Initiatives
SCHOOLS OF HOPE
Since 1995, United Way, in collaboration with other community
partners, has focused on improving the academic achievement of
students of color and narrowing the gap between African American,
Hispanic, Asian and Native American students and their white
peers. The collaboration includes a significant tutoring effort to help
elementary students learn to read at grade level by third grade.

At United Way of Dane County, our objective is results. We invest
the community’s charitable contributions to yield meaningful,
sustainable change in the quality of lives and communities. United
Way of Dane County is actively developing new partnerships in the
areas of decreasing homelessness, developing our youth and adults
as leaders in the community and ensuring accessible services
for our seniors and persons with disabilities. The initiatives listed
are those in place at the time this publication was created.
BY YOUTH FOR YOUTH (BYFY)
In partnership with Oscar Mayer/Kraft Foods, the Dane County
Youth Commission and the City of Madison, a committee
of Dane County high school students meets each year from
October through April. These students develop guidelines and
priorities for programs they wish to fund, compose a request
for proposals, review written proposals from a variety of youth
groups, and make funding recommendations for youth initiatives.
Contact: Lauren Martin, (608) 246-5488, lmartin@uwdc.org
BORN LEARNING
Beginning in 2008, United Way of Dane County launched the Born
Learning initiative with a focus on increasing the percentage
of children entering kindergarten with the skills needed to be
successful in school. This will be accomplished through screenings
at critical stages of their development, identifying and providing
interventions for developmental delays at an early stage, as
well as providing caregivers with information and support about
appropriate development (birth to 5) and what they can do to
encourage that development. Our Mobile Play and Learn is one
of the strategies being used to reach family, friend and neighbor
caregivers with support and critical information on how to help their
children develop the appropriate skills to be ready to start school.
Contact: Kathy Hubbard, (608) 246-4373, khubbard@uwdc.org
HOUSING IN ACTION
The Housing in Action Leadership Team (HALT), led by United Way,
is focused on decreasing homelessness and increasing affordable
housing. With representatives from government, banking, real
estate, education and the non-profit sector, this diverse group is
combining their knowledge, skills and resources to tackle these
important issues. Their mobilization plan is instituting strategies
focused on landlord and tenant connections, financial counseling,
food access and direct access to permanent housing. Through
these efforts and others we can reduce the number of homeless
families with minor children in Dane County by 50% in five years.
Contact: Martha Cranley, (608) 246-4353, mcranley@uwdc.org
ACHIEVEMENT CONNECTIONS
In 2008, United Way of Dane County launched the Achievement
Connections initiative with a focus on reducing the truancy
rate in Dane County schools and increasing the high school
graduation rate. Our pilot communities, Oregon and Middleton/
Cross Plains, began the 2008-2009 school year implementing
strategies that screen and treat middle school students for
mental health issues, support parents in their struggles to help
their children and bring volunteer tutors/graduation mentors to
the children who need that support starting in the sixth grade.
We added the Madison Metropolitan School District in 2010.

In 2013, in response to the MMSD data on chronic absenteeism the
HERE! Advisory Council was established in partnership with MMSD
to research the issue of chronic absenteeism and develop strategies
to improve attendance, particularly at the kindergarten level.

THE JOURNEY HOME
This initiative, which began in 2005, strives to prevent prisoners
who have completed their sentences and are coming home to Dane
County from reoffending and returning to prison. Through the REST
strategies —residency, employment, support and treatment—
this effort has significantly reduced the recidivism percentages
for those prisoners that stay involved with the program. Contact:
Angela Jones, (608) 246-4376 angelajones@uwdc.org
SAFE AND HEALTHY AGING
This initiative aims to keep seniors safe, healthy, and independent
by reducing the rate of adverse drug events (ADEs) and falls by
15% by 2015. Falls and adverse drug events are found to be the two
triggers of functional decline of aging adults. The Safe and Healthy
Aging initiative is comprised of four strategies, with identification
and assessment of ADEs being the key strategy, that bring
together health care providers, community-based pharmacists,
social service providers, caregivers, media, and United Way 211.
