Just what does United Way do in our Community???
This is a common question we get asked all the time and we are happy to explain!
























We are a 1
st
point of help for callers (since2010)
and all human service agencies refer to us. Last
year we took 104 calls for help. We also had 35
agency postings for assistance. We are a
resource hub and are able to provide
wraparound services for families, along with
adding MIBridges. We are a full service resource
hub, and we follow up with our clients after they
have utilized our services. Satisfaction surveys
show greater than 95% satisfaction and clients
report they would use our services, if necessary,
again as well as refer family and friends. In the
last 18 months we have been able to offer more
intensive services such as budgeting, credit
checks and more in-depth financial literacy
programming. The value of this service is that
these clients are not going door to door to other
human service agencies and are gaining
knowledge of how to better manage their funds
so we arent putting out fires, but are educating
them and making them more self-sufficient
members of our community.


We also contract for Volunteer Coordination Services through our Volunteer Center.

Tax-Aide and
VITA Services

Through our coordination of these
free lower income tax services we
serviced 352 clients in Chippewa,
Luce and Mackinac Counties and
brought a total of $148,440 back to
our community. We utilize
volunteers at LSSU as well as
retirees and they provided almost
$8,000 in donated services. This
service is expected to increase
with more people having to file
taxes to receive their Affordable
Care Act insurance
subsidies/refunds.
Project Backpack-Chippewa County
For 3 years now we have assisted in hosting PBP and we will
have distributed over 1200 backpacks and supplies. Our
next event is just around the corner and you wont want to
miss it! Friday, August 15
th
from 11am to 1pm at VanCitters
Field (on Seymour). NEW this year-we added 7
th
and 8
th

grades! We estimate handing out over 500 packs in just 2
hours, and we will be utilizing 100-150 volunteers! Our
combined budget for this event (DHS, Sal. Army and
UWEUP) is $4,500. PBP not only allows TONS of residents
to give back through multiple events, but the local in-kind
donations we receive, as well as the volunteer time, are
HUGE!!! Last year we had 116 volunteers help us through 3
events. They gave 264 hours with a value of $5,842. Avg.
cost of a pack and contents is $9. We had in-kind and
matching funds of $2,030. Total value: $12,372 in 2013.

NEW this year
7
th
& 8
th
grade

We host National Days of Service including MLK Day, Day of Action,
Global Youth Service Day and 9/11. Annually, we write for mini-grants to
bring outside grant funding in, to carry out projects in the community. This
not only brings dollars to our United Way, but gives volunteers the
opportunity to serve. We brought $1,000 in grant monies into our
community from Lansing and Marquette and had matches of over
$1,000 in-kind of food and other donated supplies.


Lunchtime Learning Training-June 2014

Lunchtime Learning Series (LLS)-each year we coordinate
trainings for our community. We survey the public during the
winter to see what topics they are interested in learning about,
then based on the results we utilize trainers that we know or that
are low cost and have them host 1-3 sessions for us. We typically
have 5-12 attendees per session. This year we utilized Great Lakes
Center for Youth Development out of Marquette for all 3. The
sessions cost us $280 total, with lunch/beverages ($180/session
trainer travel, $20 per session for lunch, $15/person
reimbursement for non UW agencies). Non UW agencies pay a $15
fee and their attendance is about 50%.

Other in-house jobs we have that you may not know about

MPCB-Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body for Chippewa County
For many years UWEUP has been the coordinating agency for MPCB. We are paid contractually in the amount of
$600/quarter or $2400/year and that offsets Traceys salary so less donor funds are used. Our major accomplishments in
2013 were assisting WMH in the Community Assessment and digging down deep into some community issues to see how
community members were affected and how they perceive other community issues. In 2014 we will be getting the results
out to the public, elected officials and government agencies.

