United Way Funding Considerations
Total United Way Funding is 9 Percent of Budget
Currently, a Full Donor Choice United Way
2003 Allocation ($157,000) was a Decrease of 20 Percent from Prior Year ($197,000)
2003 Designated Contributions ($130,000) Was an Increase of 14 Percent from Prior Year ($114,000)
![Page 16: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
United Way Funding Considerations
Mix of United Way FundingDesignated Contributions Are 42 Percent
Do Not Receive Names and Addresses of DonorsCommunity Investment Fund Is 58 Percent
Inclusiveness Policy Affects this Fund
United Way Is Implementing Strategies to Decrease Designated ContributionsTheir Goal Is to Eliminate Designated
Contributions
![Page 17: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Relationship Exit Strategy Options
Reapply for Membership and Attempt to Position the Council to Extend Funding from United Way as Long as Possible Use Executive Board Resources to
Leverage Continued United Way Support for This Membership Period
Reapply for Membership and Expect the Application to Be Rejected (Kicked Out)
![Page 18: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Relationship Exit Strategy Options
Acknowledge That the Relationship Should End Because United Way Has Changed Their Mission and Purpose Propose a Mutually Beneficial Phase-OutGo Public!
Inform Supporters and Stakeholders of the Phase-Out, Reasons for It, and Need to Replace United Way Funding
![Page 19: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pros of a Phase-Out Strategy
Receive Funding Past the Expected Time of the Termination of the Relationship
Increase Designated and Direct Contributions Because of United Way’s Inclusiveness Policy
Take High Ground and Not Risk the Press Reporting That the Council Compromised or Changed to Continue to Get United Way Funding
![Page 20: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pros of a Phase-Out Strategy
Avoid a Public Battle and Negative Press Coverage Creating an Environment: Where High-Profile Corporate and Public Leaders
Would Distance Themselves from Serving on the Executive Board, etc.
Affect Decisions of Some Potential Chartered Partners and Families Not to Join Scouting
Avoid Forcing Board Members and Donors Who Support Both Organizations to Have to Choose One Organization Over the Other
![Page 21: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pros of a Phase-Out Strategy
Puts Council in a Stronger Position for the Public Battle If the United Way Rejects the Proposed Mutually Beneficial Phase-Out
Denies the Gay Movement the Opportunity to Claim the “BSA Being Kicked Out of United Way” as a Victory for Them
![Page 22: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cons of a Phase-Out Strategy
Do Not Have a Public Battle in the Press to Use as a Means to Rally Support
![Page 23: United Way Strategies Partial or Full Loss of Allocations Funding.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b32b23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
