MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO/CHAIRMAN
I am honored to greet you as the new President and CEO of The Urban League of Philadelphia (ULP), and look
forward to leading the critically important work of this 97-year-old community lifeline. It is with a spirit of
solidarity and resolve that I approach the transition from the dynamic twelve-year tenure of Patricia A. Coulter.
I am supported by an experienced and committed Board of Directors, and buoyed by the skill, professionalism
and enthusiasm of the ULP’s administration and staff.
We successfully raised over $3.6 million during Fiscal 2014 year, and
for that we are grateful to the individuals, corporations, organizations,
foundations and other generous donors who not only believe in our
mission, but also believe that ULP is uniquely positioned to empower
our constituents through economic parity, self-sustainability, and upward
mobility. We have much work to do and collaborations, partnerships, and
financial contributions will continue to allow us to be that bridge to both
economic and civic possibility.
During Fiscal Year 2014, our financial growth and overall positive
performance allowed us to advance our charge as a vital connector
between the African American community and the business world –
as a bridge to employment, housing, entrepreneurial empowerment
and equal access to education for our youth.
The year was filled with accomplishments of which we can be proud.
Our Career Services team placed 129 clients into jobs, a 20 percent
increase over 2013. The Community Scholars program expanded, and
we were delighted to award 93 scholarships. In addition, two of our
affinity groups recently won national awards for their exceptional
accomplishments; The Urban League of Philadelphia Guild was presented
with the Eastern Region Community Service and Fundraising Award
for raising over $66,000 for ULP programs and services, and NExT
Philadelphia received the Be A Better Bud Award for $4,000.
The great African American poet Gwendolyn Brooks is credited with saying,
“We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business;
we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” She – like the ULP –
was born in 1917, and her quote perfectly states the passion with which we
approach the honorable work of permanently improving the condition of
the African American communities and neighborhoods in which we operate.
I invite you to read on and share our pride in making an impact
in the Greater Philadelphia region.
Below are additional highlights of the ways ULP served its
constituents during the program year:
“We are
each other’s
magnitude
and bond.”
- GWENDOLYN BROOKS
• Our Community Scholarship program awarded $161,000 to
93 local high school and college students.
• Our Urban League Entrepreneurship Center (ULEC) served
791 small business clients, resulting in the creation of $3.2
million in contracts and capital.
• The Urban Leadership Forum, one of our signature career
programs for middle managers, graduated 28 employees from
the region’s top corporations.
• Housing coaches and counselors from our Community and
Economic Development team served nearly 1,300 clients,
resolving 177 foreclosure issues and facilitating the purchase
of seven homes.
• Our Gear Up youth program secured 50 summer internships
and enrolled over 575 students aged 14 to 18.

PROGRAM OVERVIEWS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
For nearly 100 years, the Urban League of Philadelphia has
stood in unwavering dedication to empowering African
Americans through education, employment, entrepreneurship,
and advocacy. This mission is as necessary today as ever, as our
community grapples with the after-effects of an economic
downturn that caused returns to the nest, compromised incomes,
continuous layoffs, and elusive home ownership. Equitable access
for African Americans in particular remains an uphill climb for
even the most educated and trained.
As a vital and well-connected bridge to possibility, the ULP is a
part of the 21st century transformation in which the entire Greater
Philadelphia region is engaged. As such it is our responsibility
to ensure that new opportunities are abound for the varying
segments of our broader community. ULP is about the business
of empowerment and we are joined in these effort by our donors,
corporate partners, and stakeholders all of whom recognize the
power of diversity in the global economy. If the region is to realize
its vision of becoming truly world class, then the Urban League of
Philadelphia is prepared to be play its role in attaining that vision.
ADVOCACY AND POLICY
The challenges faced by our constituents in the 21st century differ
in many ways from those we battled at our founding in 1917;
however, generations of oppression, exclusion and marginalization
continue to have an adverse impact on our community, even
with substantial gains. The racial divide is evident in the news
headlines that feature abominable conditions in our schools and
the continued concerns about safety for our youth.
“It is our responsibility to
ensure that new opportunities
are abound for the varying
segments of our broader
community.”
The ULP is a regional advocate and works with fervor to advance
causes and strategies that impact voter engagement, Black male
achievement, healthcare access, education reform, and more.