PCFO-Barb is the coordinator for the Combined Federal Campaign which is the campaign that all Federal employees have to
be solicited through. In the past, we were reimbursed at $5900 annually but Barb agreed to take on a downstate region for
2014-2015 so that is bringing an additional $5900 for a total of $11,800 to offset her wages.

EFSP-Emergency Food & Shelter Program (FEMA monies)-we are the administrator of this program for Chippewa County
so annually we have an application process and collect a small admin fee of $2% (normally $300-$400) but then we are able
to bring in $17,686 (2013). In the past the amount was near $40,000 but each year it seems to be reduced. This not only
allows other non-UW agencies the opportunity for funding, but also, no one else wanted to coordinate this for our County.
Community Action handles Mackinac and Luce Counties, and their allocation is minimal.

we moved forward with our plan to
create space for community members to
access and manage benefits being
received through Michigan Department
of Human Services.











































Spotlight Recognition-(http://www.unitedwayeup.org/Volunteer/RecognitionSpotlight.aspx for the form)
This Publishers Clearing House style volunteer recognition program gives citizens all over
the EUP the opportunity to thank those that support their programs and give back. Anyone
can nominate an individual, group, business neighbor, and most recently added-Youth
Focused Service. This program is widely accepted throughout the EUP and is well utilized.
This also gives us the basis for our annual Thank You Event at LSSU. We use the pool of
annual winners (36-48/year) to pull our overall winners from and announce them publicly.
This program costs us between $500-650 annually. In-kind for this program is $432
provided by Tony at Cup of the Day.




Removing barriers to Education-Malcolm Alternative School
Since October 2012 we have run a life skills group at Malcolm. From 2012-2013 we had 7
students and then 4 graduated. From 2013-2014 the group really grew and we had 20+ students.
Things we have worked on in the past include obtaining all documentation to get a job (drivers
licenses, state ids, social security cards, birth certificates and tribal membership). We also work
on resumes, job skills, Social media dos and donts, creating workplace email addresses, food,
clothing, secure housing and more. We also bring speakers in, this year it was employers that the
youth chose, to speak on what job opportunities are out there in the community once they have a
high school diploma. We have met with probation officers to get kids on a healthier path as well
as Northern Transitions and Michigan Rehabilitation Services. There arent any travel costs for
Malcolm so we have only spent $228 this entire year. Costs included fees for birth certificates,
graduation gifts and then the bulk was $183 was for food at Feeding America (FA). FAs
calculation is $1/meal so we have provided 183 meals. The students carry the food home with
them. We learned that if you provide groceries, they will attend the group sessions and now they
bring their bags with them when they come each month. 15 students graduated in May.
Students that had no bank accounts, photo ids or social security cards or birth certificates now
have them. Students that had no resumes now do and have bank accounts to cash paychecks
when they get one. They also know United Way is a resource, and past students regularly contact
us for job help and reference letters. 1 success story is that we have been working with a
students probation officer for 2 months and are finally able to report that he has graduated, is
employed and is paying restitution to local businesses he wronged as well as staying out of jail
(Value of restitution paid back to the community will be $10,000). I also had the pleasure of
taking students from my group to Alpena Community College the end of April to let them learn
about certificate programs and what careers are in their reach. This tour was covered by EUP
CAN DO IT. Total trips costs were $500 (Kewadin bus and driver) and $1500 (Air Bear bus and
driver) and lunch was donated by ACC (8 students x $7) at $56 for a value of $2,056. Based on our
surveys, parents dont discuss education with these youth. Value was measured by before and
after surveys. Students reported that they had never been exposed to a college campus and
some had never been below the bridge. They also reported whether they had/had not filled out
the FAFSA, so we are working on that.

