• COMMUNITY RESILIENCY COMMUNITY RESILIENCY ENCOMPASSES CAPACITY BUILDING AND DISASTER RESILIENCY. CAPACITY BUILDING LEVERAGES OUR EXPERTISE TO SUPPORT, ENHANCE AND INVEST IN OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS. DISASTER RESILIENCY IS OUR COMMITMENT TO PROACTIVE PREPARATION AND RESPONSE TO DISASTERS AND EMERGING CHALLENGES. CAPACITY BUILDING IS BEST DEFINED AS INVESTMENT. THAT IS BECAUSE OUR INVESTMENTS IN PARTNER PROGRAMS AND CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS YIELD A RETURN FOR THE COMMUNITY. EVERY DOLLAR WE INVEST IN INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF OUR PARTNERS RETURNS A VALUE OF $2.75 TO THE COMMUNITY. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)WE HAVE BUILT OUR CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS ON A FOUNDATION OF CARE THAT IS DATA-INFORMED, AND PEOPLE-FOCUSED. TO ACHIEVE HIGH QUALITY COMMUNITY IMPACT, OUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY INCLUDES SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUR PARTNER PROGRAMS AS WELL AS SHARING OUR EXPERTISE AND ELIMINATING OUR PARTNERS' ADMINISTRATIVE BARRIERS. INSTEAD OF JUST ASKING OUR PARTNERS ABOUT THEIR PLANS FOR SUSTAINABILITY, WE CONTRIBUTE TO IT: OUR PARTNERS LEVERAGED AN ADDITIONAL $7.7 MILLION THROUGH ADDITIONAL GRANTS AND DONATIONS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR INVESTMENT. WHEN WE STRENGTHEN THE SKILLS, INSTINCTS, ABILITIES, PROCESSES, AND RESOURCES THAT ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO SURVIVE, WE INCREASE THE IMPACT OF OUR INVESTMENTS AND OUR LEADERSHIP. DISASTER RESILIENCY DEVELOPS MORE IMPACTFUL AND EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES THAT CREATE LASTING COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, AND MOBILIZE EFFORTS EFFICIENTLY AMONGST ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN DISASTER. DURING A DISASTER, UNITED WAY SUNCOAST WORKS DILIGENTLY TO ORGANIZE RESOURCES, CONNECT THOSE IN NEED WITH AGENCIES THAT CAN HELP, COORDINATE VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, GROW FUNDING AND GRANT PROGRAMS, BRIDGE COMMUNICATION, AND LEVERAGE RELATIONSHIPS TO ENSURE OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO RECOVER. IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANES HELENE AND MILTON IN 2024, UWS HAS INVESTED $1.2 MILLION FROM ITS "TOGETHER WE RECOVER FUND" THROUGH COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH ITS NONPROFIT PARTNERS, WITH PLANS TO INVEST ANOTHER $1 MILLION BEFORE THE END OF 2025. IN ADDITION TO COLLABORATIVELY WORKING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN DISASTERS (COADS) AND VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN DISASTERS (VOADS) ACROSS ALL COUNTIES, UNITED WAY SUNCOAST IS THE LEAD AGENCY FOR THE MANATEE COUNTY COAD. IN THIS ROLE, WE BRING TOGETHER NONPROFITS, FAITH-BASED GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING COMMUNITIES BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER DISASTERS. THE GOAL IS TO AMPLIFY OUR EFFORTS AND REVERSE A PREDICTABLE PATTERN: DEVASTATION STRIKES, HELP ARRIVES, HEADLINES FADE, AND COMMUNITIES ARE LEFT TO REBUILD ALONE - UNTIL THE NEXT DISASTER HITS AND THE CYCLE REPEATS. BY HELPING RESIDENTS TAP INTO SOMETHING BIGGER - A SUSTAINED NETWORK OF SUPPORT, TECHNOLOGY, AND PARTNERSHIPSCOMMUNITIES ARE NOT JUST RECOVERING; THEY ARE PERMANENTLY DISRUPTING THE CYCLE OF VULNERABILITY.

• R.I.S.E UNITED WAY SUNCOAST IS ENTRUSTED WITH A 100-YEAR BEACON THAT DEMANDS OUR BEST. THAT LIGHT AND OUR DECADES OF SUCCESS PROMPTED PHILANTHROPIST MACKENZIE SCOTT TO DONATE $20 MILLION DOLLARS TO THE ORGANIZATION IN DECEMBER OF 2020. THROUGH THOUGHTFUL DETERMINATION, UNITED WAY SUNCOAST CREATED THE R.I.S.E. (REACH, INVEST, SUPPORT AND EMPOWER) TASK FORCE AND A BLUEPRINT THAT ALIGNS WITH ITS NEW STRATEGIC PLAN WHILE STAYING FOCUSED ON THE KEY IMPACT AREAS OUTLINED ABOVE: EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY AND FINANCIAL SECURITY.

RISE DOLLARS ALSO WERE INVESTED TO HELP WITH MID- AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY FROM HURRICANES IAN, NICOLE, AND IDALIA. WE INITIATED $1.3 MILLION IN MID- AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY EFFORTS. THAT INCLUDED MORE THAN $600,000 IN GRANTS TO STRATEGIC PARTNERS, POSITIVELY IMPACTING MORE THAN 30,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. RISE DOLLARS ALSO HAVE MORE CHILDREN ARRIVING ON THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN WITH RAISED HANDS, EAGER MINDS, AND ATTENTIVE EARS. RISE DOLLARS SUPPORT SERVING QUALITY CHILDCARE CENTERS, SCHOOLS OF FOCUS AND UNITED4LITERACY SITES. WE ARE PUTTING MORE BOOKS IN THE HANDS OF STUDENTS, MORE GUIDANCE IN THE MINDS OF PARENTS, AND MORE LOVE AND SUPPORT IN THE LIVES OF EARLY-LEARNING INSTRUCTORS AND TEACHERS. WE CONTINUE TODAY TO COLLABORATE WITH OUR PARTNERS TO HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES BROUGHT ON BY NATURAL STORMS AND LIFE'S DAILY STORMS AND WE BELIEVE EARLY LEARNING AND EDUCATION REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO HELP THEM DEAL WITH THOSE STORMS. OVERALL, UNITED WAY SUNCOAST'S STRATEGIC USE OF RISE DOLLARS IMPACTED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 460,000 HOUSEHOLDS THROUGH EARLY LEARNING, FINANCIAL SECURITY, AND YOUTH SUCCESS INITIATIVES OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD.
