UNITEDWAY REPORT TO 2015 THESILICON VALLEY COMMUNITY 2016 ®

Dear Friends:Thanks to the support of a caring community, we are making a difference in the lives ofchildren and families who are working hard to lift themselves up and pursue their dreams.At United Way Silicon Valley, we are committed to changing community conditions so thateveryone has opportunities for a good life no matter where they live or go to school.While Silicon Valley is an area of great wealth, nearly one in three families can’t makeends meet. Recent data shows that as the median household income has increased inSanta Clara County, so have poverty rates. More people are living in poverty in SiliconValley than they were five years ago, yet the median rent is 20 percent higher. It’s anuntenable situation for those who simply don’t earn enough to pay their bills and put foodon the table.United Way Silicon Valley is helping families become more economically secure. Thatmeans providing a safety-net for families in crisis and helping adults get the tools theyneed to obtain gainful employment and the tax credits they deserve.We believe that more economically secure families are better able to support theirchildren’s educational success, and numerous studies confirm this. We also know that aquality education is the key to economic security. That’s why we are focused on helpingchildren read proficiently by the end of third grade, a critical indicator of how well astudent will do throughout the rest of their school years.To ensure that everyone has access to the help they need to improve their life, United Wayprovides a direct line to local services through our 211 call line and online database.Callers talk to a trained call specialist and can get information and referrals to hundreds ofhealth and human services in more than 170 languages anytime day or night.The pages of this report detail how United Way Silicon is investing in key partners,collaborating with other organizations and community groups, advocating for importantpublic policies, and providing programs that are changing lives.Remember, behind every changed life is someone who makes it happen. If we all worktogether, we can make it happen for the many children and families in our community whojust need someone to care.   Kailesh Karavadra Sandra MileyChair, Board of Directors Interim President & CEO 1

INCOME Goal: Help local people make ends meet and become economically secure.Economic security means not having to forgo one basic need over another – such as housing, health care, child care or food – due to lack ofincome. The Self-Sufficiency Standard measures the actual cost of living for different household types depending on the number of adults andchildren, including costs for housing, food, health care, taxes and child care. Families need to make ends meet before they can set asidemoney for savings and begin to feel economically secure.What is United Way doing to meet this goal? Economic Security OutcomesUnited Way Silicon Valley creates opportunities for local families and individuals to ■ Family members attain/retain employmentget the tools they need to increase financial stability and their long-term economic ■ Family members increase their ability to manageindependence.

EDUCATIONGoal: Help students achieve reading proficiency by the end of 3rd grade.Quality education is the key to economic success, yet some children are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting one. Children fromfinancially strapped families often miss out on critical early learning opportunities that help prepare them for school. Many live in districtswhere schools are overburdened and under-resourced. Nearly one in four students in Santa Clara County is an English-language learner,meaning they start school lacking the English-language skills needed to succeed in regular instructional programs.What is United Way doing to support education? Children’s Educational Success OutcomesGive every child an even start to lifelong success by mobilizing ■ Parents and caregivers effectively support children’svolunteers and community partners, investing in programs and developmentprojects that prepare our children to: ■ Children are socially and emotionally ready to learn when■ Enter kindergarten ready to learn they reach kindergarten■ Read proficiently by the end of 3rd grade■ Make a successful transition from elementary to middle school ■ Elementary and middle school students are socially, emotionally, and academically prepared for high school successNearly 1 in 3 students in Santa Clara 5age By age 5,County public schools is considered KIDS LIVING IN POVERTY HAVE fallenlow-income. more than 2 years behind on standardized languageNearly 1 in 4 is an English development tests as they enterlanguage learner. school.

Families that are struggling financially are often the community, for the most part they are concentrated in low-incomefamilies that do not have the time and/or resources to devote to neighborhoods and attending low-performing schools.KIDS LIVING IN POVERTY age A student who can't read at When 4th gradeARE 6 MONTHS BEHIND grade level by 3rd grade is2development by the time begins and kids mustTHEIR PEERS in language 4 times less likely “read to learn,”they reach age 2. to graduate high school. they fall farther behind.Making Every Minute CountLuis never thought he was good in school. Over time, the fourth-grader’s struggles with school turned into a poor attitude andfailing grades. Halfway through the school year, his teacher called his parents in for a conference. They were told that Luis was noton track to move to the fifth grade with the rest of his class. He could be held back if he didn’t turn his grades around.His teacher recommended an afterschool homework program offered by the Boys and Girls Club, a United Way Silicon Valley partneragency. The Power Hour: Making Minutes Count program provided Luis with the opportunity to work with a tutor. The programencourages young people to view homework as an opportunity to learn to work independently, successfully complete projects ontime, and feel positive about their school accomplishments. Unlike assignments done in class, Power Hour work is conducted in anon-threatening and fun environment using tutors called “Homework Helpers.”The program helped Luis see that he was capable of doing the work. Soon he was motivated to get good grades, and when he sawthe results of his hard work, his attitude changed. In just one semester, Luis went from failing grades to the honor roll. Today he isa successful student who has the confidence to achieve his academic goals. 5