ADVOCACY AND POLICY continued
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
OCCUPY THE VOTE
Leading up to the first enrollment period
deadline for the Affordable Care Act (ACA),
President Barack H. Obama dispatched
representatives to Pennsylvania to assess
the success of program’s outreach. ULP,
in conjunction with Service Employees
International Union (SEIU) Pennsylvania, SEIU
International, state and local officials, and the
Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN),
were key partners in the push to educate the
communities we serve about ACA benefits and
enrollment. Over 5,000 area residents were
reached through our efforts.
As a part of ULP’s Occupy the Vote
Movement, during the 2013 National Urban
League Conference, we orchestrated a largescale canvass using the Urban League’s
Young Professionals from affiliates across
the country. During this canvass, Young
Professionals were placed in “hot spots” all
across the city to conduct voter registrations
and to secure pledges to vote from Philadelphia
residents. In just a short 45 minute time frame,
they acquired over 20 voter registrations and
over 100 pledges to vote.
The ULP’s support of Voting Rights and
Election Protection continued via partnerships
with Common Cause PA, the Advancement
Project and PENNPirg. We joined forces with
these groups to work toward the passage
of Senate Bill 37 (SB37), which would pave
the way for online voter registration in
Pennsylvania. Together we organized and
executed a “Day of Action” in Harrisburg to
draw attention to SB37, as well as to advocate
for its immediate placement on the house
vote agenda. The day began with a rally in
the Capitol rotunda. Former ULP President
and CEO Pat Coulter joined bill sponsor State
Senator Lloyd Smucker to address the public,
elected officials and media on its advantages
for not only the communities we serve, but the
entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
day culminated with legislative visits to priority
house elected officials. We are pleased to say
that the bill passed unanimously in the Senate
and is now awaiting its turn on the house floor.
During the 2013 National Conference, as
part of our Equity and Excellence Program,
ULP collaborated with The Urban League of
Greater Pittsburgh and The Urban League
of Shenango Valley to convene a two-day
symposium focused on two key issues:
statewide implementation of Common
Core State Standards, and addressing
inequities in the educational system
faced by the African American
community.
Our work to maximize enrollment in the ACA was recognized by the White
House! In March 2014, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel (with ULP Board
Chair Robert Keyes, ULP Co-Board Chair Scott Bass, and ULP staff) held a press
conference with local and national media at the ULP office to acknowledge the
extensive education and outreach work that we, and our partners, conducted.
Annual Report

