A MESSAGE FROM
THE BOARD CHAIR
A reflection on the year’s
successes generates hope
and excitement for our
community’s future. Our
Gary Sammons
success to date and in
the future is generated by
United Way’s team of generous partners in
giving, compassionate volunteers, incredible
agency partners and dedicated staff. Our
season of measurable impact instills confidence
in our ability to better serve Escambia County
and those in need. As we approach what
is sure to be another successful year, I encourage
you to join us as we commit to GIVE generously,
ADVOCATE passionately and VOLUNTEER selflessly.
Be a part of our community’s movement to
LIVE UNITED and help grow the opportunities for
all citizens to thrive. We are better together.
A MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT/CEO
90 years ago, innovative
and compassionate leaders
had the vision to create
United Way as a vehicle
through which every citizen
Andrea Krieger
could help strengthen our
community. This is accomplished by creating
opportunites for all citizens. While our community
has seen a great deal of change since United
Way’s founding in 1924, we are still blessed to
have people who commit their hearts and their
resources to serving others. With a recently
revitalized community investment process,
we end the year with hopeful anticipation.
We hope our community will be strengthened
by partners working together to create measured
and positive change in the education, health
and financial stability of all.

SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY IMPACTS
GIVE.
In 2014, we raised $3.2M and leveraged these funds to create an estimated $8.7M impact.
Additionally, funded non-profit programs will use the funding we provide to leverage and draw down
an additional $1.54M. The total impact on our community will be over $10M. In affect more than
215,000 local men, women, and children will be assisted because United Way was here to fund local
programs and leverage community resources to benefit all last year.
ADVOCATE.
You can advocate for those in need by signing up for our eNewsletter so that you are current on
issues impacting our community. Or tell your neighbors and friends about 2-1-1. Information and
Referral Specialists answer calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in their efforts to advocate on behalf
of those in need. In our 2013-14 year, there was a 61% increase in referrals as 36,000 swelled to
69,629. Additionally, when ice storms and flooding impacted our community, United Way was there
to help. Case managers were funded by the Ascend Cares Foundation and the Gulf Power Foundation
to help survivors recover from the devastation nature brought to their doors.
VOLUNTEER.
We grew the number of volunteers serving the community 22%. These volunteers gave 33,714 hours
which the Independent Sector’s values at a rate of $22.55 an hour. In effect, volunteers gave a generous
$760,250 by donating their talent and time to the community. They served through initiatives like
Day of Caring, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), Retired Senior Volunteer Program
(RSVP), Cram the Van and so much more.
LIVE UNITED.
In the 2013-14 year, we continued our Non-Profit Training Series and provided partners with
educational opportunities on Mission Based Management, Volunteer Management, Effective
Meetings, Marketing to Create a Positive Brand and Grant Writing. Non-profit professionals
rated the usefulness of information provided at 90% and felt they increased competency
by 91%. Other significant efforts to affect community change included a conversion of the
community investment process to an online application and reporting model. Focus groups
that included 26 non-profit partners provided input and a commitment to utilize standard
tools to objectively measure shared commitments to community-wide change.

When torrential downpours overwhelmed our community on April 29 and 30, United Way responded. Within a
day, the regional fund at www.helpNWFLrecover.org was active. In 90 days, $64,000 was raised to help those
impacted. Gifts came from as far away as our sister city in Gero, Japan. The United Way Board of Directors
recognized the severity of the need and released $190,000 in reserve funds to prop up community agencies
impacted by flooding and increased demands for their services. Volunteers were directed to help meet needs
as United Way served as a resource for FEMA, Volunteer Florida, Agency Partners and those in need. Many of
those devastated by flooding are still receiving help from 2-1-1 case managers funded by the Ascend Cares
Foundation and the Gulf Power Foundation. United Way provided funding to American Red Cross, AmeriCorps St.