ENGAGED VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT EDUCATIONComplementing our advocacy, coalition and grant work, United Way Silicon Valley coordinates numerous volunteer engagementprojects to help improve educational outcomes for young students in challenging situations. United Way volunteers make atangible difference and experience firsthand the positive impact from their efforts.Projects focused on students and their families at elementary schools in East San Jose because many families here face multiplesocio-economic challenges that hinder academic success. Nearly three out of four children in the Alum Rock Union School Districtare not entering kindergarten ready to learn. Less than half of these third-graders are proficient readers. SUMMER READING KITS Young students who don’t continue to read over the summer are likely to lose crucial ground. Thanks to local corporate sponsors, more than 3,500 students at seven schools received age-appropriate books and resources to increase summer reading for the entire family. HOLIDAY GIVING This broad-based effort, in partnership with Family Giving Tree, saw more than 250 volunteers participate by donating gifts and money, sorting, wrapping and/or distributing gifts. More than 3,000 students at target schools received items from their holiday wish list as well as a teacher-selected book to promote reading. Read Across America Day Observed each year in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, this day celebrates the love of reading. Dr. Seuss epitomizes that and by honoring his birthday, we send a strong message to children that reading is fun and important. This year 100+ volunteers spread the joy of reading with hundreds of eager elementary school students. Healthy Test Day Snack Bags Test-taking can be an anxiety-producing time for many students. Thanks to corporate sponsorship and the efforts of 85 volunteers, 2,200 students were provided healthy snack bags at six local elementary schools on test day. In addition to providing nutritious brain food, research shows that youth who feel adults care about their success are more likely to do well in school. Days of Action These weeklong events brought together hardworking volunteers who helped to improve learning environments and school facilities. More than 800 community and corporate volunteers descended on Russo-McEntee and Cassell elementary schools this spring, where they built gardens, planted trees, painted, and redecorated to make a positive impact on the school and surrounding neighborhood. 6

PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL HEALTHGoal: Help families live healthier lives.Income and education are considered social determinants of health. They lead to resources that promote good health, the finalbuilding block for a good life. These resources include access to health care, nutritious food and safe neighborhoods. At the sametime, good physical and emotional health makes it much easier to get an education and hold down a job.What is United Way doing to meet this goal? Physical and Emotional Health OutcomesUnited Way advocates for policies that promote good health such as ■ Family members maintain and/or improve theirproviding health coverage to low-income children through the physical, dental, and emotional healthChildren’s Health Initiative, reducing the barriers to the CalFreshfood stamp program, and improving access to dental care.

They learned the basics they need to know to prepare and eat healthy foods on their own, at home, atof low-income families to have healthier food. school, and when ordering from restaurants. 7

CONNECTED TO COMMUNITYGoal: Help people become actively engaged in their lives and in their community.Throughout the recent Santa Clara Community Assessment Project people expressed a desire to know their neighbors, get moreinvolved in their children’s school, help to make the parks safer and cleaner, teach neighborhood children about respect, and learnabout other cultures, but many said they don’t know how to get started. Rather than look to institutions, participants typicallysaid that it is up to individuals and the community to make improvements in these areas.What is United Way doing to meet this goal? Connected to Community OutcomesTo help families get more connected to their community, United ■ Family members develop civic and communityWay supports partnerships and collaborations that will engage leadership skillsresidents in community-building activities like neighborhoodimprovement projects and social events.

ADVOCACYMoney alone cannot solve our most pressing communityneeds. Public policy can be a significant catalyst forchange and that is why advocacy is one strategy UnitedWay Silicon Valley employs in its ongoing efforts toimprove local lives. United Way's advocacy work isfocused on changing the systems that shape communityconditions to help individuals and families achievefinancial stability and independence.As part of the Coalition Against Payday Predators (CAPP),United Way continued its efforts to educate the region’selected officials about the destructive cycle of paydaylending. In April, CAPP was successful in getting the cityof Morgan Hill to adopt a restrictive payday-lendingordinance. Through CAPP’s efforts, more than half of thecities in Santa Clara County have adopted ordinances that restrict payday lending activity.In collaboration with health advocates across the state, United Way was proud to support SB 4 (Lara), the Health for All Act.This bill would extend access to health coverage for all Californians, regardless of immigration status. In an unprecedentedmove, Governor Brown also included $40 million in the State budget to expandWord count I gave you: 28 Medi-Cal to cover alllow-income children, regardless of immigration status. This investment in health coverage for children, regardless ofimmigration status, may pave the way for all undocumented individuals to have access to health care someday.211 SANTA CLARA COUNTY The 211 system connects people to health and human services in 24/7 in over 170 languages. Now, in its eighth year in Santa Clara County, the toll-free number and website connect users to local services such as counseling, food, housing, employment assistance, health care and more. During a disaster, 211 provides critical information about evacuation routes, food and shelter, as well as support with finding new jobs and permanent housing during long-term recovery.■ In the past year, 211’s trained and certified phone specialists helped 31,323 callers.