This statewide coalition of NUL affiliates
works together to advocate for the effective
implementation of Common Core State
Standards throughout the year by attending
educational forums and conducting outreach in
both the community and the PA legislature.
Our Equity and Excellence keynote speaker was
David Johns, Executive Director of the White House
Initiative on Educational Excellence for African
Americans.
The ULP’s ongoing advocacy
against passage of unfair voter ID laws
and exposing voter suppression in
African American communities was
recognized by the National Commission
of Voting Rights. As a result we were
invited to participate in a recent
voting rights panel that received
national news coverage.
BUSINESS TALENT AND DIVERSITY
The harsh financial aftermath of “The Great Recession” has largely erased hard-won economic gains made by
African American families over the last two generations. While we are encouraged by reports that Philadelphia
has recovered 120 percent of all jobs lost in the downturn, local unemployment continues to lag behind both the
national and Commonwealth averages. In addition, nearly one out of five black and Latino workers are underemployed, according to the National Urban League’s recently released 2014 State of Black America report.
According to the state’s Labor Department,
there are about 276,000 Pennsylvanians who
are underemployed and are “working part time
for economic reasons.” They include 47,900
people who usually work full-time but are
working part-time, and 228,000 people who
usually work part-time but are working less
than they normally would. This includes workers
who want to work full-time but can only find
part-time work, or want to work part-time
but cannot get enough hours. For minimum
and low wage workers, the struggle is even
further compounded.
Connect to Work
graduates
It is imperative that we consider the national
and long-term outlook. According to the
Center for Economic and Policy Research,
the overall rate of Black unemployment has
been twice as high as the White unemployment
rate for the last 50 years. Statistics for recent
college graduates are sobering as well.
As of 2013, 12.4 percent of Black college
graduates between the ages of 22 and 27
were unemployed, while the rate for all
college graduates in the same age range
is just 5.6 percent. The Center’s data about
underemployment indicates that collegeeducated blacks are more likely than all others
with degrees to work in jobs that don’t require
a four-year degree. Underemployment among
young African-American college graduates has
grown 10 percentage points since 2007 to 56
percent, yet during the same period, the rate
of underemployment among all recent college
graduates has not passed 45 percent.
Connect to Work is a six-week customer
service-training course, with a full 25 percent
of course time allotted to job coaching and
placement. Two groups are run annually,
in partnership with Project H.O.M.E.’s
Honickman Learning Center and Comcast
Technology Labs. In 2014 we recruited 37
participants, graduated 27, and placed 23 in
customer service roles.
The efforts of our
four Career Center staff members
are extended by a network of more
than 27 partner organizations.
The ULP Career Center attracts tri-state
residents looking for new or better jobs as well
as opportunities for upward mobility. In 2014,
we served 709 participants – a 28 percent
increase over the prior year. On-site services
include a suite of free offerings including jobsearch orientation, resume-writing, interview
prep, job coaching, and recruitment events with
members of our Board of Directors and partner
organizations. Our services connected 183 jobseekers with 19 area employers via Information
Sessions and Recruitment Sessions, and placed
clients into 128 jobs, a 20 percent increase over
the prior year.
Urban Leadership Forum (ULF), now in
its 21st year, graduated 28 participants from
the region’s top corporations in 2014, thus
preparing them for leadership roles in
both their organizations and
in their communities.
Internship Fair
The ULF program
ensures that participants
understand that
mentoring youth is
part of their civic duty
as upwardly mobile
managers. This year, ULF
participants interacted
with our Gear Up youth
program participants to
expose them to STEM
education, job readiness
and financial literacy.
COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The ULP is actively engaged in preparing our young people for future employment.
Through our Youth Programs, we offer students the skills and confidence necessary to
compete academically, while at the same time exposing them to a wide range of careers.
We also afford our youth exposure to social and cultural opportunities.
During Fiscal Year 2014, we served 848 students; presented $161,000 in college
scholarships to 93 students; and placed 57 high school and college summer interns.
The goal of GEAR UP is to increase the
academic performance of students, increase
the high school graduation rate, increase
postsecondary enrollment and increase student
and parent knowledge about postsecondary
access. GEAR UP students participated in the
Behind the Business program which provided
them information on linking Education to
Career Opportunities and featured trips to the
following organizations: Court of Common
Pleas, Office of the District Attorney,
SEPTA, Replica Creative and several others.
Project Ready, our program that fosters and
All students in the 10th and 11th grade at

Art Sphere, and the Grammy Museum. The
Free Library provided the space to support a
leadership activity. The Wells Fargo Museum
served as the kick venue for our financial
literacy workshops. Students completed
service learning projects at Art Sphere and
the exploration of the business of music was
conducted at the Grammy Museum.
Annual Report
Our Gear Up participants secured 50 summer internships and the program experienced participation
from over 575 students. With Mayor Michael Nutter.
The ULP College Internship Fair launched
in 2014 with a vision to connect scholarship
students with internships. Our inaugural
Internship Fair was hosted by Independence
Blue Cross. Nine corporate partners participated
this year - AmeriHealth Caritas Family of
Companies, Comcast/NBC Universal, PPL
Electric Utilities, the Barnes Foundation,
Aramark, TD Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank,
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and
Independence Blue Cross. 77 students
attended our prep session, 63
attended the Fair and eight
students were placed in highly
competitive internships. The
success of our inaugural
year means that we will
grow the Internship Fair
into a major program.

