partners, I am inspired by the energy and creativity of our supporters. Through your commitment, young children are entering school better prepared to succeed, families are building brighter, more financially stable futures and people are living healthier lifestyles.

This past year was marked with new and strengthened partnerships with businesses, governments, nonprofits and other institutions. The opening of the Mary M. Gates Learning Center began a new era in how we expand the reach of our network. This state-of-the-art learning center at United Way Worldwide strengthens collaboration and learning opportu- nities, and fuels the progress of our worldwide movement. Read more about United Way’s reach and impact throughout this report.

Again, thank you. Together, we’re advancing the common good for all.

Sincerely,

Brian A. Gallagher President and Chief Executive Officer United Way Worldwide

Mary M. Gates Learning Center Dedicated in October 2010, the Mary M. Gates Learning Center at United Way Worldwide in Alexandria, Virginia, is an innovative educational conferencing and networking facility that fosters creative learning worldwide. The Center allows United Way to create more diverse and deeper learning experiences – anytime, anywhere.

Mary M. Gates (1929-1994) was an energetic and passionate leader committed to improving lives in her community and around the world. As president of the Board of United Way of King County in her home state of Washington, Mary was among the first women in the country to lead a United Way.

Mary also served on the United Way of America Board of Trustees and was a founding member of the United Way International Board of Directors. These organizations are now United Way Worldwide.

Mary saw that results multiply when people and organizations have a common purpose. The Mary M. Gates Learning Center was built on her belief that learning, sharing and creating opportunities to work together make the world a better place.

The Mary M. Gates Learning Center was built through generous donations from Carol Jenkins Barnett and Hoyt R. Barnett; ; Dr. Thomas F. Frist, Jr.; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; John and Chara Haas; Cinda A. Hallman Memorial Fund; Corporation; Nationwide Insurance Foundation and Principal Financial Group.
