OUR MANIFESTO Problems. The ones most people don’t have the stomach for. The ones nobody talks about at cocktail parties. The ones that can’t be solved. We go looking for them. We find every dollar we can to address them. ® But we are more than the fundraisers. LIVE UNITED We are the hand raisers. The game changers. The-stop-talking-start-doing-band-together-and-take-on-the-impossible-task-masters. United, we face the heartbreak of infant mortality. United, we stand up for children who face obstacles at school.

We surround a community’s most critical problems. And we fight. We fight for Christopher. We fight for Jade. We fight for David and Shantia and Max. We fight for those who need a voice and those whose names we do not know. United Way fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. Because change doesn’t happen alone. Hope isn’t a one-man band. And there’s no such thing as self-taught or self-made. We have one life. To live better, we must live United.

5 UNITED WAY OF GREATER STARK COUNTY’S WORK IN THE COMMUNITY We all win when we live in a healthy community where kids are successful from kindergarten through graduation to a career, and families have the tools, skills and support they need to become financially independent.

Some of the needs in our community: • Out of the 165,462 total housing units available, 62% are owner occupied, 28% are renter occupied and 10% are vacant. 49.3% of renters are in unaffordable housing, reducing their ability to purchase essential goods & services. • 3% of adult residents did not finish th9 grade and 10.9% did not graduate high school. • 13.3% of the population for whom poverty status is determined in Stark County, OH (364,905 people) live below the poverty line. • In Stark County in 2015, the infant mortality rate was 4.8 per 1,000 live births. Building a stronger community takes many, but it starts with YOU. Thank you for making Greater Stark County a better community for everyone!
$5,622,135 invested in the community Program Allocations | $3,567,990 United Way Direct Services/Impact Councils | $1,427,728 Strategic Initiatives | $220,602 Donor Designated Pledges | $405,815 Collaborations in the community • The partnership between the Stark-Tuscarawas Workforce Development Board and United Way of Greater Stark County provides an array of financial literacy services to customers within the OhioMeansJobs center. The United Way of Greater Stark County’s Financial Prosperity Center at OhioMeansJobs was developed to help local residents become financially stable by focusing on three primary areas: employment counseling and placement, financial education and coaching, and public benefits access. United Way of Greater Stark County envisions a community where a cycle for financial stability exists, allowing individuals and families access to build long-term, economic independence. • United Way of Greater Stark County partners with Live Well Stark County, Creating Healthy Communities and the Stark County Park District through Stark Walks urban walking routes. Combining resources increased the number of routes available to the public throughout the county. Urban pathways - or green streets - are a free, easy way for residents to participate in physical activity. These pathways encourage people to explore their community, exercise and have healthier lives. • The C.A.R.E. Team Initiative is a collaborative between Stark County Family Court, Stark County Job & Family Services, Stark Education Partnership, Stark County Family Council, Stark County Educational Service Center, Stark County Mental Health &Addiction Recovery, Stark County Board of Developmental Disabilities and United Way of Greater Stark County. The team is comprised of teachers, administrators and staff from multiple community agencies, including law enforcement, mental health, and other social services. The team works together in a school-based environment to address challenges facing the at-risk student population. Non-academic barriers facing students and their families are identified and the team serves as a liaison between students and community resources. This helps break down the barriers that interfere with student progression and students begin to successfully learn in school, increasing their potential through education. • The Emergency Assistance Collaborative provides streamlined and client centered emergency assistance services to Greater Stark County residents who are at risk of a crisis and seeking temporary assistance for rent or utilities. The collaborative consists of 6 community partners who service the Greater Stark County area: United Way of Greater Stark County, The Salvation Army (Massillon, Alliance and Canton), Catholic Charities Serving Portage and Stark Counties and CommQuest Services, Inc. 6 UNITED WAY OF GREATER STARK COUNTY’S WORK IN THE COMMUNITY

7 Alexis de Tocqueville Society of Greater Stark County
French aristocrat Alexis Charles-Henri Clerel de Tocqueville was 26 years old in 1831 when he arrived in the United States. Central to de Tocqueville’s writings was his admiration for the American spirit of voluntary action for the common good. He recognized, applauded and immortalized the voluntary spirit that energized the lives of Americans.
The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was created to honor the goodwill and community leadership that inspired de Tocqueville’s writings more than 150 years ago. The Tocqueville Society honors leaders who exemplify that spirit through an extraordinary level of personal giving to United Way.
We never cease to be amazed by the kindness and generosity displayed by the altruistic members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society. Thank you.

“I have volunteered for United Way of Greater Stark County for over 5 years because it gives me a chance to give back, makes a difference in my community and is a great format to reach a hand out and up for those in need. I remember the first time we donated to United Way, then CEO Steve Miller asked Kevin for a donation of printing to help the annual campaign. Kevin agreed in the morning and by the afternoon had a picture of the preschool kids, I think from YWCA, holding up a sign that said Thank You Kevin. It was very sweet. That was the beginning.” - Linda Smith, Sirak Financial Services Chair, Women United Co-chair, 2017 Campaign

Although we were financial supporters of United Way, we actually knew very little about the organization and the important work being done through funded programs here in our own community. Our experience as campaign co-chairs gave us the opportunity to learn about United Way of Greater Stark County’s Strategic Plan, and how the organization leverages every dollar to make the biggest impact. We heard the stories of situations being made better, and lives being changed. Now, more than ever, we believe in United Way’s mission and we know that this vital organization assists people in need, while achieving measurable results.
Many local businesses and individuals are facing financial challenges right now, including some of our reliable contributors. We want you to know that we appreciate your continued support as a Leader in Giving. Your contribution - big or small - will be combined with others and invested toward United Way’s essential building blocks for helping the people of Greater Stark County thrive and succeed.
United Way of Greater Stark County fights for the Health, Education and Financial Stability of EVERY person in EVERY community. Thank you for joining the fight, and for helping us mobilize the caring power of our friends and neighbors. We win by living United.

We encourage you to consult with your financial planner and/or attorney.

In addition, some employers match employee gifts which can lower your cost.

• Donating an outright gift of cash or appreciated stock • Designating United Way as the beneficiary of a retirement account • Designating United Way in your will (making a bequest) • Making United Way the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, either an existing policy or a new policy • Creating a “split gift” such as a charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust and charitable lead trust
