Several years ago, along with a team of volunteers, field experts, United Way professionals, nonprofits and community investors, we set out to become even more effective in delivering results that have a lasting impact in Miami-Dade.
The result: a new community plan, set forth by United Way volunteers and other community experts, focused on achieving outcomes in four specific areas determined to be essential in improving people’s lives and strengthening Miami-Dade:
- Helping kids and families lead successful lives
- Improving health and independence
- Responding to emergency and basic needs
- Encouraging civic and neighborhood involvement
As of July 1, 2005, we began investing in key strategies that address specific goals in our four areas of focus. We have since partnered with over 150 programs at 66 agencies that are committed to impacting an individual’s life in measurable and definable ways. We call these changes outcomes.
Going forward, we’ll learn not only who the community plan helps, but also how their lives are improved and, over time, what strategies are most effective at producing the outcomes we desire.
