A LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT AND CEO 2019 has been an exciting year at United Way! It’s been a year of trailblazing, innovating and finding new ways to help our community. In an effort to seek out innovative solutions to our community’s challenges, we introduced our WayFinder grant, inviting nonprofits in central Oklahoma to submit creative ideas to address health and human service challenges. We were blown away by the response and held a shark-tank style presentation for finalists to pitch their ideas to a panel of local foundation leaders and board members. Ultimately, five organizations were awarded $250,000 for their unique projects (see page 9) and we can’t wait to witness the resulting impact in our community! Additionally, we were proud to join our community partners to provide groundbreaking mental health support to Oklahoma City Public School students through the EmbraceOKC initiative. With United Way’s help, EmbraceOKC will provide more counselors for students in psychological distress, training for OKCPS personnel and many other resources that will keep mental health from standing in the way of a student’s ability to get a quality education. And finally, thanks to the dynamic leadership of our campaign co-chairs Bill and Sherry Lance, we were humbled to surpass our 2019 campaign goal, bringing in $17.5 million to ensure our partner agencies are able to continue serving our community’s most critical needs. In 2019, we gained 3,293 new donors who helped us raise more than $760,000 brand new dollars for the campaign. In addition, more than 3,000 donors generously increased their gifts and we added 39 new employee campaigns and corporate gifts! It is with the utmost gratitude that we say thank you to each and every donor, volunteer and partner agency who make it possible for the United Way to fight for a stronger, healthier, more compassionate community.
