ANNUAL REPORT 2016 • 5 WELCOME

DEAR UNITED WAY FRIENDS,

For the past nine decades, hundreds of thousands of caring individuals have stepped up to help build a stronger Miami through United Way. Our 2015-2016 Annual Report is dedicated to the “builders” of today — the people doing extraordinary things to improve lives. They represent a tiny fraction of the army of volunteers, social workers, teachers, business leaders, contributors, and community advocates connected to our United Way.

Through their work, and the work of so many others, we’ve experienced a year full of promise. And while we know there’s a long way to go, it’s nice to stop for a moment and reflect on what we’ve accomplished together.

It’s been nearly two years since the release of our landmark ALICE (Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed) Report, an in-depth look at the hardships that 50% of our residents face living in or on the edge of poverty. The report underscores our continued focus on education, financial stability and health and how the three are so interconnected and so essential to a good quality of life.

In answer to that challenge, we are targeting a number of different strategies that we believe over time will lead to better tomorrows for the most vulnerable among us. This past year, we saw our efforts around collective impact really begin to take shape as we forged new and different kinds of partnerships, particularly in the area of older adults, in addition to our traditional program funding. We more than doubled our number of community service projects, engaging people more deeply in our work. Our investment in advocacy yielded big returns as well — scoring key wins in early education, free tax preparation and health insurance for children. We completed the first year of our five-year $22.5 million federal Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership grant, reaching 320 infants and toddlers with enriching educational experiences. Once again, we witnessed with great pride the generous spirit of our friends and neighbors coming together to care for one another.

We continue to look towards the future as well — launching a new leadership program for millennials and a renewed focus on our endowment. And, that’s just the beginning . . .

Our thanks to those who day in and day out work to build a stronger Miami — who share our vision for what is possible and a passion for making it happen. Only through collective action can we solve some of our biggest challenges. With you by our side, we can build a thriving community in which we all want to live, work and raise our families, today and for generations to come.

Rudy Taberes is accustomed to difficult conversations. He knows what it’s like to sit across the table from a stressed-out single mother trying to feed her family, or a father desperate to pay the rent. Taberes listens patiently, takes notes, and then gets to work. As a financial coach for the United Way Center for Financial Stability, Taberes’ job is to help individuals get their finances back on track. “I always try to first understand their story, where they’re coming from and where they hope to go,” Taberes, who grew up in Miami, said. “It helps that I understand the community and so it’s often easy to relate to what they’re experiencing.” Whether the goal is to purchase a home, crawl out from mounting debt or raise their credit score, Taberes and his colleagues provide the tools, information, and support a person needs to begin tackling even the most daunting financial challenge. “It’s hard to describe the sense of satisfaction when you see someone who is able to get their life in order, and to know you were a part in making that happen,” Taberes said. He takes pride knowing he can change the course of someone’s life, and help impact future generations. “Many times those bad financial habits pass down from parents to their children, and so I know when we have those successes it often doesn’t end there, we can help break the cycle – at It’s hard to describe the sense of satisfaction the end of the day, that is what it’s all “ when you see someone who is able to get their about.” life in order, and know you were a part in making RUDY TABARES Financial Coach that happen.

34 • UNITED WAY OF MIAMI-DADE BE THE CHANGE Tapping into their desire to make their mark, United Way launched LINC (Lead. Impact. Network. Change.), a new leadership group focused on the power, potential and passion of millennials. In our first year, more than 150 young professionals, 30-and-under, signed on, each making an annual gift of $250 or more, and giving their time to read to young children, assemble literacy and STEAM kits, and paint and landscape a group home for young women.

TELEPHONE, TELEGRAPH, TELL-A-WOMAN Quoting one of her grandmother’s favorite sayings, keynote speaker Aerin Lauder shared the wisdom and lessons she inherited from the many “daring, creative, brilliant and fearless women” in her life at The 15th Annual United Way Women’s Leadership Breakfast. With more than 1,000 women in attendance, she thanked them for their dedication: “The remarkable work you all do depends on your power to build connections and communities, and you do this with care, creativity and compassion.” Chaired by United Way Board Member Darlene Boytell- Pérez, the breakfast was presented by UHealth and Sue Miller and Leslie Miller Saiontz.

ELEVATING FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY In partnership with Miami-Dade County Chairman Jean Monestime’s Council for Prosperity Initiatives, United Way launched Bank On Miami – a new partnership involving more than a dozen financial institutions to help low-income families keep more of what they earn. Bank On Miami connects unbanked and underbanked residents with financial coaching and safe, affordable and innovative financial products and solutions which help them improve their economic standing.

WHAT A COUNTRY In expressing his gratitude for being honored with United Way’s prestigious Tocqueville Award for Outstanding Philanthropy, Armando Codina paid tribute to the country and the people who welcomed him with opened arms when he arrived in the United States from Cuba, alone, at the age of 14. He, along with his wife Margarita, received the award in recognition of a lifetime of civic duty and giving back. “They are the very definition of selfless – quietly going about helping others, with a kindness and humbleness that is truly rare,” said United Way President and CEO Harve Mogul. The award was presented at a reception hosted by Ambassador Paul Cejas and Trudy Cejas in their Miami Beach home.

36 • UNITED WAY OF MIAMI-DADE SPRING FLING As United Way’s popular four-day VeritageMiami celebration prepared to move to the fall of 2016, 600 wine and food lovers who simply couldn’t wait that long, came together for a one-night interactive dinner called “Spring Edition.” Featuring the six local chefs who graced the cover of INDULGE magazine’s spring food and wine edition and presented by City National Bank, Spring Edition benefited the United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education.

A MESSAGE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE Given United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education’s recognized strength in dual language instruction, the Obama Administration selected the Center as the site to release its policy statement on and recommendation for dual language education. Roberto Rodriguez, deputy assistant to the President for education, and Blanca Enriquez, director of the Office of Head Start, made the announcement before dozens of local and national early education experts and advocates.

LIVIN’ IT UP The 17th Annual Mayor’s Ball was a certainly a ball ... but of a very different kind. Gone were the black ties and seated dinners of years past and in its place an all-out party at the Fontainebleau’s LIV nightclub and a poolside after-party. Hosted by Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Lourdes Gimenez and chaired by Shannon and Vincent Signorello, the event, presented by Suffolk Construction, raised nearly $1.2 million
