United Way is uniquely able
to bring our community
together to improve lives.
.
By leveraging the power of all of us.
United Way of Greenville County brings
together donors, volunteers, nonprofits,
neighborhoods, companies, schools,
governments and more—to do the kind of
work that none of us can do alone.
Results happen because United Way takes a strategic
approach to helping people and solving issues.
United Way:
•
asked our community “What is important?” to pinpoint the most pressing needs.
•
develops strategies with measurable objectives.
•
generates necessary resources by engaging partners around shared goals to
implement strategies.
•
measures and reports results to the community.
An example of your impact:
GRADUATE GREENVILLE
THE NEED
Nearly one out of every four Greenville County students will not graduate high school in four years.
THE STRATEGY
Establish a partnership to initiate and implement a community-wide effort to improve high school
success and increase the graduation rates in Greenville County.
MOBILIZATION OF PARTNERS AND RESOURCES
United Way of Greenville County, Greenville County Schools, and The Alliance for Quality Education
established GRADUATE GREENVILLE, with the goal of raising the most recent Greenville
County graduation rate of 69.6% to 85%
REPORTING PROGRESS
• Development of an early warning system to identify "at risk" students as they enter high school is
underway.
• Graduation coaches are in place in three high schools to provide targeted students with the extra
support and counseling necessary to help them pass the critical 9th grade year.
• The "Opening Doors to Success“ event is held in August of each year. Community volunteers will
knock on the doors of high school students who did not show up for school during the first week
of classes and invite them to return to school.
An example of your impact:
GREENVILLE HOUSING FUND
THE NEED
Poor housing affects both child educational attainment and the health of its occupants, and fosters
neighborhood decline.
THE STRATEGY
Leverage local resources by developing a local housing trust fund to educate the community about
affordable housing needs; help finance affordable housing development; and increase local market
opportunities for affordable housing for residents
MOBILIZATION OF PARTNERS AND RESOURCES
The Greenville Housing Fund was developed through a partnership between United Way of Greenville
County, the City of Greenville and the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority. United Way
has invested $500,000 over a three-year period to be used as start-up funding.
REPORTING PROGRESS
United Way’s investment will assist in the production of 85 new affordable housing units over three
years. With United Way and other resources the Greenville Housing Fund expects that 200
affordable units will be available over three years.
An example of your impact:
DENTAL INITIATIVE
THE NEED
More than 75,000 people in Greenville County have not seen a dentist in the last year – mostly
because of cost. A 2003 community health assessment revealed that access to oral health care
in Greenville County for those who earn low wages is extremely limited.
THE STRATEGY
• Establishment of a community-based dental practice with a full range of oral health services
• Operation of a Mobile Dental Unit, which travels to churches, schools, shelters, and other
community sites to provide preventive services.
MOBILIZATION OF PARTNERS AND RESOURCES
• United Way has invested more than $300,000 in the project. Those seed dollars leveraged more
than $2 million from organizations to support the project.
• New Horizon Family Health Services operates the dental practice.
• Bon Secours St. Francis Health System operates the Mobile Unit with services provided by New
Horizon Family Dental Care and Greenville Technical College’s Dental Program.
REPORTING PROGRESS
More than 7,000 individuals will benefit from services of dental practice programs each year.
Your contributions advance the common good
in our community.
