DOING GOOD IS GOOD BUSINESS

It takes a collective effort to create community-wide solutions for our region’s challenges. United Way Suncoast assumes the role best suited to our strengths and the community’s needs.

In some efforts, we provide leadership and staffing to organize resources and serve as a bridge between partners. For others we support funded partners to deliver services. And when appropriate, we provide services ourselves.

In all work, we align efforts, interests and funding to create the greatest, most effective impact for the community.

In 2014, United Way Suncoast adopted a 5-year strategic plan to break the cycle of generational poverty through educational strategies that give children the skills to succeed and help adults achieve financial stability.

Why? Because under-educated children in poverty are nearly three times more likely to drop out of school and repeat the cycle of poverty than their middle income peers.

The good news is that we know how the cycle works, we know how to break it, and we have the community relationships to partner with business, government and nonprofit leaders to make change happen.

As part of this plan, United Way Suncoast and partners worked together to establish three community-wide targets to measure progress and impact.

A Single Mission: Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty

GoalsEnsure that children are graduating from high school with the skills necessary to pursue post-secondary education or vocational training.

GoalsEnsure that children are surpassing key readiness and early grade reading benchmarks.