For 2 years now Raulaniesa has served as an AmeriCorps member and receives a living stipend from
the Michigan Assoc. of United Ways. We had a cost share the 1
st
year of $2500 and were able to
partner with DHS cover this. For 2013 the cost share increased to $5500
and we offset that by our endowment. For the past 2 years she has
served Full Time in what would equate to at least a $15/hour job, if not more. She travels
the EUP working independently and has spent a lot of time signing clients up for benefits
and teaching them about financial stability. Value of her being employed 2 years
FT = $62,400. Her in-kind tracking of donated office space is $509.16/quarter or $4,073.28
for the last 2 years. She also keeps track of all donated services, lunches, and training
items in the amount of $2,451.00. Total wages and in-kind = $68,924.




















































Removing barriers to Education - Kincheloe Alternative School (KAS)

Since April 2014 we have been running the same group as Malcolm, at Kincheloe
Alternative School (KAS). Things we have worked on in the past months include:
drivers education, finding employment, transportation issues to and from school,
food, footwear and clothing. Raulaniesa visits regularly, and is working with the
entire family unit on budgeting and DHS benefits. We coordinated a service
project with Chippewa County EDC (Tom Ewing) on June 3
rd
so we could get the
kids some positive adult interaction and community recognition. A lot of
individuals and businesses dont even realize the school exists behind the Family
Dollar Store. At KAS we also coordinated a newer fridge for their kitchen to keep
student perishables (through our partnership with Erickson Appliance) and the
value with deliver was $400. So far, the KAS has been funded by MDOC donors
so the cost to us is relatively low at $33.73, and that includes travel. So far, we
have been able to obtain not only donors that feel passionate about helping these
students, but the items also have value that we have secured in the amount of $850
(clothing, footwear, hygiene items). Future projects include getting a washer and
dryer installed at the school and holding drivers ed class at KAS in August. We
also plan to partner with the EDC again this fall in a street clean-up project, and
would like to coordinate a campus tour of LSSU.
For more information on how your student can join our group
email Billie at bennes@eup.k12.mi.us.

Continuum of Care

For the past 10 years we have coordinated the C of C out of our office and, because we have a C of C, we have assisted in bringing
nearly $100,000 annually to the EUP region. This is the homeless network of providers that meets each month to discuss housing
options, coordinate funding, and work to fill gaps in service in the EUP. They are working on becoming regional now and our
coordination funds have been cut, however the United Way, has agreed to continue coordination because if we dont, we arent sure
what will occur and they might not collaborate as much as they do now with a set location and leader. We used to get $1550 per
quarter for services and that was $6,200/year. This group also puts on homeless events each year (budget is $500/event) and we use
these events to count the number of homeless and those at risk of being homeless, as well as other demographic information to put
into HMIS so we can continue to receive homeless dollars from the State of MI. Annually, for the 3 Project Connect (PC) events we
spent $885 at Feeding America and that provided 885 meals (at a calculation of $1/meal). The donated goods and services received
at each event vary by vendors and location (i.e. hair salons attend at a much better rate in Luce Co., Goodwill donates more clothing
in Chippewa Co., Salvation Army brings their canteen services) but we estimate $300 for the FREE grocery store, $300 in donated
used clothing, $600 for hair cutting services ($12/person), and the Feeding America (mobile food pantry) at $1,000, for a raw total
per county of $2,200. In Mackinac County we added $359 because Raulaniesa developed an entire Carnival in conjunction with the
PC. In Luce and Mackinac they also coordinate their local Project Backpack distributions the same day, but currently do not
coordinate through United Way.


What people say about United Way and our Programs:

Help Calls
I was nervous until I met Raulaniesa. She was exceptionally considerate and respectful. Raulaniesa helped me
to apply for ERS from DHS. It was much easier with her help! I have dealt with a lot of Government agencies
in the last three years. I have never felt as comfortable as I did with Raulaniesa.
Kellie S.

I had a good experience with United Way. I was having trouble getting through to an agency to get my case
moving or solved. United Way went to bat and made connections and made the problem get solved.
Alan R.


VITA-Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
We are senior appreciated the service! We do not have over $200 to get taxes done with no hope of any tax
return,
Phillip L.

