Dear Friends of United Way of Ross County,
United Way of Ross County has been helping to improve people’s lives in Ross County since 1937. Over the years, we
have worked with partners from across all areas of the community – government, nonprofits, faith groups, schools and
businesses – to create change and make our community a better place to live. We are committed to collaborating and
engaging the community now and in the future to improve the health and wellness of our families, the educational needs of
our youth, and the financial stability of all.
2015 was a year of growth for United Way of Ross County. We were able to grow our campaign donations and successfully pursue over $135,000 in outside grants to support education, health and financial stability programs in our community.
We were able to fund 30 partner agency programs and six United Way Community Initiative Programs. In 2015, we collaborated with partners to create four new community initiative programs benefitting children and adults in Ross County: the
Mighty Active Pack Club weekend food packs for elementary school children and their families; the Map Your Future Mentoring Program for Middle and High School Students; the Success by 6 Kindergarten Readiness program for every elementary school in the county; and the Volunteer Resource Center that connects volunteers with agencies in need. We
were able to automate the United Way grant process to help save time and money for our organization and partner organizations, and we created two new jobs in Ross County through the Map Your Future Community Connectors Grant. 2015
found us planning our move to our new location at 69 East Water Street, where we now have more efficient, handicappedaccessible office space with a beautiful conference room where we can better collaborate with current and future partners.
The examples of people working together to make all this growth possible should inspire us all. Every member of the United Way of Ross County team should be proud of the role they played in making such successful efforts happen. This annual report is a synopsis of great things accomplished this year, and an example of how LIVING UNITED can make a difference in people’s lives. Thank you to all partners, donors, volunteers and staff for all you continue to do to make Ross
County a better place for us all to live, work and raise our families.
Sincerely,
Catherine M. Whalen
