n William H. OliverChairman, Board of Directors

As our fiscal year came to a close in June, the country was mired in economic uncertainty. Even as we write this retrospectively, we have no idea how deep or prolonged this recession will be. It seems clear that 2008 will go down as one of the most unstable and frightening years of our lifetime.

United Way is needed now more than ever.For 83 years, through recessions and even the Great Depression, United Way has mobilized charitable people to improve people’s lives in central Maryland. Yes, we make philanthropy easy. More importantly, at a time when every dollar counts, United Way ensures that philanthropy is effective and impactful.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the leadership of our board volunteers, the counsel of experts and partnerships with many great agencies, our transformation to community impact – albeit still in its early stages – is producing meaningful results.

As noted in this annual report, and more fully detailed in our Community Investment report (www.uwcm.org/communityinvestment), our focus on the building blocks of a good life is proving timely. We operate under the thesis that all children will grow into productive adults if they are properly educated and mentored along the way . . . and that at-risk families and individuals can be most successful when they have access to affordable housing and other basic needs . . . and that people can thrive if they are free from violence and abuse in their relationships. These pillars – education, income and health & safety – are the foundation that helps people withstand even strong economic headwinds.

As we address these chronic issues, United Way has never been needed more in responding to the growing need for life’s day to day essentials – helping people with things like food, shelter, access to medical care and utility assistance.

United Way lends an ear and helpful information and advice to thousands of people every week struggling to find help. Our 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help™ is the place more and more people turn to. This free information and referral service is an invaluable community service that helps callers at any hour of any day in nearly any language.

At a time when most frontline health and human service agencies are seeing revenues fall and demand for their services rise, funding from United Way has never been more important. By reaching out to hundreds of thousands of prospective donors, United Way absorbs substantial marketing, fundraising, accounting, technology and customer service expenses for literally hundreds of nonprofit organizations. Sometimes we even borrow money due to the timing of cash inflows – a cost we absorb – to meet our funding commitments. We don’t ask our agencies to hold their breath.

If United Way has never been needed more, then the same can be said for our donors and volunteers. In 2008, United Way called on every individual in central Maryland to LIVE UNITED. To find their niche by giving, advocating or volunteering. For everyone who supported us in one or more of these ways, we are truly grateful. With our community at risk, we need more people and businesses to step up in any way they can.

We need you more than ever. So do your neighbors.

United Way is many things to many people. It acts as a convener of resources and a beacon of philanthropy – conducting campaigns with more than 800 employers around the region and distributing funds to more than 1,200 organizations.

It also acts as a leader of community change – supporting and guiding human service

work around education, income and health & safety. Staff and volunteers serve on

issue-oriented committees and boards, and United Way’s priorities are designed to address

deep-rooted social problems using proven strategies.

Neither role is mutually exclusive, nor one more important than the other. By taking on

both, United Way is able to comprehensively make central Maryland stronger.

It has been our honor and privilege to help lead these two critical roles during fiscal year

2008 – sharing the message of what United Way stands for and how it reaches so many

levels of the community.

Together, we’ve been able to work with amazing partners across the government, nonprofit

and private sectors. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support the events, programs and

initiatives that United Way is focused on – from the impact work in the region to United

Way of America’s Community Leaders Conference hosted here in Baltimore to the new Live

United movement.

With your support, we raised $41.1 million during this fiscal year. Among other things, those

funds helped provide more than 970 child care subsidies for low-income families – helping

them reduce expenses by 11 to 35 percent. The funds also helped more than

2,100 at-risk individuals receive counseling and case management to help them

avoid homelessness and 13,200 individuals find information on resources to help prevent

or fight violence and abuse.

We thank you for all that you’ve done to support these initiatives and the countless other

activities that enable your United Way the opportunity to be successful. Whether you’ve

contributed, given your time, or simply taken a minute to tell someone how important these

issues are – you are the reason this organization makes a difference in the lives of central

Marylanders.

