2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT

Fighting for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community. MISSION Building community by helping people care for one another.

VISION We will have a caring community strengthened by its diversity and compassion. United Way will be seen as a catalyst in building community by bringing hearts, minds and resources together. Dear United Way friends,

2019-2020 was a year like no other, and one we are not likely to forget.

Throughout its history, our United Way has weathered many literal and figurative storms and, time and again, it has demonstrated its ability to react quickly in response to unprecedented challenges.

This annual report reflects our collective impact, and the pages that follow highlight many of the successes we achieved working together this year. United Way is you: volunteers, contributors, nonprofits, community and corporate partners, government and organized labor, whose passion and dedication helps us to positively impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals who call our community home.

We have much to be proud of and even more by which to be inspired. We continue to level the playing field and expand our efforts in low-income neighborhoods to bridge the achievement gap; we completed a decade helping working individuals and families achieve financial resilience; and we are working to secure a future where our aging population can live their golden years in dignity. These pages also capture our collective efforts in the face of adversity, bringing help and hope to our neighbors during the unimaginable.

Building community by helping people care for one another is more than our mission. It is our core, the heart of our work. And in today’s uncertain times, never has this work been more important.

It is only by working together that we are able to address our community’s biggest challenges. We thank you for your passion and commitment to our work and fighting for a stronger Miami.

With gratitude,

Maria C. Alonso Carlos A. Migoya President and CEO Board Chair

1 2 OUR WORK

In Miami-Dade, 37 percent of all households are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – we know them as ALICE. They are hardworking families who, although they are employed, are not always able to cover basic needs like food, housing, child care, health care and transportation. An additional 17 percent live in poverty, bringing the total to 54 percent of households in our community struggling to get by each, and every, day.

To create economic opportunity, United Way of Miami-Dade’s work is focused on education, financial stability and health – the building blocks for a good life. That’s because we know that children do better in school and in life when they have access to quality education; families are more financially secure when they have the skill sets to land and keep good jobs; and everyone has a shot at a more productive life when they have access to affordable, quality health care.

15 ADVOCACY

We engage decision-makers and policy leaders to address important community needs and leverage the impact of our investments. For the 2020 Legislative Session, Florida’s 28 United Ways adopted the ninth Consensus Legislative Agenda to address public policy priorities across the state as well as strengthen our collective ability to move the needle on key issues important to the communities we serve. Topping the list on the agenda were policies in the areas of education, financial stability and health that would help Florida’s ALICE families, who, although employed, struggle to make ends meet as wages remain stagnant and the cost of living continues to increase.

EDUCATION HEALTH we hosted the Older Adults Forum Increasing accountability in Championing access to health care welcoming community leaders, past early education Florida’s United Ways helped increase and current elected officials and Florida’s United Ways advocated access to health care for Floridians. more than 200 attendees to address for legislation to move the Office We successfully supported the critical issues and growing unmet of Early Learning from the Office passage of two bills that directly needs of our aging population, which of Economic Opportunity to the impact children’s access to care: has now outnumbered children Department of Education in order to the Florida KidCare Program will aged 0 -17.