I am grateful for this program. I think it also benefits the students at the college, its hands on learning.
Everyone there is very professional and polite.
Mary H.

I believe the program is a win-win situation. The students get experience and it helps out the community. On
the job experience is the best because it gives you an idea of what it will be like the work-a-day world.
Andrea A.

Project Backpack-Anonymous
This was very helpful. I have a foster home and many kids to buy for, so this was very very helpful.
My son is now more excited about school because he has supplies. Very good experience!
With the economy, this made a big impact on my child and grandchild
I serve as an AmeriCorps Financial Empowerment Coach at United Way of the Eastern Upper
Peninsula in Sault Ste. Marie; my name is Raulaniesa Aranda. I have been working with families
needing a little extra help in the budgeting department since October of 2013. Recently, Ive been
in contact with a family who, under normal circumstances, wouldnt be expected upon first glance
of needing services like the ones I offer. When people ask what kind of clients I have, I suspect
theyre thinking theyll hear something along the lines of someone with no common sense, or very
little income who needs to learn how to grocery shop properly. I would guess they wouldnt expect
to hear that I work with clients who have regular income, living well above the federal poverty
guideline that own their homes and vehicles and have cabins where they vacation. Its surprising to
some, to know that everyday people living everyday lives have a need for a financial coach too.
Life gets messy and people get stressed out quickly. One such couple I have been working with
had just that happen. They dont live above their means, theyre fairly conservative with their
money but theyve recently taken on trying to raise a grandchild. This isnt all that uncommon;
families lean on one another because circumstances dictate the need for it. Now a middle-aged
couple, with a decent income, is suddenly trying to find a way to incorporate a third family
member in addition to any financial assistance they try to give to their own adult child. After
attending a budgeting workshop I had hosted locally, they approached me about one-on-one help
for other resources initially help with foster family resources and the like. Now, we meet
regularly to discuss options on getting ahead of bill due dates and budgeting in family vacations to
create some normalcy in their grandchilds life. The family was recently able to take a weekend
trip, and was thrilled when I showed them that they could even incorporate in an allowance for a
mini-shopping trip while they were out of town. It just goes to show that we can all use a little help
now and then when it comes to managing money in our daily lives.

The donations and corporate matches raised during these workplace campaigns account for
roughly 65% of United Ways annual income. More individuals and businesses choose to
make their charitable impact through United Way than any other local non-profit
organization. We also participate in the State Employees Campaign (SECC) and the
Federal Employees Campaign (CFC).

OUR OPERATI ONS
MISSION STATEMENT
To advance the common good by mobilizing the caring
power of communities.

AN OPEN-BOOK POLICY
In an effort to be as accountable as possible, United Way is
open and transparent when it comes to its financial
records. Monthly statements are compiled by an
independent CPA (Lori Langendorf), and our annual audit is
conducted by another independent firm (Anderson-
Tackman). These documents are available by request. In
addition, our annual IRS Tax Form 990 and annual audit
are both available for public review on our website at
www.unitedwayeup.org.





All funding decisions are made by local volunteers serving on the
Community Investment Committee (above). Volunteers work through a
five-month process to review all budget requests, visiting each partner
agency, and providing written recommendations to the Board of
Trustees.

















MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Each year, United Way of the EUP must prove that it
meets 7 requirements for United Way Worldwide
membership along with the verification of the status of 56
indicators that demonstrate it embodies the intent of the
membership requirements.

Partner Agencies of the United Way of the EUP pay no
dues or service fees to be a part of our federation.
Relations with Partner Agencies follow the Statement of
Understanding found in United Way of the EUPs annual
Agency Agreement that each agency signs.
The United Way Volunteer Center hosts a Volunteer Thank you
Luncheon at LSSU each April during National Volunteer Week. This year
our speaker was David Price of MARO. We had 320 community
members and volunteers in attendance. For more info on how to attend,