With great appreciation,

United Way is focused on the building blocks of a good life:

education, income and health & safety. Because with quality

education, a stable job, access to affordable housing and a

home that is healthy and safe, people thrive.

n Education — Making sure every child enters kindergarten fully ready to learn and that youth have an opportunity to develop to their full potential, becoming young adults who are economically self-sufficient.

To make sure all children in the target population are fully ready to enter kindergarten,

United Way is working to inform parents about what they can do to help get their

children ready for school and helping train people who care for young children.

By making sure child care providers have the highest credentials and that they are

equipped and able to teach, the number of children touched by quality education

could double each year. United Way is also subsidizing the cost of quality care for

low-income families.

There are several strategies United Way supports to help youth achieve their

potential, including mentoring. By all estimates, 17.6 million young people – nearly

half the population nationally of young people between 10 and 18 years of age – live

in situations that put them at risk of not living up to their potential, according to

Mentoring.org.

Without immediate intervention by caring adults or engaging afterschool programs,

they could make choices that not only undermine their futures, but ultimately the

economic and social well-being of our nation.

Last year, thanks to United Way, 62,518 low-income

and low-literacy families received resources to help parents

and caregivers teach their young children.

2,165 students received services that prevented

truancy and another 847 increased their basic and

occupational skills because of United Way funds.

Page 8: United Way of Central Maryland 2007-2008 Annual Report

n Income — People in the region, particularly those living in poverty, will be able to afford housing and access other critical necessities.

There are several distinct strategies and models United Way supports with regard

to helping people with basic needs. One is prevention programs that keep people

from losing housing by providing eviction prevention services and rental assistance.

Another is outreach and supportive services programs that provide case managers

and help link people with supportive services such as: locating and securing safe

and affordable housing; case management; self-esteem groups; life skills; relapse

prevention; mental health service and other referrals; as well as eye care for children

and adults who are homeless.

Also, the Housing First model is showing promising results in Maryland and across the

United States. By placing homeless people into housing immediately and thereby

removing their housing crisis, these individuals are able to stabilize and address

their other needs through supportive services.

Last year, United Way staff also had a unique opportunity to work on developing

various long-range plans to end homelessness in jurisdictions across the region,

including Baltimore City’s official 10-Year Plan which was released in January. These

plans have shown success in communities across the nation.

1,144 people received services and left non-permanent

housing for permanent housing last year because of United

Way-funded programs.

n Health & Safety — Helping people be free from violence and abuse in their homes and relationships.

To deal with the complex nature of violence and abuse, United Way is dedicated to

supporting various programs and addressing public policy. United Way is increasing

access to quality services by providing specialized services to underserved populations,

like Hispanic women.

United Way also focuses support on legal services for victims that include child

custody and divorce support. In 2008, at the policy level, United Way was committed

to promoting legislation that helped prevent domestic violence, sexual violence, child

abuse and neglect.

This advocacy work allowed for increased intervention services and options for

survivors of domestic violence and their families. Together, these strategies help

support victims, encourage healthy childhood development and strengthen families.

Last year, United Way also worked to increase the number of companies who took advantage

of eWay – our electronic giving tool. Encouraging people to pledge online not only benefits

the environment, but helps increase the efficiency of the process.

In addition to the various ways donors can give, United Way also offers giving societies. By

helping donors get to the next level of philanthropy and then fostering their involvement,

United Way believes it helps inspire new leaders.

Through the Leadership Society, United Way offers challenge grants, volunteer opportunities

and niche programs for women.

Last year, there were 461 Tocqueville Society members – individuals donating at least

$10,000 to United Way.

Of those, 111 were women and members of the Women’s Leadership Council.

4,804 individuals donated between $1,000 and $9,999. Of those, 1,718 were women.

United Way is grateful to the members of all the leadership giving programs.

Seventy of United Way’s top 100 accounts in 2007 managed

their campaigns through eWay. Electronic pledge processing

and campaign management rose by nearly $3 million last year

to $11.3 million.

Advocacy is a critical component of United Way’s work. From legislative policy to word of mouth information – advocacy is about being a champion – a proponent.

Whether that takes place in Annapolis or at the local coffee house or through the countless

committees and boards our volunteers and staff are a part of, United Way is dedicated to

making sure critical social issues have public awareness and support.

