2007 Fund Distribution Process

 

United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, Inc.’s Board of Directors has approved the distribution of $2,100,000 to local programs in Volusia & Flagler Counties. This represents an additional $40,000 in funding, or a 2% increase, over the previous year’s allocations.

The total $2,100,000 will go to health and human services at United Way’s 45 local partner agencies and 85 programs. Higher quality program scores were rewarded with increases, while lower quality program scores were given either flat funding or decreases in funding, depending on the severity of the low score.  Seven programs received funding recommendations that exceeded the “model” funding. The Fund Distribution Committee felt that these were all exceptional programs that demonstrated the need for additional funding.

The process and criteria used for making Allocations decisions for the 45 partner agencies and 85 programs in 2006-2007 was essentially the same as in the previous three years. Funding decisions were based on the type of program, the quality of the services provided and the impact that the program has on its target population.  New programs were not funded, unless the programs represented a redistribution of existing allocations, subject to United Way approval.

Programs continue to be classified according to the following categories:

  •      Category 1- Essential Services- These programs provide for basic needs, which include food, clothing, and emergency shelter.

  •     Category 2 - Critical Services- These programs provide services for crisis support such as: maintaining or obtaining employment (including child care support), crisis medical care, and crisis mental health services.

  •     Category 3 - Treatment and Residential Services- These programs provide ongoing services for substance abuse, health, mental health, disabilities, and support.

  •     Category 4 - Prevention, Education and Recreational Services- These programs provide services with long-term outcomes relating to prevention, education, recreation, and outreach.

Community volunteers involved with the Allocations Review Team made revisions to the Agency Ranking Worksheet to further enhance the process of evaluating program quality.  The worksheet is now divided into three sections:  Agency Management/Board Governance, Program Information, and United Way Partnership. 

Section 1 covers:

  • Board Governance & Participation

  • Resource Development

  • Response to Prior Recommendations

  • Budget/Financial Resources

Section 2 covers:

  • Program Accessibility

  • Program Population

  • Outcome Measurements

Section 3 covers:

  • Performance as United Way partner

  • Compliance with funding requirements

The internal programs of United Way (First Call for Help, Volunteer Center, and Success by Six) were reviewed using a revised internal program application which focuses on outcome measures and demographic data.  Additionally, allocations leadership met with program directors and a member of their respective advisory committee to discuss the program and its performance over the past year.
