THREE NEW IMPACT INITIATIVES

MILLION IN UNRESTRICTED GRANTS

MURTLOW.

5
00:00:26.626 --> 00:00:37.871
WELCOME BACK!
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME AGAIN.
>> VERY INTERESTING THESE ARE
MAJOR DOLLARS BEING DOLED OUT.

6
00:00:37.871 --> 00:00:45.578
BUT THIS IS -- THIS FUND AS PART
OF A BROADER INITIATIVE THAT
REALLY KIND OF RESHAPES THE
FUNDING MODEL AT UNITED RIGHT.

7
00:00:45.578 --> 00:00:52.986
>> THAT'S RIGHT OUR BOARD
APPROVED LAST AUGUST A NEW
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK THAT REALLY
FOCUSES ON HELPING THE

8
00:00:52.986 --> 00:00:59.926
STRUGGLING FAMILIES 50 PERCENT
OF WHOM ARE WORKING GET TO A
BETTER PLACE AND PARTICULARLY TO
SELF-SUFFICIENCY SO THIS IS ALL

9
00:00:59.926 --> 00:01:10.370
ABOUT CHANGING THE WAY BE FUN TO
FOCUS ON OUTCOMES RELATED TO THE
GOALS OF THOSE THREE FUNDS.
>> MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT BASIC

10
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:17.377
NEEDS FUND RECIPIENTS,
$4 MILLION IN TOTAL TO NEARLY 50
COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS.
WHAT TYPE OF THINGS WILL THIS

11
00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:25.218
HELP ACHIEVE?
>> IT'S VERY FOCUSED ON REALLY ,
HUNGER, TRANSPORTATION AND
HEALTH.

12
00:01:25.218 --> 00:01:32.225
THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ARE
COMMITTED TO IN THIS CASE ARE
REALLY TRACKING OUTCOMES AND ALL
OF THOSE AREAS AND WE HAVE A

13
00:01:32.225 --> 00:01:37.597
FOCUS ON THE SERVICE TO
RESIDENTS IN ALL SIX OF OUR
COUNTIES.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE BASIC NEEDS

14
00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:44.871
FUND ONE OF THREE KEY FUNDS AND
ANOTHER FAMILY OPPORTUNITY FUND
AND THAT WILL BE LAUNCHED LATER
IN THE YEAR.

15
00:01:44.871 --> 00:01:50.009
>> FAMILY OPPORTUNITY FUND IS
ABOUT MEETING FAMILIES WHERE
THEY ARE AND WORKING WITH
CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN THE

16
00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:55.381
HOUSEHOLD TOGETHER THOSE
STRATEGIES ARE DESIGNED TO BREAK
THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.
THE THIRD IS THE SOCIAL

17
00:01:55.381 --> 00:02:02.555
INNOVATION FUND AND THAT'S ABOUT
THE CYCLE OF INNOVATION IN THE
HUMAN SERVICES SECTOR SOMETHING
THAT RARELY HAPPENS.

18
00:02:02.555 --> 00:02:10.163
>> TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WHEN
I LEARNED ABOUT THAT IT WAS
INTERESTING AND AN INNOVATIVE
WAY TO DO THINGS IN TERMS OF

19
00:02:10.163 --> 00:02:16.536
LAUNCHING NEW PROGRAMS.
HOW DO YOU SEE THE SOCIAL
INNOVATION FUND PLAY OUT.
>> I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY

20
00:02:16.536 --> 00:02:23.576
INTERESTING BECAUSE IF YOU THINK
HOW TIGHT HUMAN SERVICES
AGENCIES TYPICALLY RUN THEY
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF EXCESS

21
00:02:23.576 --> 00:02:32.752
INCOME TO PUT TO NEW IDEAS SO
OUR GOAL IS TO REALLY TRY OUT
THESE IDEAS AND REALLY DECIDE
WHICH ONES ARE WORKING, WHICH

22
00:02:32.752 --> 00:02:40.226
AREN'T WORKING, WHICH CAN BE
SCALED AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
>> AS WE WRAP UP, IT STRIKES ME
THIS NEW FUNDING MODEL AND THE

23
00:02:40.226 --> 00:02:47.467
DIFFERENT FUNDS AND THE IMPACT
UNITED WAY HAS NOT ONLY ON
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES BUT ON
THE HEALTH OF THE ECONOMY AND

24
00:02:47.467 --> 00:02:55.074
YOU CAN TRACK JOBS A NEW
BUSINESS START UPS ON THE ROLE
OF UNITED WAY IN THAT OVERALL
ECONOMIC PICTURE IN THE

25
00:02:55.074 --> 00:03:01.848
COMMUNITY IS BIG.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT SO ALL
THESE THINGS ARE INTERRELATED.
UNITED WAY WILL INVEST

26
00:03:01.848 --> 00:03:06.653
$52 MILLION A YEAR AND PROGRAMS
AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE
REALLY DEDICATED TO MEETING THE
GOALS OF OUR FUNDS AND THAT'S

27
00:03:06.653 --> 00:03:13.660
REALLY IMPORTANT SO THIS IS A
SMALL PIECE OF IT.
IT WILL GROW OVER TIME BUT THAT
IS A BIG INVESTMENT IN WE CAN

28
00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:18.932
ONLY DO IT THROUGH THE
GENEROSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY SO
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER
TIME TO GET TO UNITED WAY.