United Way started using social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to get

people involved. By posting awareness messages online and participating in national United

Way events like a Facebook Challenge, United Way of Central Maryland is helping raise

awareness and reach new audiences.

Across the state, United Way staff is working hard on various advocacy initiatives, including

joint legislation with the Maryland Alliance for the Poor and support for the Universal

HealthCare Access Campaign – a collaboration with Healthcare for All.

Staff also worked with United Way of America’s public policy team to write a manual that

provides a hands-on approach to advocacy and public policy.

VOLUNTEER198.6 million — That’s the number of hours 1.2 million Marylanders generated by sharing their time between 2005 and 2007. United Way firmly believes the power of time is just as important as the power of money.Volunteering is a key component of United Way’s mission. It’s also one of the three things the

organization encourages everyone to do.

4,352The number of volunteers that worked on the campaign, served on internal committees, boards

and councils and gave their time to hands-on projects last year.

United Way relies heavily on these caring and committed individuals.

Share YourselfThrough shareyourself.org, United Way’s free online volunteer center, people in central

Maryland are able to find volunteer opportunities that fit their needs.

Last year there were 1,393 people registered on the site. More than 63 percent were employed

full-time while nearly 17 percent were students. The majority were looking for opportunities

for themselves, though 15 percent were looking for activities they could do with their family.

More than 40 percent of the users are younger than 40 years old.

National Volunteer WeekIn addition to the volunteer events and activities

in each of the jurisdictions across central

Maryland, United Way supported National

Volunteer Week. Working with companies in

the area, United Way helped generate more

than 1,500 volunteer hours between April 28

and May 3. United Way staff even joined the

fun – preparing meals for the needy, cleaning

and cooking at a local homeless shelter and

helping celebrate spring with individuals with

developmental disabilities.

Women’s Leadership CouncilMore than 50 committed women took part in seven volunteer activities across the region,

helping support at-risk women and children. A true example of sharing time and treasure.

n 1,745 mortgage-related inquiries were answered as the result of a grant by the Maryland State Department of Housing and Community Development to assist Maryland citizens facing possible mortgage-related foreclosures and evictions. This was more than three times the number of service requests in this category in fiscal year 2007.

n 1,295 callers were provided with information on Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) and free tax preparation sites, due in part to 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help’s role as the EITC hotline for the state of Maryland. For tax year 2006, Maryland taxpayers who called the hotline received an estimated $2,360,668 from federal and state EITC campaigns. 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help also piloted a new EITC outreach and education campaign for Spanish-speaking filers. It was possible thanks to funding from Bank of America and partnerships with Baltimore CASH Campaign, CASA and Maryland Committee for Children.

n 600 low-income families in Baltimore City received Thanksgiving bags as part of a partnership with the Maryland Food Bank and six community-based organizations.

2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember phone number that links people who need help or want to give it to the right services. It acts as a barometer of need helping identify gaps in service and emerging needs. This information offers planners and funders a clearer

picture for decision-making.

Last year, 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help, which serves all of central Maryland, collaborated with local and state governments, nonprofit agencies and corporate partners to get information out to individuals and families across the region.

Thanks to 2-1-1 Maryland at United Way of Central Maryland’s First Call for Help:

n 645 families in Baltimore and Harford counties were able to access community resource information and referral services from a single point of access through partnerships with the Baltimore County and Harford County Local Management Boards. Call specialists were also able to link families of children with intensive care needs with case coordination.

n 30,575 service requests in Baltimore City were filled, thanks to a grant from Baltimore City government to support United Way’s efforts to provide professional and timely information and referral services to city residents and service providers.

n 797 callers were able to receive assistance navigating the Service Access and Information Link (S.A.I.L), a web-based tool to help Marylanders apply for social service programs and benefits online thanks to a partnership with the Maryland Department of Resources.

2008 Community Leaders ConferenceFor nearly 40 years, United Way volunteers and staff have gathered bi-annually to share, teach and learn. Last spring, that

meeting was held in Baltimore.