Youth Empowerment Day is a synergistic
effort that brings together GEAR UP students
and middle managers from our Urban
Leadership Forum for a day of education,
mentoring, and empowerment. The Urban
Leadership Forum participants created five
workshops for the 100 GEAR UP high schools
students that attended Youth Empowerment
Day. Topics included: Financial Literacy, Health
and Wellness, Politics, Professional Etiquette,
and Technology. The “Lunch with a Leader”
provided students with the unique opportunity
to have one-on-one mentoring sessions with
the Urban Leaderships Forum’s manager
participants.
The Urban Green League
delivers science exploration opportunities
to 2nd and 5th grade students who attend
Cooke Wissahickon and Steele Elementary
Schools. The program is facilitated by Riverbend
Environmental Education Center and combines
classroom presentations with on-site visits
to Riverbend to explore nature.
COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT continued
Childcare Information Services (CCIS)
has been a program of the ULP since 1992.
Fiscal Year 2013-2014 marked the 22nd
year operation for CCIS, with over 5,000
children served during the year. Funded by
Pennsylvania’s Office of Child Development and
Early Learning, the CCIS program determines
eligibility for subsidized child care funding
for families. Last year, CCIS serviced 11,153
children representing approximately 5,968
families.
Housing Counseling: As a HUD approved
housing counseling agency; a City of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Housing Finance
Agency designated housing counseling agency;
and an adopter of the National Industry
Standards for Homeownership, ULP provides
residents of the Greater Philadelphia Region
with professional housing education and
counseling services to promote and increase
home ownership. Over the past program year
our coaches and counselors served 1,284
clients: 534 benefitted from group education;
750 clients participated in counseling sessions;
and 177 foreclosures were successfully resolved.
In addition, our ULP counselors facilitated the
purchase of seven homes for first-time buyers.
Urban League Entrepreneurship Center
(ULEC) ensures that African Americans are in a
position to compete for and receive contracts
and/or provide services in the anticipated
prosperity of the Greater Philadelphia region.
Recognizing that it is a strategic imperative for
African American business owners to share in
the architecture of this future, ULEC is a bridge
to achieving this goal.
NExT Philadelphia
Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses,
funded by Goldman Sachs and the Goldman
Sachs Foundation, is “an investment to help
entrepreneurs create jobs and economic
opportunity by providing greater access to
education, capital and business support
services.” This year, ULP was able to capture
36 applicants for the program, 27 of whom
received interviews. Eleven interviewees were
accepted and we anticipate that ULP assisted
eight graduates from the next cohort of
entrepreneurs.
In FY2014, ULEC served 791 small business
clients, resulting in the creation of $3.2 million
in contracts and capital, thus equipping
minority entrepreneurs to take advantage of
new business opportunities and qualify for
further financing.
ULP’S AFFINITY GROUPS
The Philadelphia Urban League Guild is
made up of women members who raise money
to support our programs as well as their own
community service activities. Our Guild has
the distinct honor of being recognized as
the most active Guild among all NUL
affiliates. This program year the
Guild raised over $66,000. Their
efforts earned them the NUL’s
2014 Eastern Region Community
Service and Fundraising Award.
The Guild proudly celebrates its
72nd anniversary in 2014.

The Network of Extraordinary Talent (NExT
Philadelphia) serves as the ULP’s bridge to
long-term sustainability by attracting young,
up and coming, committed professionals.
A force to be reckoned with, this group of
dynamic people is indicative of our hope for
the future. The group, now 124 strong, has
recently developed its plan for the future and
anticipates a huge bump in membership in
the coming year. NExT partnered with Coors
Light during FY2014 year to provide a $25,000
donation to makeover the Leon Sullivan Center
basketball court in North Philadelphia.
2014 SPOTLIGHTS ON THE PEOPLE WE SERVE
EMPLOYMENT
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Like so many managers in recent years, Renee
had experienced the dismay of a lengthy job
search. However, in her case, the job market
packed a double-punch. First downsized
in 2008, she spent an arduous three years
applying for jobs ranging from the seniorlevel positions for which her education and
employment had trained her, down to entrylevel positions that would allow her to at least
earn a basic living. She eventually landed a job
out of town in New York, only to find herself
downsized yet again after less than a year.
Since 2012, James Eley of Eley Electrical
Contractors, LLC has worked extensively
with ULEC to position his company for
growth. ULEC provided guidance with tax
restructuring, procurement, contract review
and financing. After a strong year in 2013
with a $100,000 line of credit and a $750,000
contract for a shopping center in North
Philadelphia, the company was
able to increase build capacity.
Eley Electrical recently
secured three contracts
totaling over $1.3 million
to provide electrical wiring
and heating/air conditioning
installation for residential and
commercial properties.
When Renee approached our Career Services
team, exhausted and discouraged after an
unpredictable, multi-year job search, she had
already identified an employer whose mission
and culture were a good fit for her own
professional goals and skills – the AmeriHealth
Caritas Family of Companies.
“ I have, and will continue to share
with others, my experience with
working with the Urban League…
and have encouraged them to
access the support and services
that your office provides.”
“My journey to
re-employment
has been a very long
and winding road.”
As she sought a position within the
corporation, we were able to assist
her efforts as a networking partner
and ally, leveraging our own relationships
and advocacy template. She earned an
opportunity to interview, after which she
received an offer of employment in Fall
2013 as a Research Analyst.