From May 14-16, United Way played host to more than 1,960 dedicated United Way supporters from around the country who gathered during the Community Leaders Conference (CLC).

Three days, four general sessions and 60 learning labs later, participants walked away motivated and clear on their new

mission – LIVE UNITED.

The official hostess of the conference was Patricia M.C. Brown, United Way of Central Maryland’s 2005 Women’s Leadership Council (WLC) co-chair. Brown and the entire WLC welcomed the dedicated people who support United Way into Charm City with flair. The group even helped coordinate a Leadership Forum for more than 120 WLC members and staff from around the country the day before the

conference that featured networking and best practices for WLC groups.

From a Preakness Stakes themed reception at the National Aquarium in Baltimore to an array of amazing speakers, the conference was one of a kind.

Along with United Way of America President and CEO Brian Gallagher, featured speakers included Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Bill Toliver, Managing Director, The

Matale Line and Sheela Murthy, United Way’s own volunteer, Tocqueville Society

member and founder and president of Murthy Law Firm.

Anne Arundel CountyHighlights/Events

n In November 2007, United Way celebrated Family Volunteer Day with the help of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools. Students across the county collected items for the needy and then hundreds of those students and their families gathered at the Board of Education to fill gift baskets. More than 200 boxes and baskets were assembled for the Salvation Army and YWCA. While parents stacked and sorted, kids were able to make cards for sick children at Anne Arundel County Medical Center.

n United Way was proud to be a part of Anne Arundel County’s first Homeless Resource Day in March. The day was designed to help people in need of housing, employment, health care and more find the resources they need. United Way of Central Maryland’s 2-1-1 Maryland at First Call for Help provided resources and easy to remember information about the service. Staff also served on the event’s planning committee.

n Thanks to United Way of Central Maryland, Anne Arundel County youth had greater access to quality afterschool programs with help from a grant from the JCPenney Afterschool Fund. The YWCA of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County received $60,000 to supplement programming and students had a chance to use $50 gift cards for clothing and school supplies.

Bernard Cook Meritorious Leadership Award

The award, designed to recognize community volunteers who demonstrate sustained, superior and outstanding leadership in activities that clearly align with United Way of Central Maryland’s priorities, was presented to George Moran, founder of Moran Insurance. Over the years, Moran has chaired the Anne Arundel County campaign, the Community Partnership Board and served on United Way’s governing board of directors. Through his service he has raised millions for United Way, as well as recruited new volunteer leaders.

n United Way of Central Maryland helped provide Baltimore-area youth with access to quality afterschool programs with the help of a grant from the JCPenney Afterschool Fund. The Baltimore Area Council Boy Scouts of America and Echo House Multi-Service Center each received a $60,000 grant to supplement their afterschool programs. In addition, J. C. Penney Company, Inc. donated $50 gift cards to children participating in each program for clothing and school supplies.

n Close to 2,500 runners took part in the United Way 5K race, part of the Under Armour Running Festival last October. The race helped raise more than $13,000 for United Way.

n Part of the NFL Hometown Huddle, United Way and the Baltimore Ravens once again helped the Sandtown Habitat for Humanity build a home for a new family.

n Baltimore City Schools and shareyourself.org, United Way’s online volunteer center, partnered in May to help the city schools connect with some of the 500 volunteers they were recruiting.

One of the ways United Way fulfills its mission is to raise funds and awareness for fellow nonprofits. United Way of

Central Maryland helps make the agencies it funds more efficient and lowers their overhead. United Way handles more

than two million accounting transactions annually. It absorbs substantial fundraising, marketing, administrative and

customer service expenses, while raising top-line revenues for the agencies funded. United Way of Central Maryland

funds partner agencies even when its own cash flow is slow. Agencies rely on stable, consistent funding from United

Way to serve clients. Occasionally, United Way draws on its line of credit to cover funding because some agencies do

not have the wherewithal to borrow themselves.

United Way of Central Maryland is one of nearly 80 of Maryland’s approximately 20,000 nonprofits to have

earned the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations’ Standards for Excellence credential.