ADVOCACY
As a part of a work-study program through
ITT Technical Institute, the ULP was able to
obtain four interns from both the Criminal
Justice and Computer drafting and design
departments. During their time at ULP the
interns were tasked with assisting with the
execution of ULP’s Affordable Care Act (ACA)
campaign. Tanzania, an intern who had
previously suffered an aneurism and a stroke,
took this opportunity to enroll for coverage
and was able to secure health insurance for
herself and her son for less than $1.00 per
month. Her powerful testimony made her
an ideal spokesperson for our outreach, and
Tanzania talked about her personal triumph
at community events, on our telephone town
halls, and to clients as they came into our
offices.
Just one month after Tanzania enrolled in
the ACA through ULP, she suffered another
aneurism and was told by doctors that she
needed brain surgery. The entire procedure
was covered under her newly acquired
healthcare plan.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
“We even tried our
best to negotiate with
the bank ourselves to
keep our home, but
with no success”
Years of hard work had earned Ronald and
Neffertina a comfortable middle-class income
and lifestyle. They wanted the best for their two
beautiful children – but over a very stressful
three-year span, both Ronald and Neffertina
were unexpectedly laid off. They relied on
savings initially to stay afloat. Eventually, they
had to turn to friends and family for loans
and during a particularly difficult stretch, they
applied for public assistance. They were on the
verge of losing their home.
“We are happy
that we no longer
have the burden
of this battle
anymore.”
Now S. White is an
honor roll student and an
inspiration to his family and
classmates. He is now in the
midst of preparing to attend
college in 2015.
On the advice of a friend, Ronald and Neffertina
got in touch with the ULP’s certified housing
counselors, and they were able to negotiate
with the Germans’ lender and secure a loan
modification with more affordable monthly
payments.
In the meantime, both Ronald and Neffertina
kept looking for work – and ultimately
secured full-time jobs.
EDUCATION
“That is why we believe it is so
important to continue funding
programs like this one to assist
other families in danger of
losing their homes.”

S. White considered himself a fighter and a
tough guy. One day at school, he got into a
fight and was referred to Juvenile Court with
limited access to after-school activities. After
enrolling in ULP’s Project Ready program and
attending for several weeks, he realized that
there was more in his future than fighting and
getting into trouble. Now S. White is an honor
roll student and an inspiration to his family and
classmates. An All-Public athlete competing in
football, S. White interned as an Administrative
Assistant at ULP during summer 2014 where he
focused on administrative work and greeted our
clients. He is now in the midst of preparing to
attend college in 2015.

The Urban League of Philadelphia
is an affiliate of the
National Urban League
OUR MOVEMENT
OUR STRATEGY
Established in 1910, the National Urban League is the nation’s oldest
and largest community-based movement devoted to empowering African
Americans to enter the economic and social mainstream. Today, the
National Urban League spearheads the non-partisan efforts of its 98 local
affiliates that provide services to more than 2 million people nationwide.
Since 1917, the Urban League of Philadelphia (ULP), as part of this national
network, provides direct services, research and policy advocacy to help
individuals and communities reach their fullest potential.
The Urban League of Philadelphia employs a three-point strategy known as
the ABC’s – Advocacy & Policy, Business & Talent Diversity and Community &
Economic Development.
• Advocacy & policy: Inspire and advance positive change in public policy and private sector practices affecting African Americans.
• Business & talent diversity: Advance African Americans’ participation and success in the workplace.
• Community & economic development: Empower African Americans currently on the margins of economic success to achieve greater financial self-reliance.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Urban League is to empower African Americans to
secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights.
OUR VISION
The Urban League of Philadelphia will be the place where individuals,
businesses, non-profits and the public sector come together to develop and
implement activities that advance African Americans into and within the
economic and social mainstream in the Greater Philadelphia region.
Donor Option #122
OUR PLAN
To build alliances and create opportunities that foster economic empowerment,
advancement and achievement for African Americans.
